I put 17 inch wide mustang solo seats on my last 2 bikes and have been really happy with them. The bikes were '09 FXDC and '10 FLHR, so I don't know if Mustang makes the same ones for your bike, but I highly recommend one if they do. I did talk to the Mustang reps at Biketoberfest and they recommended the 17" wide seats over the 15" ones. Sorry, but I don't have any experience with the other brands you mentioned. If it helps, I'm 5'10" and about 170 pounds and found the Mustangs to be really comfortable. I got the model with rider backrest for the Road King, and I think it was definately worth the extra cost.

I have a Mustang + backrest on my RKC and am very happy with it. I found the best price at M&M Cycles....or maybe they'll give you a discount at the shop?
