Question Seating Options For Fatboy

I am looking for a way to improve butt pain on 4-500 mile rides. I have a 2004 FatBoy with a stock seat. I am a heavy guy and looking for aftermarket suggestions? Anybody got a suggestion? Thanks

I have asundowner and it is hands down better than the stock fatboy seat. I can ride a few hundred miles without but burn.

I'm a heavy guy also and was looking for a better seat than the stock one. I have an '06 Fatboy and put a Sundowner on it. I like the Sundowner because it gave me a little more support for my lower back. It is comfortable but I do on occasion get the "old butt burn". Just a tip - If I'm going on a long ride I sometimes dust the underside of the jewels with Goldbond powder. This helps a lot.

I put a Mustang seat on my '03 and really liked it. It's firmer but I've found that to be much better. The real selling point 'though was that my wife loved it...
Now, if she hadn't sat on that Ultra I'd still have that bike.

I have a corbin gel, the seat is lower and it gives you more back support,it also has
a removable back rest for those 700 mile rides. But that is just me
