I recommend C&C, but I doubt you can have one by Friday. About the best you can do with that request is to buy whatever your local dealer has in stock.

I'm a big guy like you, and love my Corbin because it provides firm support that doesn't let our tail bones bounce off the plastic seat pan.

Go to your local dealer and demo a couple seats.
My vote is for the Sundowner.

A couple of years ago, I needed a custom seat pronto for my FB, which was going to be in a bike show. I called Chuck (C&C) on Monday and he expedited it and got it out to me by Thursday. I am on the east coast and he is on the west coast. I paid dearly for the shipping, but he made it happen for me. You can't beat customer service like that.

Go to your local dealer and try out any seat you want to try. Their try a seat program is great! It's free and allows you to try it ON YOUR RIDE!

I also recommend the demo seat program at the dealership. My dealer happened to also have a Danny Gray seat that he was willing to let me try out too, which is what I ended up buying.

A short demo will not tell you if the seat is perfect for the long haul, but it will tell you if it's not right at all. I got a Mustang Daytripper for mine and it took all of 30 seconds to know it didn't fit me right at all...

I believe Mustang has a reasonable return policy if you buy from them directly, although you pay full price, it's worth it to be able to return it IMHO.

I have an 09 sg myself and the first year I had it I went thru 5 seats and 5 fenders. After fighting with the moco for a year I bought a c+c seat and it stopped my problem becuase of the quality of there seat pan. That is why the 2010 have stop blocks on the frame under the seat. I am in nj and have a brand new stock seat in my shop if you want to use it until yours comes in you are welcome to it I know it is a little far but it is here if you need it.
