Default Looking for a seat

Looking for a two up seat for my 15 SGS. Something that's good for long rides but doesn't look like a couch on the bike. Is there anything out there.

Ultimate seats has a pretty nice solo that is probably the most comfortable seat i ever sat on. I was actually going to buy another one for my 16, but right now i am using the mustang solo and passenger pillion. On my 16 I went through 6 seats and still am not 100 percent happy. Seats for me are just a pain in the ***, but i am tired of dropping 700 each time i see something new that might work for me. I am like you in regards to wanting a seat i can put 6hrs into but still look good doing it. I hate those tremendously wide school bus seats. On a trip last year I got so uncomfortable with my danny gray seat on i had to stop and buy a pro pad gel seat pad to throw on top of it. Once we got to our destination i took it rite off.

Good advice, but make sure you ride a 100 miles or so to see if the seat is right for you before buying it.Another solution is to have stock seat reworked to your specs.Go on Mean City Cycles website and check out their services.

Corbin solo classic is super comfy and doesn't look like a couch. Just put on the pillion when needed.

I waste lots of money on aftermarket seats...

then found out about Mean City...they do excellent work at a fair price.
