Default Advice needed on a seat

I have a 2010 HD Street Glide.......I am looking to gain some comfort for 2up.......I have been looking at the HD Hammock seat and the Mustang wide tripper....... the hammock is comfy, but big and bulky....not seen the Mustang other than in pics...it looks nice, but will we gain alot of comfort over the factory seat?

Thanks!

If you are going to be doing a lot of long distance riding, nothing will beat the H-D Road Zepplin seat. Mustang, Hammock, Saddlemen, Day Long etc cant match the comfort of the RZ seat. Yes, those other seats are head and shoulders above the stock seat, but the RZ beats them all, mainly because you can completely change the whole seat dynamics. I've had mine for 6 years now and go to Canada every year and would not ride without it. It does cost a bit, but my comfort is worth it. A friend of mine in our chapter weighs around
350 lbs, he just bought a RZ seat on e-bay for a good price. He told us it was the most comfortable seat he has ever had. If you know someone with a RZ seat ask him if you can try it out....YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED.

I want a seat that 500+ mile day won't kill you, but still want the sleek low profile look. That's one reason I like the wide tripper from Mustang.
