I have an Springer Classic, went to a -25 and loved the look. It was comfy for about the 1st 100 miles or so but then started to bother me.
Now I'm using a XBones seat and it is for me, the most comfortable seat I've ever ridden on. I bought an Air Hawk seat pad and think the XBones seat is more comfortable without it.

The sprung seat definitely makes the Crossbones. It's supposed to reflect the 1947 style, right? To me, the stock seat is very comfortable.....great padding and it sits higher than the 1925 style which is perfect for the taller riders. I'd hate sitting an inch or two lower. If I wanted a leather version, I'd look to the other 1940's style HD solo seat with the leather trim around the outside. Not sure I like that style with the chrome accent piece, but it depends on the look you want for your bike.

I have changed solo seats specifically for that .
My mind adjusted my acceleration over time for the stupid seat I had.. then when I take my wife out for a ride and put the 2 up seat I get the back support and boom I find myself flying !
So I got a seat from Ebay with a good rise up.
it also allowed me to lower the springs a bit.
this is the seat I have now
