Default Help with seat selection for '08 FatBoy

I'm looking to get a new seat for my '08 Fatty. I currently have the tall boy seat from HD, and it's really not all that comfortable after the first 40 minutes or so. I'm 6'5" and about 350lbs, so I would like to get something with a little more butt room.

I have been looking at both the Mustang Vintage Wide Solo with backrest and the Danny Gray Big Seat, and can't decide between the two. Any larger guys have any experience with these seats, and maybe have an opinion on which is better?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I had this Mustang seat on a Honda VTX 1300 - I could stay in the saddle all day. http://www.mustangseats.com/honda/vt...300_75801.html

my riding budy just put this on his '07 SoftTail Standard - he LOVES it

btw: I'm 6ft and 235lbs.

I have a friend who has a LePera Sanora on his NT and it really is a good looking seat and he says
he can ride all day long. I just ordered the same seat for my 08 fatboy, should be here around the 14th of march.
