Default softail seats

I'm thinking about putting a regular softail seat on my crossbones. What is a good seat for a long haul without getting the burning sensation in your a$$ or your tail bone hurting after 30-40 miles of straight riding? Also, the Sundowner deep bucket seat that Harley has out, has got my attention. Anybody have any experience with the sundowner deep bucket? Thanks guys

I own a sundowner seat, best seat for comfort, maybe not the best for looks.

my other seat is sidekick, which is almost as cozy

When i ride two up (or on long solo rides), i put the stock FXSTC seat on: it's very comfy, for rider and passenger.

I have the sundowner deep bucket on my Fat Boy and love it for comfort. Not the best looking seat, but not that bad looking either. try one out if you can and see what you think.

It's pricey, but I love my Corbin Gunfighter with the backrest option. I've done 400 miles only stopping for gas with no azzburn.

The most comfortable seat I use, and best looking for my money too, is my LePera Silhouette solo with gel...my happy *** can stay in the saddle all day, no problems...

lol, yeah, sry to hijack. but yeah, thats a shovel back there. I've got four bikes, I'm lucky enough that my wife understands my obsession...I've got no money either, I'm just a fireman, I just collect where I can..

1951 FL Pan
1979 FXS Low Rider
05' Night train
06' Superglide

I don't have any great shots of the shovel, it's been leakin tranny oil lately, so I gotta do the mainseal soon. I think I'm gonna get those mags chromed sometime too.
