Default need new seat

I know this question has been asked before, but I'll ask again. I have a 2007 lowrider and I am looking for a 2 up seat that will put me back 1" to 2". I do not want the pillow type because I have the sundowner (comfortable but fugly), looking for a sleek but with some padding. The stock is to hard and sits me on the tank,like the looks. I have been looking at lepera,saddleman and others. I am 6', 190lbs. any input would be appreciated.

the mustang vintage solo isnt what I would call sleek but it will set you farther back and lower than the sundowner and isnt fugly. I have both. the sundowner is drawing dust. You might want to check out the mustang tripper.

C&C Sport Tour is exactly what you just described, a guy even has a very slightly used one for sale in the classifieds to fit your bike as we speak.

I would go with the Mustang Wide Tripper. I had one on my Roadking. Did some long rides with no pain and it looked GREAT...

Corbin makes a good saddle...I picked up a dual tour off of a fellow forum member recently.
Much better fitting seat than stock. It is firm, but supportive and sits better. It seems to be slightly further back than stock. Passenger part is the biggest improvement over stock.
For reference, I am 6'1" & 215lbs & it seems to be about perfect for me with forward controls.

I bought the Mustang Vintage Solo and it did not move me back. Perhaps the WIDE Vintage Solo would. I'm waiting on a Lepera Daddy Long Legs.
