Default Perfect Seat Quest Here

2005 Fatboy here. I have always been on a quest of getting the perfect seat. Too old for a constant sore butt. I started with the stock seat, of course and went to the HD Sundowner seat. Didn't like that because it was worse than the stock. Am now on the Mustang Vintage Wide. It's OK, but not very comfortable on the back and upper butt. Has anyone out there had a similar journey through various seats and ended up with the "perfect" seat? Thanks for the help.

I have had saddleman seats . really liked them , they are jel filled . Always tough to find the right seat, everbody had different butts . The back part of mustangs always hit my low back in a way thay hurt me too . I think you will like the saddleman .

Man...talk about theendless quest Fatbernie!

I like Corbin...a little hard at first, but breaks in well. But that's just me! There are way too many variables involved to simply say..."This seat or that seat is the best!"

Good luck!

Steve
