Okay need some feedback. My stock seat was killing my a$$, so I bought a used Zeppelin, can't find a position on this road sofa that is comfortable. Now I am thinking about a Mustang seat. But before laying out more bucks I wanted to get some feedback what other CVO ownres have switched to.

Corbin Dual Tour (heated) on my '06 SEUC...best seat I've ever had.  The jury is still out on the '11 SERGU, but if it gets replaced, it will likely be a Corbin.

Mustang seats also get favorable reviews from some on the site as well.

What works for some people will not always work for you. Corbin, C&C, Danny Grey, Mustang are popular around here just to name a few. You really need to sit on some to try. A lot of folks think the Corbin is too hard...I had one and liked it, although it does take some getting used to. For this bike so far the stock seat is pretty good....we will see after a 500 mile day.

Corbin dual heat on my SE Ultra, Corbin on the Road Rod, love them.  They are a little hard for some, but my stock SE seat killed my a$$ too.

Love my Corbin Dual Tourer. Price but worth it in the end. Or should is "for the end"?

Call mustang and see if you can meet up with them at one of their scheduled event appearances they normally will let you try before you buy.  That way you give it a test ride on your own scoot and see if you like it and really check out all of their options and styles.  A seat is a hard product to recommend everyone has their own opinion to what is comfortable for them.  I've had a Corbin on one of my bikes it was nice but I found the best seat for me was my stock seat that I brought to a local upholstery shop and had reworked with space foam which was shaped for me.  It was only 120.00 bucks and fit like a glove he also shaped and formed the passenger pad to fit my wife.  The only grip I can think of is if its under 50* out the seat is rock hard until it gets a little heat in it about 5 to 10 miles on the saddle and it's perfect again.
                                                    Good luck with your search,

In other words...everyone's azz is different so be sure to take if for a long test ride much like you do with a long-term sufficient other...

Corbin Classic Solo with the Touring Pillion.....best seat I ever owned. 

After riding ocean to ocean with it, it allowed me to sell all the other seats I'd collected.  I was so resistant for years because to the touch, it's a very firm (hard) seat.  But it's the most comfortable seat after ten or twelve hours in the saddle.  Don't ask me to explain it cuz I can't......I just know it works.

Mustang solo w/rider's backrest... Mustang's rider's backrest is fabulous. Infinitely adjustable on the fly. They offer 3 widths of matching pillions to suit your needs.

The best seat is the one that fits your butt and lets you cover miles without any pain or discomfort.  i found out several bikes ago that the Harley Sundowner works best for me.  Just got back yesterday from a 1900 mile trip including a 600 mile leg to get home, and the last thing I had to worry about was an uncomfortable seat.  If you plan on covering some miles, this is one of the most important pieces of equipment you will buy.

I bought a C&C SportTour seat with driver and passenger back rests a couple of weeks ago.  The quality is top notch but, it makes my butt and legs numb.  I had it stitched with yellow thread to match my SERG.  Contacted Chuck to see if something can be done for it.  May have to sell it and find another.

Some people like the Corbins, but to me it's like sitting on a wooden bench.  I went with the Drag Specialties seat on both SEEGs.  Great seat and not extremely expensive like the Corbins.

I had a Mustang touring seat with backrest and the wife loved it as did I, I now have a Saddleman but I preferred my Mustang, to note, both put my seating position higher and still using the stock windscreen, I get nailed pretty good from sitting higher so right now I'm using the stock seat. I may try the new Mustang Daytripper to keep my seat height lower than the bigger touring seats. Like many said, it's an individual preference.

I've never had one but have heard a lot of good complements about the Mustang line of seats. Never heard a bad thing about Mustang seats. Corbin also sells a lot of seats. Some people love them some don't. They are a little stiff. Have heard from a factory rep that they did have some production problems awhile back with air pockets in the foam under the leather. I have always kept the stock seat. Never had a problem. I ride a lot of long distance cross country and 500/600 and even 1000 mile days. On long trips I use a product called the Air Hawk. Its a pad filled with air, from a short hose that you put in your mouth to inflate, no tools or pump required, and it just straps to your stock seat. It was originally designed for airline pilots. A pilot who rides told me about them and I never ride long distance without my Air Hawk under my a**. The cost is only about $125.00. They make many different sizes and shapes and there is also one available for the passenger. Legal disclaimer: I have no association with Mustang, Corbin or Air Hawk, Your results may vary. Price subject to change without notice. Pictures available upon request.

I bought a Mustang when I was in Sturgis in 06. They told be if I don't like it to return
it in a couple of days. I was headed home, so I figured 800 miles should do it...........
My better half loved it as I did, but she wanted HEAT. At the time it was not offered,
so I asked to return it, and all I had to do was pay the UPS bill. They were real nice
and allowed me to do so. I found out last year that they have vendors who do heat,
so guess who has another one!
