Default comfortable seat question

I have new fatbob. the seat is fine for a few hundred miles, but I feel any longer and my butt and junk would be numb. So my question is, what is good comfortable single saddle to help this.

I am looking for brown leather, I would like to find a one stop shop for saddle
swing arms saddle bag
tank bib
tool pouch

I would like all of em to be the same material and the seat to be comfortable for my 280lbs self.

Any suggestions?

To find all of that stuff in brown will probably mean a custom made set.

However, if a comfortable saddle is all you want, Mustang by far the best I have found, may not be a sleek as others, but I have done more than 1 Iron Butt on them and felt just fine afterward. I have the Wide Super Touring saddle. Also have a Mustang Daytripper for around town, not a long haul seat for me.

Always a possibility, yes. Mustang may offer brown, I don't know for sure.

C&C - I have the Fastback 2up with gel option and love it! They do custom work too.

+1 on the mustang. I have 16.5 inch wide vintage solo and it is brilliant.

Mustang can also sell you an uncovered seat so you can have it done in the finish you want. They also work with and recommend a 3rd party upholsterer/saddler who can finish the seat for you. All the details are on their website

I think this is true of most seats bud. A few hundred miles is a few hundred miles, regardless.

Still, I have heard more positives about Mustang solo seats than any others over the years.
