Default which seat for my 2011 SG?

I'm looking to sit a little lower in the seat and add a backrest. Thought about getting a Sundowner because that was on my old Heritage, but not sure thats the route I should go? I'm 6', 170lbs...and have about 32 inch inseam. Any advice out there on a seat that I should look at?

Thanks for any help!!

Do what I did and call C&C Seats. Chuck and Chuey will make you a great seat! Top quality, superb craftsmanship, fairly priced. I have the leather SportTourer with matching rider backrest with custom stitching. They even recovered my stock passenger backrest to match. Mention HDForums and get 10% discount.

No doubt C&C makes a great seat......just from my experience though..after 4 or 5 hours the seat gets uncomfortable.....With my Corbin I could ride all day without a problem..so I just ordered another Corbin. Everybody is different.....give C&C a try if you want--fine product and the service is second to none.

Another vote C&C Seats! Great looks, top notch quality & customer service! 500 mile days are no problem here, 800 once but that was about the limit for my broken down, old, fat a$$! Like mjb said, everyone is different. I never could get use to my rock hard Corbin and got rid of it after 18,000 or so miles.

I WAS a die-hard Corbin fanatic. Still have my Gunfighter&Lady on my 1999 FXR2. Great saddle and could ride forever on it. Everybody says they are hard and uncomfortable but I disagree. Wanted another one for my 2010 StreetGlide but when I called to order one with some custom fitting the answer I got was, "Sorry, you get what you get and nothing special can be done." Thats when I started shopping for an alternative. Stumbled onto C&C reading here on the Forum. Called them and spoke to Chuck several times and finally ordered my SportTourer. Every bit as good a saddle as any Corbin I have ever seen. Customer service is absolutely AAA+++ with C&C. Turnaround was less than two weeks for a custom stitched leather saddle with backrest. I am now a die-hard C&C fan. I dont think you can find a better saddle today at the same price. Corbin is NOT the same company anymore and their service pretty much shows how far they have fallen from the top. Just sayin......

Add another vote for C&C seats.
Just got a nice solo seat with gel insert and white stitching to match my bike.

Dave at C&C was awesome to work with and answered all my stupid questions.

You can't got wrong with C&C and yes you will get a 10% discount if you mention that you are a memeber of HDForums.
