RE: Best seat for my '05 Road King Classic
If you want to cruise up to Bakersfield, I have a Corbin I took off my Road King before I traded it in you can try on your bike for a day - or I'll sell it to you for half of new, and let you return it for a full refund (less shipping) within 10 days. It's a Dual Tour, has 4800 miles on it.

RE: Best seat for my '05 Road King Classic
My wife had the same prob after about 100-150 miles on the stock seat and she was hurtin'. At first I didn't know what the prob was, the bike wouldn't go down the road straight. Then I found out that she was constantly shifting around on back trying to find a comfortable spot. So I started looking around and found a Comfort Stitch (looks like you took it off of an Ultra to me) for a good price and the wife loves it. Now she won't go near the bike unless I put "HER" seat on it.We've done a few 400 mile days and she hasn't complained a bit. Good seat.

I've used both the Mustand Solo and the Sundowner Touring Bucket seats and really like them both. I'm currently using the Mustang Solo with Wide Passenger Pillon and really like that combo. Great looks in both solo and two-up configurations.

I've had Mustangs and I've got the Sundowner now. They're both great seats, but, the Sundowner costs less. So, another vote for Sundowner. Also it matches the saddlebags on the RKC. Whichever you get, get the backrest, it's worth it.

RE: Best seat for my '05 Road King Classic
Sundowner for me and the misses but this is my first upgraded seat from stock. I heard the Mustangs are great but don't have any experience with one. On a slightly different note, I sent my stock seat to Mean City Cycles to get modified for riding around town.Iam looking forward to a little flat footing at stops!
