Default Most comfy seat?

My stock seat doesn't even come close. With an Airhawk pad it is almost not bad.

Time to get a better seat

I am a big guy, 6', 265 lbs.

I don't want to spend $1300 on a Day Long seat. (sigh)

I am not looking for a "hard seat that has to break in...

I am thinking Saddleman or Mustang, probabbly with a back rest... Have any of you owned both seats? If so how do they compare to each other?

I am with ya. I am seriously considering a c&c sport touring with backrest. These guys have a lot of great feedback and customer service sounds like it is top notch. Prices on website don't seem too bad either. Good luck with your search.

I bought an UC seat for my '08.... Called MCC and explained
where the 'hot spot' was and just how uncomfortable the seat was.
I was in agony after 200 miles......

After talking with the boys at MCC, I sent my seat in.... Now a 500 / 600
mile lunch-ride is effortless.

Its a toll free call..... Their work on seats works for most, but not all.
I'm a happy customer of Allen and his crew.

I know I can't help you......I have wasted way too much money on seats and still have not found the perfect one........I don't think it exists, at least for me.

I'll be lookin' real hard at the H-D Hammock seat. It's the kind they put on Ultra CVO's. $500 or $800 heated.
