Default Road King Solo Seat Comparison

I recently purchased a 2015 Road King and I had an H-D Brawler solo seat Harley part number 51525-09a installed at the dealer. I'm not happy with the seat it is uncomfortable and the riding position puts me too far back from the handlebars to the point where I have to lean forward to reach them. On rides of more that 50 miles it gets uncomfortable. I am looking at seats from Mustang, the Vintage solo seat J&P cycle part number 802-170 and the Saddlemen Renegade solo seat Drag Specialties part number 0801-0795. I find that the stock seat gives me the comfort and riding position the I'm looking for but I really like to look of the solo when I'm riding alone. Does anybody have any input on these two aftermarket seats or any suggestions?

Go to your dealer and try some of the loaner seats they have. I know the Sundowner will set you forward about a inch. It did me.
