My last two seats were RoadSofas by Saddleman. I'm going Corbin next.

I've had a few RG's the last few years and momma won't let the Mustang seat transfer to the new owners. Its a good all day 500++ mile seat. You know what happens if momma is happy.  Doc

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.

The '07, if I'm not mistaken, had virtually the same seat as the '06 (SEUC).  If so, those seats were worthless after a couple of hundred miles, particularly after the bike itself got more than 4 or 5K on the odometer.  The foam collapses and you're basically sitting on the seat pan.  Feels good in the showroom, but sucks on the road.  Mine got to the point where I could not stay on it for more than 75-100 miles at a time without my tailbone KILLING me, and I mean extreme discomfort.  I put a Corbin Dual Tour on it with heat and never looked back.  Put 20K + on that seat and NEVER had a sore butt, even with 5-600 mile days a couple of times.  Corbins feel hard, but conform to your butt after a few hundred miles of break in time.  But some people never get used to them.  Mustangs are good too, but I have no personal experience with them.  One other option is to let Mean City rebuild your stock seat.

The newer Harley Hammock seat on my '11 SERGU is comfortable...so far.  But I wouldn't pay their asking price for it if buying for another bike...I think Corbin or Mustang have nicer offerings for the money.

I've been looking at Russell Day Long as well as Mustang. I had a Mustang on a previous H-D and it was always good. Someone reccommended I check out the Day Long seats if I plan to log a lot of miles. Still debating.

I had the same seat on my 06, total POS.  Yep about 200 miles and we felt like we were done, although we did some painful 500 mile days on it.

So know on the 06 we have a Corbin for the last 4 years, made to look just like the stock seat with the cover, made for us at Corbin, takes most of the day to get it built right but we can ride forever on it. It is firm, but we became a believer in the firmness.  I have never tried a out of the box Corbin.  We have had 2 and both were custom built to us at Corbin.

On our 09 we have the Mustang 2up Touring seat.  For an out of the box seat it is very nice.  Doesn't fit either of us as well as the custom Corbin but we can easily do 350 miles before we start to squirm on it and pretty easily get past 450 miles on it.  Nice seat for the money

I should also add that the Mustang will move you forward a little and give the BSR a little more room without compromising the riding position.   Doc

Riding on my third stock seat.  The stitching came apart on the first two.  I’ve put 43,000 on the 2010 and all I do is throw on a piece of sheepskin I picked up in Custer, SD to help keep my butt cool.  That and Gold Bond or Anti Monkey Butt power for longer rides.

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.

Mike and Debbie are good friends of mine.  I am going to have them do my seat also.

I find the '11 SEUC stock seat to be very comfortable even after a 1,500 mile road.  Of course, I have been riding Softails for years with LePera seats, so the comfort bar is set very low.  SJ Ron

Bought my Corbin a couple of months ago.  Unpacked it, stuck it on the bike and my first initial thought was "Holy Crap This Thing Is Hard".  Like a good CVOHarley Trooper, I was sure praying that all the posts on this seat were true.  Since I've put it on, I have logged several 8 hr. days in the saddle.  Not once has there been any "pain in the ass" that has been associated with this seat.  The more you ride it, the more you like it.

I sure do like the looks of that Danny Grey Air Hawk.  Maybe someday I'll get a chance to ride in one

I took a gamble and rode the 500+ miles to pick up my CORBIN at the factory. My rear and my girls was really aching when we finally landed at CORBIN.  Don't think I could've taken another couple hours on that STOCK 2011 HAMMOCK SEAT.

Slapped the CORBIN on and it felt pretty "Hard" at first, but riding the next 800 miles proved that this saddle is exceptional.  I love and will not be without my CORBIN again.

Twolaneride I have one Question for you. How many mile can you put on that seat before your sore?
Thanks for all the input guys. Hopefully  I have something soon to brag about.

[Teemo Supremo]

I've had 5 Harley's, and 5 Corbin seats. Yes, they're firm, but they are made for your body to last. I've gone 700 miles a day for four days straight, with no problems.

Corbin Classic solo with passenger pillion. No more "dead butt" or sciatica. Corbin reps say its "the foam that is the difference" call them, they will explain. I have the same set up as the picture from Teemo Supremo. Corbin seats have a built in lock, you can customize leather, color, and stitching. It has been a big improvement over "stock" for me.
