The seat is good for 600 mile days end on end running tank to tank.

saddlemen explorer seat
I have just completed 300 miles ( 2- 150 mile rides) on a new Explorer seat. I find the seat very comfortable and my experience shows that I have moved closer to handlebars by about 1/2 to 1 inch and I seem to be sitting higher on the seat. I think I am looking over the windshield an inch more than before the seat went on the bike. It's a keeper in my opinion.

Have the Explorer seat on my RK.
You can have the seat "custom" fitted to your needs at no extra cost. Mine is about 1/2 inch thinner. I even sent mine back within the 1st year for a re-fitting, at no cost. Their customer service isn't as good as it once was but its acceptable. When a fellow named Cookie was there, he would take care of you. The next guy was an a-hole.
As for comfort, its Ok but not great. Love the looks though.
If you get one, get it with the riders backrest as it makes a world of difference.

When the road sofa finally got here, it was HUGE. I thought my wife would love it. We went on a 600 mile trip and she said that she was not any more comfortable than with the sundowner and she sat at least 3 or 4 inches higher in the wind on the road sofa.
Service was great with saddleman though. They took the seat back and gave me most of my money back. They kept a $75 re-stocking fee and I was out shipping both ways, but still better than trying to sell that seat myself.
