Default Good Seat

Any suggestions on a good seat without breaking the bank? I have a 03 FLHTI and the stock seat is not what it use to be, its alright, but on a long ride, the old hine parts start to talk.

Depending upon your budget and how much your *** is worth to you, I have always found great comfort on my Mustang seats. I also have the Mustang passenger backrest. Notice the longer armrests for mama.
