Default Replace seat

Hey guys, I'm looking to replace the stock FLHX seat I've been looking at Corbin / Mustang seats but was wondering what maybe the most comfortable.

I replaced my stock seat at Bike Week with an Ultimate 3 pc. setup. I've put about 3,000 miles on it and I absolutely love it! I took a friend for a 180 mile ride yesterday and she commented on how comfy the passenger seat was. Good people to work with.

You may want to give MeanCity Cycle a call, and talk with Allan.......
its a toll free call and his modifications could be the 'most comfortable',
and save you some cash in the process.

I recently bought a Corbin, and I'm still not sure about it. It is very hard, and I do still get some pain on longer rides. I've been told it takes a good 1500 miles to get used to it, so I'm not giving up on it yet. I had a Mustang on my last bike, it was a fantastic seat. I went Corbin this time for looks, and lots of folks on the form gave it great reviews.

I was able to pick up a used one from a forum member for a great price. Had I bought a new one, I would be pretty disappointed in price vs comfort so far.

Good luck with you purchase, seats are a tough buy, because you really cant give them a good test before you buy them.

I'll say it again & again - three simple words..."Mean City Cycles." 1/3 the cost of replacement & 100x the comfort & quality. Do yourself a favor & give them a call!

Between the two, I'd pick the Mustang every time. I do not like Corbin seats at all. I don't like the way they look and I do not think they are comfortable. Corbins are just a tick better than stock for me. Some swear by them, but that won't be me. The Mustang seats are much more to my liking. Having said that, a Danny Gray is the most comfortable seat I've ever had.
