I never found the stock FLSTN seat to be comfortable for more than an hour at a time. To me, it was the seams that ran right underneath my sit bones. After an hour I'd swear I could count every stitch with my butt. I ended up with a Mustang wide solo and ran it for 21 years.

Honestly I never really pay attention to the seat, I'm always out and about looking at everything else and never really felt it..

+1...the Mustang Wide Solo is a really comfortable seat.

It moved me up a little and is wider at the front than the FatBoy seat that was on the bike before. The FatBoy seat looked better IMO, but the Mustang Wide Touring with Backrest is a lot more comfortable!

The only other seat I'd run on a Heritage is the sprung Deluxe solo seat (52006-47B). I always wanted to put one on my FLSTN and finally did on my '19 Heritage.

I really like the look of the sprung solo but it looks like it has that same ridge up front that is creating my numb manhood issues.

I've used mean City in the past and they did a good job. Thanks for the reminder. Between these and the Corbin I've always used in the past, tough choices. Appreciate all of the input.
