Seat recommendations
Dang, that seat looks great on a bike! (similar to my OEM seat that I think looks great!) Hows the comfort? cushier that stock? let you ride longer?
I used to be able to only ride 120mi or so before I got hot spots with the stock seat on my street bob with the mid controls. But since I installed the highway pegs that go in the forward control mounts, It puts me in a position where I roll back into the seat little more, and I rode 150+ miles this weekend using my new highway pegs a good amount and felt great when I got off.

When a seat is too soft, it feels great when you first sit on it, but then as the miles go by and you sink down into it, the pressure points change. That's what you're experiencing with the stock seat.
I recently did a little 300 mile day on the stock seat, and I was definitely uncomfortable by the end. This past Wednesday I did another 300 mile ride on the Mustang, and it was as comfortable as could be. Plus, the ridge in the back holds my pelvis in a better position, so my back doesn't start to ache. Two thumbs up!
I also have the passenger pillion, and it's as thick as an LA phone book! Mustang part #'s for both: 76117 and 76119

It's significantly more comfortable than the stock seat. Surprisingly, one of the main reasons is that it's a little bit firmer.

Sick Saddles Solo. Softest seat I've ever owned. Done long trips with it. Wouldn't trade it for anything else.
