Default Most comfortable solo seat?

I know all opinions are going to vary. But I'm willing to hear them all out. I have the mustang solo now. It's decent however after riding an hour or so I start to squirm. What is the most comfortable solo seat for longer rides? Thanks for any input.
Mike

Unfortunately, Everyone is different, on the back side, and it's a person to person, favorite seat. I don't have the solo, but the Corbin seat has been pretty good for me, when it gets a little uncomfortable, i just move a tad bit, and it feels better instantly. I don't think it's as hard as some people claim. Iv'e had quite a few seat's, think im staying with this one, Corbin Dual tour, they have a place in FLA.

Don't buy a new seat, get your seat modified Mean City Cycles. Great work, fair pricing.

I'm a 150 to 200 mile rider, 155lbs, the CVO seat is comfortable for those circumstances.

Haven't ridden much farther than 250 miles at a time and for me that is about the limit, not the seat, me, although probably the seat too.

Default CVO Seat

The CVO seat has done me well, now approaching 50,000 miles on my 2014. I do squirm at the end of a long day of riding though. We usually do 300-400 a day on the longer tours.

Not on bike in picture though...

I put a sprung police seat on my SGS, and it's wonderful, along with 13" shocks.
You need long legs though.

I agree with "Jack the lad", I'm running a sprung Police Bike Seat on both my RGU and my Police bike. I love it. I have a Mean City Cycles customized seat also. I like that one but with longer legs the PB seat with a Mustang rear solo works the best so far. With the stock style it feels like I'm sitting in the bike. With the PB seat higher and further back

I tried the Mustang solo seat but it pushed me more forward and up higher than the stock seat despite it being advertised as sitting the driver back and down.
I bought a Corbin solo Classic and it put me where it was advertised it would. For the long haul rides of 600+ I add the bead rider seat cover with a towel under it.

I've done 300+ on it and I'm happy with it. The truth is if you put on a lot of miles in a day, your *** is going to hurt no matter what seat your using. It's all in your tolerance level, not the seat. JMHO.
