I spent thousands on seats on all my other non-harley bikes.

The Harley stock UltraClassic seat is the most comfortable I've owned.

My 2012 cvo sg has a nice looking three piece seat, sits ok.  I bought a Stock non-cvo SG seat for short rides, looks good.

But I bolt on the stock UltraClassic seat when I get serious, like back to back 750 mile days.

I have stock handlebars, and am big at 6'2"/260.

Had Corbin on my previous bike. Worked excellent for me. Upgraded my SG  CVO and now have 2015 bike. After the first 500 ml run it's clear I need a new seat. So again went with Corbin.

I have had that seat for 35000 miles and I absolutely love it! did over 500 miles just today and I had no issues and I have never been able to do that on any other seat. I have had a couple of Corbins including one that I had custom rebuilt with high end foam and gel. I have always had issues with "monkey butt" and this is the only seat that has ever worked for me. Key is not to put in too much air just like the Air Hawk seat pad. Most people including me when I first got the seat put too much air in. Need to put just a little

 
I'm hoping to experience the same results.  No longer have the need (nor desire) to travel 350-400 miles or more a day,  but still  want a comfortable seat for my butt.  Just recently got a Danny Gray Air Hawk and have yet to try it out on an extended (150-250) mile trip............but hope it works as I have heard.

In the past,  I've had a Corbin (hard and comfortable on short trips,  but will eat your azz alive after 400 miles on the way to the Milwaukee 100 year anniversary deal yrs ago. On the return trip,  I had purchased a gel pad (in Milwaukee) that did indeed save my azz for the return trip.   Since,  I've had a Mustang seat which had (great customer service) after a problem.............but still not as comfortable (long ride) as I'm hoping the D.G. will be.

I am running Mustang wide vintage solo seat w/backrest-tried others but keep coming back to the mustang. Corbin was ok but priced too extreme. customer service at corbin is lame. my 2 cents

Went with the signature series. I love it. Went with the passenger seat as well.

I'm late to post on this thread, butt... I've been riding.
I went with a Saddlemen Dominator, purchased through Revzilla. I did 12000 miles thes year, 8k on the stock seat, yuck. I had a C&C on my SERK. Loved the looks, a little hard on the backside though. Rode it across the country round trip. CnC held up well but killed me on the 750 mile days.

I did an 850 mile day followed by 450 miles the next on the way to Sturgis this year with the Saddlemen Dominatorand solo with backrest. The most comfortable seat I've ever had the pleasure to ride in 26 years. It looks like it was made for my Mercury SESG with the grey stitching and carbon fiber look.

Good luck with your choice!

Hey Wild Hog. How's that bike treating you? I am still loving mine, and enjoying Corbin. I picked up another set for mine and had them upholstered and double stitched with flames to compliment the flames on our bikes. Here are a few pictures. I just got them back last night and the rear seat is just placed on the back and not actually bolted down yet.

KY-SESG how tall are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm 5'11 and like the seat but have read it is somewhat of a reduced height style, pushing the rider a bit forward? How do you feel in this compared to the stock seat, closer to the fairing, higher, lower?

Thanks for the pickys  KY-SESG, looks good, I haven't seen much in the way of saddlemen seats,
And as you say with the stitching it looks kinda custom made, how does it compare to say a mustang, any pressure points to note off?, also looks like it is nicely rounded and scolopped  by the leg (like a Corbin I suppose ), I do think shape ie rounded and scolopped in the right places has just as much to do with comfort as the amount and type of padding in a seat.

For example I've had many mustang seats and think they are comfy for me, however they could be a whole lot better if they were to realise a mans and woman's butt are not flat!, so why are there seats flat? Now they would argue once you sit on the seat it moulds to your ass, ...not true what will actually happen is you will create a pressure point at the most rounded part of you butt and after an hour or so you will notice it,
Now I think shape as mentioned is just as important, other seats with less or firmer padding but with the correct shape and rounded slightly will actually support and spread the weight of your body evenly across it and you find you can ride a hell of a lot longer, that's why I think Corbin are popular they realise this and there seats do have shape to it and even though the padding is firmer the overall support is better...we've all sat on those  curved 1/4" plywood  office chairs and been surprised how comfy they are..why.? Because of shape and even support!
I wish mustang would note this I've had long chats with them but they won't change., I would love a Corbin however this side of the water I cannot chance it not fitting properly  on my 2015 Cvo  streety and you know what there customer service is like!

Didn't mean to rant on too much about this but thought these points are worth mentioning and should form part of everyone decision when choosing a seat.
