Default Which seat to get?

Gonna replace the seat on my 07 FLHTC. Considering Danny Gray Long Haul Two Up, Corbin Dual Touring and maybe the Roadking or Roadglide seat. I'v had Mustang and was not that happy so not considering them. Any feedback appreciated. Probably go with a backrest also.

I have the corbin dual tourer on my VTX. Although it is a good seat it doesn't compare to comfort of my stock seat has after mean city cycles redone it.
Never used a Danny Gray seat so I can not commit.

Remember Corbins are VERY firm - bordering on hard, but many people find this comfortable due to how weight is distributed and relieves hot spots that lead to numbness, etc.

Don't know about Danny Grey but I've had a few Corbins and liked them alot.

Seats are hard to give advice on. One person's opinion is a seat is wonderful and another will say it's a torture contraption. Hard to believe but that's how much opinions vary ref seats.

I have run Corbins on just about all my bikes and wouldn't buy any thing else. Great quality, choice of multiple colors & seating material & stitch patterns, leather (not vinyl). They are firm but that firmness allows you to ride all day and not have a sore butt. Nice backrest to match seat. I have the Classic Solo with touring pillion for when mama decides to ride.

I love the Corbin Dual Tour after I've tried many others.

I know, its very subjective. I'll hafta look around a bit. Mustang has a policy if you order directly from them you can send it back within 10 days, maybe the others have something like that.

Thumbs up touring seats

Most any good quality touring seat should do good for you .For me the Mustang 1 pc. Ultra style seat works well.

Have you checked out the C&C? I just ordered one today. Seems like a lot of people on this and other forums like them a lot for their comfort.

I have a C&C 2-up leather seat that fits the FLHTC with blue flame stitching. The seat has little to no use on it. PM me if you are interested.
