Default 2010 Ultra seat options

My Dad just bought a 2010 Ultra and he loves the bike, but hates the seat. Will it get more comfortable as it breaks in, or does he need to start looking at an aftermarket seat? He had a Mustang seat on his '05 RK and loved it. What seat do you have on your 2010 Ultra and how do you like it? Also, how does your passenger like the seat?

Thanks for the help

The Ultra seats suck, and NO, they don't get more comfortable. I just ordered the new Mustang super touring seat. I will post when I see how it is!

I know this sounds funny but my past Ultras needed seat work immediately.My 2010 Tri-Gli has a great stock seat.If I needed seat change I would first go with Mean City,Mustang next,then Corbin.Just free advice.

First; which 2010 seat does he have? The newest version has the word "low" stamped into the bottom. Next question is what doesn't he like about it? I have a new "low" seat on my 09 Ultra and it feels pretty good now that I have about 3K on it. I could see sending it to Mean City Cycle for some better foam, but really its pretty good.

Does the new seat sit you lower to the ground?

I used the stock seat on my 2010 Limited for the first 3k miles - it won't get any better. I bought the Hammock seat and it's great.
