Seat came in. Feels good so far, but I've only rode for 2 hrs on it. The foam is firm, but not hard like a Corbin.
The seat was custom made for my wife and I, so I'm back slightly, up and have more hamstring support for my long legs.
I'll keep you posted once I get some miles on it.

Only have about 1,000 miles on the seat, my back has flared up and has limited my riding.

My longest ride before my back went out was a 9 hour run, other than 3 gas stops, I took 1 coffee break. The seat feels good and there has been no bum burn. Although I'm finding the front outside edges of the seat is giving me discomfort under the thighs. This seems to be fading as the seat wears in.

I also had trouble touching flat footed on the ground as the seat is wide up front, I'm either getting use to it, or that is also relaxing as the seat wears in.

So far I think this is a keeper. I do find the riders back rest is huge, the Mrs. hasn't ridden with me yet, so I don't know if this will be an issue.

Of all the seats I've tried, this is the first that has offered good thigh support, which I believe is what I needed all along.
Once I have more riding time, I'll give another update
