I'm needing a seat (perhaps two seats) for my 2013 Breakout. The stock seat is way too uncomfortable for any lengthy rides.
I know a lot of you have experimented with different seats so I'm coming to you for recommendations. Please chime in on Solo Seats and 2-up. Post photos if available.
I can tell you one that don't work...Mustang Wide Tripper solo.....just returned from a 2500 mile trip north and my wife actually got a blister from the seams on this seat.....its was on her Slim....these bikes are hard to find seats for because the rear section is so narrow....you might have to look into a rebuilder.....Good Luck at any rate!
I used to have a solo seat for my Dyna that had been memory-foamed by Mean City Cycles. It was awesome, my fanny was very very happy. Right now I'm thinking about having Corbin do a custom seat for me, but we are talking real $. For the money Mean City is kinda hard to beat.

Interesting - different seats for different butts, I guess. While I have not tried this particular Mustang seat, I have been very pleased with every Mustang I bought for a variety of bikes, including a solo seat fro a '16 Softail Slim.
I have a custom all-leather Le Pera Bare Bones on my 17 Slim. I can ride on it for hours with zero problems (and I have a really bad back). The only reason I need to stop when riding on it is either to get gas, or to stretch out my legs a bit.
A lot of people do not like Bare Bones seats, but this is the second bike Ive had a BB on, and I love them.
I have a Bare Bones (without gel) on my Heritage Classic, and after the first day of riding, the seat is more comfortable than stock for me. But it won't be as comfortable as their touring seats, but I can't cover up any more of my bike!! lol
