Have your seat redone by Allen @ MeanCityCyles, one of the sponsors here on the forum. He did mine back in Feb. Lowered it about 2" and added memory foam for about a third of the cost of a new seat. Before that I would ride about 150 miles and my back was hurting, use to take advil before I would even start riding. Rode 1500 miles 2weeks ago 500 one day 400 the next, then 600 3 days later. No more back pain and no advil at all . All this in 104+ degrees in Missouri and Tennesse heading to NC. I was lucky, he only lives about 30 minuites from me, so I was able to take mine to him.

Have - and like - a LePera on mine...... Sorrento model. Wife likes it too. Good blend form/function. Keeps a low profile look of bike. They have a Monterey model that's simlar - but bigger.
Recently did 6 day ride - np problems for either of us.

I've had both Mustangs & Corbins & I (& my behind) prefer the firmness of Corbin. The Mustang feels 'cushier' & better at first, but the Corbin wins out easily after a few hundred miles. It doesn't crowd my ***** either...but like stated above, no one seat suits/fits everybody.

I just bought the Sundowner for my RK and am very happy with it. I haven't taken it on a long ride since I just got it yesterday but can definitely feel the difference from the stock. The seat is much firmer and you sit in it as opposed to on top on it. The seat was $325 retail. I ordered it from Zanottis and paid $253 with shipping and had it 2 days after I placed the order. I decided to go with the Sundowner based on price and figured if I didn't like it I'd sell it. Really happy with the purchase and better than spending $600-$800 on the Corbin.
