I've been using my new C&C solo for a few weeks now and about 300 miles. Its is firm but comfortable as others have stated. I was just wondering how long it takes to break in? or does it? Does it get any softer over time?
That's why I got rid of my C&C. They do awesome work but it was just too hard for my butt. Even after 1000 miles.
I went with the HD Low Profile Touring seat and it's very comfortable. No break in time needed.
Think mine took 500-1000 miles to break in. Felt much better but was still a bit uncomfortable on a long ride and I was shifting around every couple minutes. Considered looking around for another seat, but after another 1k miles or so I forgot about it and can ride a few hours without shifting around in the saddle. So my experience, 500-1000 miles for initial break in, 2000-3000 miles until it really breaks in like a glove and I love it
I've owned C&C, Mustang, Ultimate, all excellent products.
This is the first I've read about "breaking in". All of those seats felt fine right off the bat, and didn't get worse, or more comfy after usage.
Still the best is my cheap, second hand Harley Sundowner, bliss!
I have 2 C&C Wide solos, my 2 year old seat is definitely broke in and very comfortable. I have another that is about 2 months old with about 700 miles, it hasn't matched the old one yet.
