Default comfortable solo for electra glide

Does anyone out there have experience with a solo seat for a 2006 Electra Glide? I wonder whether Corbin, Danny Gray or Saddlemen is:

a. one more comfortable than the others
b. one better made than the others
c. fits the bike better than the others.

Thanks.

I used the Sundowner and Mustang solos and found them both to be comfortable. The Sundowner looked a bit too bulky for my taste, but was a little more comfortable than the Mustang. The Mustang was my favored choice: good looks, and good all-day comfort. Here's mine on a former Road King, but applications are made for the Glide as well.

We've got two solo seats available for the '06 FLH's.

Our more popular would be the Classic Solo, and the other our more sleek low profile seat, the Hollywood Solo.

I have and LOVE the Corbin Classic Solo. It is actually the Close Solo but still a Corbin solo. The seat is very comfortable.

I had a Corbin solo on my 99 ultra and loved it.

Me too. Been on plenty of 500 mile plus trips with it. They are too hard for some.

Got a Corbin Classic Solo. 14K now, and would not trade it for anything. It will seem a little hard at first, but will form as you ride. On a long trip you can adjust your seating position, and not worry about hot-spots on your backside.
