Default Most comfortable SOLO

I have an 09 Ultra and I'm looking for greater comfort SOLO. My 2-up seat upgraded by Mean City Cycles is great.
I have a Vintage Wide Mustang solo (15k miles on it) that is slightly softer than a park bench.
Looking for the most comfortable SOLO vintage look seat available. I know I can have my Mustang modified and may do that, but just wanted information on what others have experienced, and which brand seems to be the ultimate.

I used an HD Brawler- is was good only for in town- shorter rides under an hour or so.

aside from the hardness, the low position stressed my hip joints esp when coming to a stop- extra effort to lift my leg from the hip to drop my boot to the ground.

I read a lot of good things about Corbin. So, I got a Classic Solo. They were right.

As far as vintage looking seats there may be others but the ones you can order from Corbin are really nice looking (with studs, stitching, etc.)...but the Mustang Vintage is pretty hard to beat for comfort.

THe only one I have used is the stock police solo seat with air bladder...very comfy for 600+/day rides.

That's what I'm trying to find out. Have you ridden on a Corbin? My Mustang is hard. Appreciate the feedback.

Mrs B and I have been riding on our Corbin for about 15 years now. If the solo is anything like as good, then my feedback is very positive!

I have a Corbin butt. I hate their customer service and have tried about every seat out there to find one as comfortable. I have a Corbin solo again... But I bought it used so as not give money directly to Corbin.
