Seats
2010 Ultra. First bike so I am not sure how comfy the seat is supposed to be. Hearing about the Mustang seat and have looked at the Road Zeppelin® Air Adjustable Seat and the Hammock Touring Seat on the HD site. Anyone have the Air adjustable or Hammock to compare with the Mustang.
Still have the stock seat on my 2008. You could always get a Mean City Cycles mod first and see how that does, however on the newer models they have less options due to the way the seat is built. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/mean-city-cycles-94/

I'm looking and have been for two years now, but not in a hurry. A seat is something you don't want to make a mistake on. I don't like the stock seat and will more than likely go with the Corbin. For now I use lamb skin pad from Aerostitch and it makes a big difference over the bare stock seat. It's cool in the summer and warm in winter.

I have a corbin dual touring on my 09 Streeglide and my neighbor has one on his 08 Ultra and we both love our seats. I spent 6 days 3000 miles on it this past July all mountain riding and about three days was well over 100 degrees outside and the seat was awesome, no complaints, I did during the extremely hot days wear the lycra shorts under my jeans which also really help when it extremely hot. To me there is no better seat than a corbin IMHO, it gives you great support and is firm, the HD seats are way to soft a cushy which initially might feel good but after 50 miles yuo a moving around trying to get comforitable. I have not used the Mustang seat but guys also really like those seats as well. Good Luck!

I don't know about the air adjustable, but Mustang makes a very comfortable seat. I had one on my last bike. The only thing about Mustang I didn't like was how it pushed me foward.
I just put a C & C Seat on my current ride. So far I really like it, but too soon for a final verdict with regard to comfort.

You can't go wrong with the zepplin. I have yet to see a hammock anywhere, but I do want to test one of those.

Something to think about is getting an Airhawk. I got one and love it. Just took a couple hours to figure out the right amount of air to have in it. Once I did I have never had to worry about being the slightest bit sore.

I must have missed something...What's the issue with the seats on the new models?
Edit- OK, saw the thread. So is the 2010 seat workable, or should I just get a Sundowner?
