I think the studs and leather choncho's add to the looks of most bikes.

To be honest, I haven't made up my mind on it. I kind of like it, kind of don't. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Mine's similar, I really like it, but am torn between it and my solo Saddleman Gel. seat. The Saddleman sits me back and lower, very comfortable, but lacks the "Look" I'm searching for.

Agreed on the "look." But if this is more comfortable, I'll stick with it. A 6 hour ride with several breaks to the Black Hills on the Corbin and I was a hurtin unit.

I don't know man, my own personal choice would be for those seats on FL fronts with wide tires , 50's style , your bike (like mine) with the wide glides, and 21" fronts, is more of a throwback to the 70's, King/Queen is an option, skinny slim is another and of course my favorite is the skinny springer seats.
But , sometimes those things that does not fit together usually, work together well, what do I know .

Again, I can't argue with you on the look aspect. But if I'm not comfortable, I'm not going to ride as much, and I want to ride. I've got a Mustang Regal Duke, that is more of the classic look I used on trip sitting in the garage for the same reason. Now a Corbin. Hoping the width of this one is the difference maker.

You gotta be comfortable no doubt do not get me wrong at all man.
This is my lepera Plush I use with the wife, it is by far the most 'lush' comfortable seat I have

MM, what was it you didn't like about the Regal Duke? The width? I'm asking because I have tried so many seats over the last few years I'm not sure what I like. I do still have the Regal Duke and remember it being the most comfortable one I've had but it doesn't have the look I like. haha. I know I didn't like the Lepera and Corbin I tried out. Gets expensive too. I think I will just go for comfort and screw the good looks! lol. I really like the 09 OEM Fatboy seats. I have two of them but they seem too slick; I seem to move around on them in turns. Might just be my imagination.

Don't get Me wrong. Both My solo seats are great, the Mustang is great and wide (16") But the Saddleman has the gel, so it's lower.
