Putting a brown seat on a black bike looks out of place, like wearing brown shoes with a black suit.

I had a brown seat on my black wide glide.. ALWAYS got compliments, and loved the look. Thinking about eventually getting a brown solo for my RK.

I think that brown will look good and you wont see one on every bike in town it looks custom.It will also retain less heat than a black seat.It'll look even better if you can add some other brown accents somewhere.Maybe brown leather grips, passenger backrest pad,tank console etc.

I would go for black, have you tried to ''photo shop'' an image of a brown seat on a picture of your bike?

..get a black seat..take the bike up to about 120 mph on a 2 lane back road...then you'll get to see what a "brown" seat will look like..
