I'm afraid you have to find a seat that works for you, I have been through a few myself, expensive journey, right now I'm on a Corbin dual tour, and I believe it's what I'm going to be with, it's really hard to know until you put some miles on one, good luck

Pretty much that.
The only seat that I've never heard a complaint about is Russell Daylong. I had one and it was great.
So why I didn't go that route again is beyond me. I have a Mustang Supertouring that I also had modified by MCC. It's not bad. Pretty good even. But not half as good as a Daylong.
so i got a new bike, '16 RG in march and have been riding it mostly these last two weeks since the weather has been really cold till recent. well we have a trip coming up in 3 weeks and i was hoping that by putting miles on the bike before the trip i would be able to "break in" the seat. well the more i ride the bike and the more the seat loosens up the more i HATE it. now i don't know whether to just suck it up or do i get something else and risk it not being comfy either?
get the Harley Hammock seat, if longer rides I would also recommend the backrest. Goto your dealership and get one of their loaner seats to try it out.

The only problem with that is I have heard it moves you forward and up. That is the opposite way that I want to go.
So far with 8,000km, I have found the stock seat to be just fine. Have had a number of long days in the saddle too. I have a backrest that helps. However, this seat is quite soft. While it is fine for my 160lb frame, I can imagine it would run out of comfort quickly for a larger rider. This is the first bike I've owned that hasn't had the seat changed out within a month, lol.
Put an Ultra on my Rushmore SGS and its definitely an improvement over stock but not liking what it did to the lines on the bike. Fortunately I didn't
pay a lot for it but it is comfortable.
I'm running the Danny Gray Air Hawk and it's very firm, but comfortable. It sits me a little further back and a bit lower which is exactly what I was looking for. I'm liking it, but I've only had an hour in the saddle at the longest so far. I'm about to run a 1200-1300 mile trip coming up in another week which will be a real test.
