Default Cant decide which solo seat

I'm trying to decide which solo touring seat to order. I have been considering the HD Sundowner, Mustang, and Corbin. I do not want to be any closer to the bars and I dont want my **** to ache after an hour. I know there are tons of threads about this on here but humor me for this one time any help me decide.

Try the solo from a cop bike. They ride all day long with no probs. They have an air blatter the seat sets on, very comfy. I can ride 600 miles a day no probs. See my sig.

There not the purtiest thing around, but they work. Ebay is full of them for just a couple hundred bux, some less.

Poppycock and boulderdash. I have tried every brand, and C&C is by far the best for comfort & quality.

Love my C&C solo. No experience with corbin or mustang but I did have a Sundowner Solo. Not very comfortable for long rides. Had to sell it.

I use a Mustang solo with built in backrest. It's adjustable back and forth and very comfortable. Bought the wide rear pilion as well and my wife likes it better than the Sundowner

Proof positive that everyones butt is different. C&C seats comfortable next to a mustang or sundowner? Ahh. Nope. Not here anyway.

I have the Sundowner. I love the comfort for long rides but the down side is there is no way to have a backrest.
