Trial and error on my part with a lot of sunk cash selling barely used seats. I ended up going with a Mustang Super Touring Solo with the backrest for my Road King. I've tried about a half a dozen seats and since my rides are getting longer I succumbed to the fact that I wanted function and comfort over looks. It did raise me up a bit more than I wanted but when you're in the saddle for 8-12 hours a day with short breaks for fuel and beverage, I needed comfort. I did consider Corbin but the feedback I read seemed evenly split, love it or hate it and I wasn't willing to lose a bunch of money if I didn't like it. Plus it seems like their quality and support may be waining based on feedback on these forums.
One thing I did realize, Amazon will take seats back for a full refund and no return shipping. Toward the end of my search, I started using them and saved a ton of money in my search. Good luck.

Trial and error. Over the years and multiple different rides I tried a lot of seats, and spent a lot of money. Maybe I got lucky. For me the Corbin solo seats are unmatched and I had a Russel at one time. Now I don’t even try anything else. I just buy a Corbin and I’ve had one on five different bike. Just works for me

I had made a few calls to Corbin a few times to ask a few questions only to be put on hold for quite some time.

My wife rides with me often so that’s an issue. I did find out that those detachable are not all the same, the one I had was a bit forward and crowded the passenger. I went to the dealer and the HD one (which I thought I had) was 2 1/2” farther back. I bought that one and it made a big difference in rider comfort.
