Default Seat Options for Ultra Classic

So I got the new Ultra this weekend and after about 200 or so miles I've decided I don't like the stock seat at all. I had a Mustang seat on my last bike and I think it spoiled me. Has anyone put a Mustang seat on their Ultra or Classic? Which model and what did you think? Thanks for the help!

I just put a HD Road Zeppelin seat on my Ultra and rode 350 miles yesterday with no complaints by me, very comfortable. My g/f says she needs a few more rides. The seat was very comfy, but the riders seat is wider and she says it pushed her legs outward a little farther than she is used to. We are gonna try it a few more times and know for sure.

I have an 05 ultra and tried two seats. One was the one piece touring seat from Mustang. Good fit and comfort as usual from Mustang but also tried the tall boy seat for the ultra from HD. I'm about 6'2" and it gives you a little further back and up seating than the stock or the mustang seat. It's in the hd catalog. Seating area for rider is about 17" and I think the passenger has maybe 16...I don't remember. It is a very comfortable seat and my favorite even over the mustang.

I just installed the road zeppelin also on our 05 ultra. It went from a couch on wheels to a combination couch/la-z-boy on wheels. It trully is well worth the money. My wife says she was comfortable on the stock seat, but now says the zep is by far more comfortable. We are planning some long distance trips this year and are looking forward to the extreme comfort of the zeppelin seat.
