Depends on how much you weigh, I weigh 160lbs and found my 07 stock solo seat fits like a glove, so comfortable. There is no BEST SEAT, whatever fit your A S S lol

Then you might need something with more padding. Mustang wide vintage solo? Just a thought

I can only speak for what I have, the Mustang Wide Vintage Solo. I too am 230 lb. I love this seat. The standard Vintage Solo is not nearly as wide looking. Quite a few eBay sellers for way le$$ than retail.
