I could use some help from you guys.....got a 2011 Superlow and love the bike. What I don't love is the seat. I have a bad back (arthritis) and the seat is not only low (I have plenty of room between me and the seat when standing), but pretty stiff.....I have read that there are replacement seats available (like thousands), but have no clue which may work best for my particular situation. Some of the names include: Saddleman, Mustang, LePera...I am sure there are Harley seats as well....
I have a bad back as well. I bought a mustang regal seat for my bike and i have never been happier. Picture attached. The little up turn does wonders for my lower back on long trips.
Very happy with my Corbin. They're on the expensive side, but very comfortable. Could definitely help reduce your back pain from riding. I certainly noticed less fatigue on the long trips as compared to the narrow seat (H-D Sidekick seat, I believe) I used previously. Good luck.
Having just switched to a Mustang Wide Touring seat on my 1200 - I heartily recommend it. The design has much better back support even without a driver backrest.
It's just a much better seat than the stock one all around.

+1 I love my mustang seat! It's a night and day difference over the stock one and I couldn't be happier.
Running a Sundowner and had MeanCityCycles.com add some memory foam and it's pretty nice. I would also suggest getting longer shocks to help smooth out those bumps in the road. The stocks on your superlow are too short to soak up much more than a pebble without transferring it directly to you aching back. Get something at least 12.5" long and never look back.
I'm in the market for a seat and want the mustang vintage or the vintage wide. I'm afraid the vintage wide might look a little too big&wide for my 883 with 3.3 tank. Anyone running this setup? got any pics or comments.
