Default 883r seat

I'm liking my 883r but the seat is fine for short journeys and a right pain in the **** on anything longer than 30 miles.

I don't mind the seat is very low without much in the way of bum cushioning, I can easily get away with a bit me height.

I was looking at either a new seat or getting an upholster to make mine better
The new seat was a sundowner if it doesn't look a pigs ear on the 883r or give the same pain as my stock.

Any ideas of increased comfort

I just got a mustang solo for my dyna (it's really improved the quality of my ride). Just checked, they have a few options for the sportster. i highly recommend them.
