OEM Harley Davidson seats in general are not that comfortable. If you want comfort and good looks I would go with either a Mustang or Corbin seat. I had a Mustang fastback seat on a SuperGlide I used to own, and it was sporty looking, yet the most comfortable seat I have ever ridden on. I could literally ride all day on it without my **** hurtin. I have a Corbin Gunslinger seat on the Wide Glide I presently own, also nice looking seat and fairly comfortable. I don't recommend either of these seats for two up, but those companies make some really nice looking two up seats also. Just Google either Mustang Motorcycle Seats, or Corbin Motorcycle Seats and check out their websites.

Got the sundowner very comfy but the looks suck. Great for two up. Picked up a HD sidekick off ebay for $130 (retail $370) easy to change and is the best solution. When it is just me the sidekick looks good and is pretty comfortable, when it is wife and I the sundowner is on.

Hard to beat a Sundowner for comfort, I just replace my Sundowner with a lePera Daytona plush, it is not as comfortable, and I miss (so does the wife) the Sundowner, in retrospect, I wish I had kept the Sundowner for long rides ( like over 300 miles) but that big pillowy look...[:'(]

As a rule most comfortable touring seats look like s**t on dynas IMHO. Some more than others but all in all it's function over form when it comes to seats.

That LePera a couple posts up looks pretty good.Also a stock lowrider seat doesn't look too bad or uncomfortable.
