i have a 2010 s/g.. the stock seat sux. i haveacorbin rumble seat i like the way it sets me back and look real good,just not great on a long ride with a pass.im have a sundowner its its ok might be a lil better with a back rest.for a long ride im thin built 511
looks good and thanks..will check them out..hopfully i can find a seat that looks good and works well on a long ride.seens like you cant have both lol,i like the look of the corbin rumble seat and feel for a short ride but on a long ride it not great.i would love just to have one seat to make me happy
The sundowner is the best I've tried out of 4. I had an ultimate on a VTX and it was great, but judging from the pics on their web site it doesn't look to good on the SG.
ya not to crazy about the look,but im starting to realize if its gonna work ill have to deal with it.the sundowner seems ok,im thinkin a need a drivers back rest.id prob. just sell the corbin.i like the utimate gives you a 14 day try out.
I've had them all: stock seat, Tallboy seat with gel and foam mods, Mustang (previous bike), Corbin and Russell Day Long.
The Corbin was good, but my wife didn't like it, and I still got butt burn after 400 miles.
I got my Russell Day Long about six weeks ago, and if you're looking for long distance comfort, this is the best seat I've ever had. They custom make it for you (you send in pics of you sitting on the bike), and it fit perfectly.
If you're looking for a sleek, low profile seat, this ain't it. But if comfort is your priority, give it a try.
The downside is that you have to send in your old seat, and they build it from the pan up. So you're without a seat for a while even though you don't send it in until the production date. They aren't cheap either, but the best usually isn't.
