Most comfortable Touring seat
« on: February 21, 2012, 07:48:35 PM »
So, we took our first rid elast Sunday ... total of about 150 miles. The wife absolutely hates the pillion pad that came stock with the back. What touring seat have you guys found to be the most comfortable for long rides? I have been looking at the Harley Hammock

Oh come on JC, you know the answer & you didn't share it.
1 word, 2 syllables,  Corbin  ‘Cor’ ‘bin’   The others are just “also ran”

We are planning a trip over Memorial Day from AZ to Hollister CA just to get a custom Corbin Seat.  They are worth the trouble & cost.

Just sayin   :nixweiss:

+1 CORBIN, nothing better. I have done over 100k on their seats, never a complaint.

I have owned a corbin seat in the past, but have never really cared for their product design. I have found Mustang to be much more comfortable and has sleeker lines. At any rate, I ordered the Harley Hammock and matching back rest. Thanks to all who replied to my post.

I had the Road Zeppelin on my '02.  Good seat.  Especially if you're a tall person.  It's a wide seat and covers a lot of realestate.  But now that I've had a chance to ride the Hammock seat, given the choice of which one I'd take now, it would definitely be the Hammock seat.  Best seat, IMO, that the MoCo has ever come out with.

The Hammock seat on my '11 SERGU is very comfy thus far.  If I had to replace it, I'd get another Corbin with heat.

The Road Zepplin may be comfortable, but I would never get over the looks.

Everybody's butt is a little different...my wife finds the Hammock seat (pillion) uncomfortable after a few hours, so I got her an Airhawk Cruiser R pad to put under her butt when she needs to.  So far, so good.  I might even get one for myself for those extra long days...it really is comfortable, and you can just throw it in the TP or saddlebag when not in use, so it's not a permanent attachment.
