Default Seat options for 02 Softy

So...after spending way to many hrs wrenching on my classic Triumph chopper, I decided that I needed a more reliable bike to ride every day. So I bought an 02 softail. The seats on the bike are both ugly and uncomfortable. Not sure what kind they are, don't appear to be factory and no stamp on the seat pan.
So, my question is, what are some good seat options (I'd like a 1 piece front a rear seat, but not totally opposed to separate seats) for both comfort and style. I like smooth seats, no buttons, fringe, etc.
Thanks in advance for for input

I recently put a Corbin Gunfighter & Lady on Reaper ('05 Night Train). It was a little hard at first, but I've put over 3000 miles on it, and it has broken in very nicely. I'm good for all day riding with it, and i like the way it looks on my bike.



Cheers!

I have this "fastback/badlander" style Harley seat, was brand new when I picked up my Springer a few months ago. I can tell you it's very comfy for the rider. For the passenger....it's a bit smaller on the back. I like the pillowtop "Regal Duke" seat which is why I didn't keep this seat.

If you like this style...and it's brand new, I'll sell for $90...plus the trip.

I have a LePera Sorrento on mine, as others have said good for me, not so good for the lady on longer trips. It is fine for her up to a couple of hours. I also have a LePera Sillouette solo that I like. It is hard but looks really lean and is good for up to 4-5 hrs. My Fatboy had a Heritage seat on it when I got it that is awesome for longer trips.
