well my wife and I found the C&C sport tour less comfortable than a badlander. 10 minutes into our first ride my wife hated it so much we had to turn back and put the stock 05 FXDC seat back on to go riding. I tried the seat solo myself and I could not stand it after about 30 minutes. I have found the corbin gambler to be the most comfortable seat I ever sat on. I have a mustang tripper solo and pillion that we use and the seat is outstanding for both me and my wife. I would buy the corbin however I use a haulin *** backrest, and the seats mounting system will not allow me to use the backrest. Maybe I'll get a danny grey weekday 2up or lepera daytona myself. The main thing I dislike about my seat is the way it looks.

This is a suggestion that every body overlooks but i think it is a worthwhile method of trying out before wasting a few hundred bucks on a new seat I got one and cant be more happy. any body for a guess of what it is??
OK.. i guess i will tell you. go git your self a sheepskin seat cover it is the best 50$ i have ever spent. it will give you more comfort than any seat upgrade that you can buy. just my opion though..

I think it rides fine but my wife still can't handle it after 20 miles or so.
I think the sheep skin is my next choice before changing another seat.
Here is a copy and paste I keep for quick seat answers.
I have added the luggage rack as well.
#52159-06 pillow look seat $229.95
#52656-04 backrest pad $59.95
#52877-08 kit upright (sissy bar) $84.95
#52866-06 detachable sideplates $139.95
#53964-06 docking hardware $24.95
#53982-08 luggage rack $134.95
