Seats...2 cents welcome
Contrary to most, I like the stock seat (2015 FLHXS). But...last couple long rides I'm feeling like the seat is breaking down, or flimsy and my **** is not supported. I'm looking at a seat maybe a little more firm or support. Problem is you can't test ride too many after markets.
What aftermarket seat closely resembles stock, but maybe a little more firm or structure?
I DO NOT want to change riding positions...def not any further back.
Was looking at Le Pera, Corbin, C&C. I like to tour. I don't like Mustang seats at all.
Thanks for input.

One option, which would not change your riding position which you enjoy, is to cut out the foam in your seat to match a gel insert. If not, it probably won't be any worse. But the real way to go may be to have your seat redone by a professional. They should be able to work with you on your riding position and also improve your time in the saddle. Different foams make a world of difference. Good luck.

I also recommend Mean City Cycles. If you make an appt. you can ride your bike in and they can redo your seat in about an hour or less.

I want a Corbin but I'm worried about it changing my ride position. Website claims it may move you back some, but may not.
