Thanks for all your advise and suggestions.
I made my mind in a way. I am just waiting for the response of Chuck from C&C and Sergio from Corbin.
But, I guess I'm leaning towards C&C specially that they will deliver faster & Chuck is really helpful.

+1 for the Corbin Classic Solo. I just returned from a trip from north metro Atlanta to The Villages in Florida (425 miles each way) and felt as comfortable when I got off the bike as I did during the first 10 miles--zero monkey butt, no squirming EVER. In the 50K miles I've had my bike, I've never used a rider backrest and, thankfully, have zero back problems.

Before this trip, I probably had fewer than 500 miles on the seat, so this was my first extended trip and the seat passed in flying colors.

solo seat

i tried a corbin for awhile and could not get rid of it fast enough! If you dont have back and butt trouble you will after the corbin. Id rather ride a concrete block. Thats just my opinion.

For those of us who have had back surgery, we would much rather sit on a hard surface than a soft mushy one. I love my Corbin Classic Solo with back rest. PLUS, they give military a 10% discount!

I'm loving my C&C solo with backrest. It's very firm, but VERY comfortable to me. If you want a squishy feeling seat, this ain't it. Chuck is a great guy to deal with, and he gives a 10% discount to forum members.

I have had Mustangs,C&C,Stock,Corbin,and even the Sundowner,but hands down the best seat I found was the Ultimate. They are a bit expensive but I too have had three low back surgeries,and I have pins,rods,and screws in my lower back,and this seat is well worth the extra money.

That's a fact. One lower back surgery, and two neck surgeries, and I'm very particular about what I sit on. I had a Mustang, and while it was cushy, it put me in the wrong position, and that's crucial to being comfortable. My Corbin sits me just right, and the firm cushioning seems perfect for long-ride comfort.

I had a back-rest with my Mustang, but it made me a little claustrophobic. I wouldn't want anything that would get in the way of a hasty exit, if the need arose.
