I think I found a seat
When I had my 2004 XL1200r I tried a Mustang, a Corbin and finally settled on a LePera Sanora. Needless to say I am verey picky when it comes to a seat for my ride.
I decided to get a new seat for my 2005 FXDI since the OEM had about 20,000 miles on it and was starting to feel a little worn.
I ordered a Mustang Wide Vintage Solo and Passenger pad but there was just something about the seat I didn't like. I didn't like the way it seem to move me forward or the way it seem to slant backwards. I guess I must be one of the few people out there that does not care for the feel of the Mustang seat. WHile it is a very well made seat and a real bargain it just did not feel right for me.
I sent the Mustang back and ordered a Corbin Dual Tour. The seat came today and boy is it ever HARD! However I took the bike for a ride and the seat really holds me in place and actually feels pretty good.
I think once the seat gets a few thousand miles on it it will be PERFECT! I also like the real leather. The only thing I don't like about the Corbin is the method they use to cover up the mounting hole for the back rest. It ruins the line and look of the seat however I did not buy this seat for looks. I bought it for comfort.
The Corbin Dual tour gets two thumbs up from me.

RE: I think I found a seat
Is that the Corbin seat on the bike pictured in your post?
Our bikes are very simular. I am looking at a LePera seat
for mine. Since the wife started riding with me the stock seat
doesn't cut it for her. A lot of opinions out there about seats,
exhaust, etc. I have mostly heard good things about the
Corbin seats but they take a little to break in but when they
do break in they are top notch.

I just went out and took a picture of my bike with the Corbin Dual Tour and changed my Avatar.
