Default most comfortable seat?

Hello, can anybody please help? I ride an 07 roadking, i`m having a hell of a time choosing a comfortable touring seat that looks good and is comfy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. P.S. anybody running a mustang seat #75464?

I had an 07 Road King Classic. Hated the stock seat. Put on a Sundowner solo. 400 mile days were no problem.

I've only had the 3 seats on my RK; Stock, HD custom low profile, and the sundowner. IMO, the sundowner is the way to go.

I will always ride a Mustang, unless I can afford a custom made from saddleman or another of those who design the seat around the individual. I regularly complete IBA rides on a Mustang seat.

I was told long ago by an old biker. You can either have a comfortable ugly seat or an uncomfortable nice looking seat. I have found that axiom to be true to this day.

Mean City Cycles seat rebuild is the only way to go.

I've had 3 seats and all HD's. The Sundowner is the winner. I have done a 1K Iron Butt, and multiple 3K 2 up trips with the Sundowner and no complaints from me or my wife.

I put an HD Comfort Stitch on my 99 RK. It is super comfortable. It could be better but for the price its one hell of an improvement over what they offered on the 99. They can be had on ebay for around $100
