Narrowed it down to two seats
So I've narrowed my extensive search of seats to two. The Mustang Fastback and Le Pera Daytona. I'm just looking for opinions from people that have used these seats. Not looking for suggestions for other brands. How comfortable are these seats? I've been running the Biltwell Continental for two years and my *** can no longer take it. EXTREMELY uncomfortable after an hour of riding. Thanks in advance for the replies. Oh and pics too if you have them

I run the Daytona on my dyna 80% of the time. I love it for me, but if youre looking for an all-day comfort seat I dont think its going to be the one you want. After breaking it in, I have done 600+ mile days on it, but it is uncomfortable after a couple hours, luckily Im in my 20s and can still put up with that. Also your SO will not enjoy the passenger part of the seat. It may as well not be there in my opinion. When I take my SO out on it a different seat goes on now so shes not complaining about it.
Now on the plus side I think its the best looking 2-up seat for matching the curves and profile of the bike and I have zero intentions of going to something else.

Thanks dn.bnntt. My wife doesn't ride with me. So the seat is just for me. I also don't do day long trips. Just a couple of hours at a time. As long as I can do about 3 hours at a time on the seat I'll be good

I have a Daytona 2-Up, which I think is exactly the same from the hump forward... I can sit in it for hours a day, and days at a time... I think it's very comfortable. But I also tend to choose seats for appearance more than comfort. But the Daytona is the seat I use if travelling.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply! I guess the only other question I have for you guys is, how much do you weigh? I only weigh about 165lbs and have like no padding in my ***. It's like straight flesh cheek and bone. So I'm pretty much depending on the seat for padding

Price in relation to comfort. Never in a million years would I spend $400+ on a damn seat. Unless it blew me while riding

fwiw, while not the most expensive, my seat was the single most enjoyable change Ive made so far. Made the bike more comfortable and I went with a Corbin widowmaker that I chose the upholstery/colors for to, make it different and my own.
