Default Softail Slim Seat Suggestions

I've got a '15 Slim with the stock seat on it still. I can ride about half an hour before my rear end is screaming at me. I'm looking at taking a 600 mile trip in a month so the stock seat has got to go. Looking for suggestions from the peanut gallery. I'm a fairly big dude so I need something decent for a long haul. I've been looking at Corbin as that seems to be a favorite. Love to hear some other ideas though. Thanks in advance.

I took a 3000 mile trip this summer on this Harley seat. Fine for solo touring. If you occasionally go two up, this is great.

Mustang. Love mine. When I first got the bike and spent some time on it, it didn't take long before I was regretting the Slim. Seat and bars fixed that. But yea...Mustang.

I had my stock seat recovered and a gel pad inserted. So Much better and I actually prefer it to the Sundowner 2 up seat I also have for when I have a passenger in my plans. Wish I had the Sundowner gelled up when I had it re upholstered. Oh well. Had them done in vinyl might opt for some leather next time.

I ride a slim. I couldn't go but an hour or so on my stock seat before I started feeling it. I dropped 155$ and picked up a Softail Deluxe seat which has been awesome, but it doesn't mount on a Slim by default so some tooling is required.

I used to have a Mustang w/backrest on my Sporty. I LOVED that seat, but didn't want to drop the $$$ just yet on the seat as I have other things I wanted to do first. I'll eventually go back to Mustang.

I went with the MoCo sprung saddle. I was worried sick that I'd gone for looks instead of comfort. Turns out its the best seat I've had, and this is Harley #14.
