Just Rode 405 miles none stop except to get gas. Went from Chattanooga TN to Columbia SC through the Mt. Road back roads and 2 days later came back the interstate. My butt was soar. I rode my 2005 Ultra to FL about 3 year ago with no promblem. This 2007 Screaming Eagle Seat was not bad the first 200 miles. after that I wanted to get off but had to get home. I been looking on line at Mustage  and Corbin. has anyone tried both and what your opion.

People commonly say good things about Corbin or Mustang.  It's your butt that will be in any particular saddle though.  Butt's vary so no one can say what specifically will be best for you.  However....

Last trip of that length you did was three years ago?  While that's not a "long" trip for a touring bike you still have to gain some acclimation to the effort.  If you're not used to it you'll likely be at least a little sore at the end of a four hour ride no matter what saddle your sitting.

Me and my butt cheeks are kind of partial
to the Mustang on long trips....... If I'm not leaving
the Island, the stock seat's just fine.

I went 2100 miles on my stock seat in 4 days. The last day I rode 14 hours straight. It was not to bad at first then my ass got sore. I can say this. When I first got my bike 200 miles was bad but after ridding for awhile you get use to it. But Im seriously thinking of a new seat as well for those longer rides. I think I'm Gona try a Corbin seat my self. I'll let u know what I think about it when I got that rout. Best of luck to you and your seat choice.

I had a oem Ultra seat on my 09.  I loved it.  Consider that in the end time wins.  I know the seat doesnt matter to me as much as being 52 years old does.

In 85 I rode from Portland Or to NOLA on a 79 Goldwing, oem seat, no windshield.  I couldnt do that today.

I did the Danny Grey with the built in Air Hawk system that has been great for me. I had a Corbin on my last bike and could only make it about 100 miles before the "pain" set in. With this seat I can add/let out air on the fly which makes a world of difference. Went 170 miles today (needed gas) without a problem. Never would have been able to do that with the Corbin and I even had a gel pad added to it to try to help. I guess I have a "sissy" butt...

I'll second any of the Mustang products,, I can ride all day.

I've had Mustang seats on the last two bikes, I took the Mustang seat off and replaced it with a H-D Low about 2 yrs. ago, My BSR complained about her back killing her every time we rode, so last Sunday i put the Mustang back on and we rode about 250 miles,, No complaints, the Mustang is back on for good now.

I second "It's your butt" thing.
Personally I love the stock seat, I rode 2400+ mile in 4 days, with 1100+ being in one 18 hour day only stopping for gas/food. I still felt great and want to keep going, but was too tired.
When I first got the bike, I felt a little stiff/sore, but I kept pushing further and further, now it doesn't bother me at all.
Love the SECUSE7 it rocks.

I agree that everyones butt is different, seems most people think the stock hammock seats are great but went to sturgis last fall & it about killed me by the time we got there. I put a heated mustang on while there & it was a much more pleasant ride home. Like one of the post's says though i think i am getting to be a little soft. 53 years old & don't ride as much as i used to probably has a lot to do with it. But in the end i want to be a comfortable as possible. I think the stock seat was to soft.

The newer CVO seats have the hamock in them which them very sweet IMHO.
 There is a seat shop out her called Bitchin Stitchn that will rebuild your seat with a gel insert.  I checked them out at the Veterens Rally in Cripple Creek CO.  If I had problems I would contact them.  I picked up a card for a friend.

Been through them all..now using a Mustang heated dual with riders and passenger backrest for ultra..very nice...dropped 1 inch down and 1 inch up, fits real nice to the dash...I need to polish out the scratches the owem seat left on it.  Not leather, no maint needed...perfect for laziness...

I picked a the corbin seat that matches the 06 and 07 screaming eagles and it felt good, a little hard for my taste but comfortable. Now my 13 will be here anyday, so I will be looking to sell it if your interested.
