My latest seat, is a Dual tour Corbin, which so far for me, has been the most comfortable, For me. I still get a little numbness after hrs of riding, but it has molded to my rear, and i have no pressure points. I have another brand of seat, that would pressure the back of my thigh's, and was told by the maker, my footboards need raised. So possibly, ergonomics of your bike plays a roll also (bars-footboard height ect) But with the Corbin i don't have that pressure, without changing the boards. That Saddleman looks to be a good seat, i think firmer is better in the long run, once the seat is molded to you. I have 2 or 3 seats in my barn, and am riding the Corbin, cuz so far, it fit's me best
Idahokid I think once you start getting older that is true. When I was young I could ride all day on the cheap seats that came stock on import bikes back in the 70's and think nothing of it. Not the happening anymore.
I think you might be right.A year ago my C&C seat was good for an hour or there about.I started excersizing a few months ago and I can ride all day if I stop once in awhile and my hips don't hurt anymore.I think your fitness level has something to do with it.
You guys should consider lowering the floor boards or Forward controls.
I had the same problem you do in '13 on an RK. My butt/back/hips hurt to the point of me being in misery.
I traded the '13 RK for a '14 Street Glide, still no relief until I put Accutronix forwards on the SG and ALL of my problems went away.
Now on my '15 UC and '16 FLHXS, I have Forward controls.
You could try the tallboyscycles.com floor board lowering kits or go for the Forwards.
The Accutronix were $700 from Boardtracker and the '16 SG has Jaybrake forwards from 2wheel.com for around $850
After trying many seats, I found the LePera Maverick with removable backrest to be the best seat for me, just finished a major cross country trip and was able to comfortably do 700 mile days.
This is an old thread but I'm curious if you still like this seat? I'm thinking about buying one but would love your feedback. Does the passenger sissy bar still fit on the bike? I have the lower sissy bar for the CVO backrest.
Thanks for the info!

Yes I still love the seat 20 thousand miles later. I can't tell you about the cvo sissy bar, but I have the standard height sissy bar and it fits fine.
And how does the passenger like it? My wife hates my seat after about 70 miles. Even though I had Mean City Cycles do their thing. I love my seat after they did it but she just gets too antsy back there.
