that's kind of a loaded question waiting for about 3000 responses so I'll start it off. LOL

IMHO, Mustang makes the best seat for touring, comfort wise, and looks wise. I've owned the stock HD seat, the badlander, the corbin, a custom padded seat, and the mustang. they are ALL quite different in their fit between the thighs. (get your mind out the gutter)

good luck on your choice...

Good luck, everyone's rear is different. I don't see what type of bike you have or any of your present seat discomforts. I'm bigger and taller than the average bear and needed to move back from the tank so I didn't rub the paint off. With a 2008 Electra Glide Classic my only option was a Harley Tall boy seat. I guess Harley really messed up the seat pan design on '08 and even worse on the '09. This seat moved me back great and reduced leg cramping. I also installed some floorboard extenders. However my rear would hurt after an hour or so and I won't mention the wifes displeasure. Since the tall boy seat won't allow for a backrest I had to get Mean City to pile on the padding. A little snowy out so I haven't gotten to try it yet. Regardless of your choice it will cost some crazy money to "hopefully" get something that works.

Good luck.
