Default Just got back...

from a trip with the wife crom Corpus Christi to Columbus Ga, on my '02 Fatboy, and I really need to know what is the most comfortable seat that will fit on that bike because the stock seat was brutal to me and excruciating to the wife on back.

Any tips would be great thank you in advance.

I just did a 2500 mile round trip to Florida, and my mustang was great.

if your worried about the comfort that much look around ... there are some companys that custom make seats per the rider .they form the seat to fit what you want for comfort ... anything with the jell would be a good start ..

Just did 4000 mile ride from S.E. Arizona to Washington state with no problems on a Mustang and I absolutely would not have done it on the stock seat.

The OL and I regularly do 300-400 mile day rides with mustang seats. No issues.

They make a good seat.
