You might check out Mustangs. I think they are finally making a good looking comfortable seat. I recently bought a HD Brawler, it just takes some getting used to. You don't break it in, It breaks you in!!!

Mustang looks great,
I have the Studded (but not the wide one).

It is great, comfortable for hours and hours

I think the most comfortable is the Mustang. Most uncomfortable the LePera Bare Bones.
I have one of each but ride the Bare Bones, cause it looks really good.

I just can't find enough good things to say about my factory seat on my Softail Custom.

Ain't that the truth...I've been running a LePera Silhouette with gel this year, and I can stay in the saddle all day, no problem...get a lot of compliments on the looks too...
