Default Sadleman road sofa vs Corbin Byrd coop

So im looking for info on seats trying to decide between a roadsofa and corbin byrd coop custom. I have a road sofa on my 22 road glide but i just bought a 2025 road glide st cvo the bike its gonna be my highway bike on track to ride 12-16k miles this year and dont want to pile all the miles on my built 22 road glide. Not to mention with the 22 making 178 ft lbs of torque and 173 HP lets just say i get 130 miles to a tank. how is the corbin seats? I like that its more custom but looking for comfort at times we will ride 1000 miles day. Typically 500 at the min

If the Corbin fits your body, it's fantastic. It spreads your weight over a larger area, and doesn't loose support over a long day. We've put Corbins on every HD we've owned, all eleven of them, and done them all at the Corbin factory in Hollister, CA. They were made specificly to fit us. They are VERY firm, so if they don't fit your backside, they would be uncomfortable, like a cast for someone else's body on yours.

I've had Corbin seats on 5 Harleys and they are so good I even have one on my e-bicycle.

I tried a Saddleman once and ended up hating it. Seeing them for sale used all over the place also tells me a lot.

Not to be contrary, I had a Corbin on both my bmw and hd rgu. I sold both as I found them too hard. I do really like the saddleman
