Default New Seat

I'm considering a new seat for my 2007 Fatboy for comfort on longer runs. Any suggestions out there? I read good things about Corbin.

Gotta say I am well pleased with my Corbin Classic Solo - so on that basis I thoroughly recommend that as a great choice.

Lower the fat boy, get a La Pera hard seat and really get a feel for the road - especially on those loooooooonnnnnnggggg&nbsp\\;rides - HA!&nbsp\\; Been there - done that (I'm 4 inches shorter).

Just put a Corbin Classic Solo on my Deluxe last weekend.&nbsp\\; I've only sat in it about 300 miles, but it's already way more comfortable than the stock seat.&nbsp\\;

Heard nothing but good things about HD's Sundowner series. Backrest is supposed to help immensely on long rides. I've got both on order for my Street Glide so no first hand experience, yet!

If you go with corbin get the flame stitching, no extra cost. Extra padding.
