CC solo is good for day rides. However, hd sundowner is even better. Probably not what you want for looks. Style over function.

I use the Airhawk 2 medium cushion on my stock seat, I have found nothing better. About $70 on Amazon.

I agree 100%, it you're looking for comfort Ultimate seat is the way to go.

I tried three other big name seats before the Ultimate, others look cooler but they don't as comfortable.

I keep an air cushion from bikecushion.com on my Bare Bones and it transforms it from bar hopper to a "real" seat. But when going on really long rides, I throw on the Mustang wide vintage solo with backrest. Can ride all day with that one on.
