Had a Corbin solo on my chopper and it was firm, but very comfortable.

+1 on the Corbin. I had the Mustang Wide touring on my Dyna last year. It was great for the first month, but the seat material is too spongy for me and not supportive enough. YMMV, but for me, it is very plush but lacks support. Was getting major lower back pain as the back of the seat digged into my lower back.

Over the winter, I got the Corbin classic solo w/backrest. So far, no back pain and no complaints with riding comfort. On the Mustang, I could go about an hour before I had to stop. On the Corbin, I feel as good as new. I would say the Corbin is firm but supportive, wheras the Mustang was soft but lacked support in the right places.

As far as looks, the Corbin I have looks more like it belongs on the Dyna and fits the lines of the bike better IMO. It also is leather so it has a more polished appearance.

I swapped out the stock seat on my 2007 Road King for a Hammock seat. The difference was immediate and awesome.

I like C&C seats and run them on two of my bikes. Custom made to order and quickly at a reasonable price. Talk to Chuck or Dave and they will take good care of you.
