I've been thru a bunch of them. For pure touring My Road Zepplin with adjustable air bags was the best. My girlfriend said it was the best she ever sat on. I'm running a mustang now and very happy.

Cool

My preference would be the H-D Sundowner seat...after I sent it to Mean City Cycles for their "super narrow" mod.

Send your Stock seat to MeanCity Cycle have them lower it a cpl inchs and NARROW it a cpl inchs . also have them add some Menory foam for comfort .

I had them MOD my stock RK seat ,turned out great super comfey and SUPER THRIFTY !

WAY CHEAPER than a new seat.
My TOTAL Cost INCLUDING shipping both ways was just under $150 .

Call Allen and see what he can do for you.
I have rode many 550+ days in comfort .
This also helped get my feet flat on the ground .

Most HD Dealers have a seat demo program, so you can try before you buy. Seats are very much an item that is not universal for everyone. What works for me, probably wont work for you. Try a few different ones out and see what fits you.

We have the Ultimate 2pc set. We test rode this last summer and had one on my Valkyrie the year before. It will replace my Hammock(sold already). I have not got to ride with it yet.
Some like a hard firm seat and some of us need a cushion.

I have had Corbin (too hard), Mustang (not bad), and my all time favorite "Sundowner." I liked the Sundowner out of the box but made it even better by sending it to Mean City Cycles to add memory foam.

if you lowered you bike make sure the shocks are set for the lower shock settings.

having said that, I had MCC redo a stock road glide seat with great success. however, I hated it for the first few hundred miles but once it compressed it was great. sort of like a mildly hard Corbin seat. i had very good customer service experience.

the perfect seat is hard to find unless you have a fat ***.
