I like mine, cost $25 1 night labor, many miles of happy butt. I just removed the staples and carved out the center of the stock foam. Bought a memory foam pillow and cut it to fit the hole I made in the stock seat. Streached the leather back and restapled it down. Picts on my link

Yes, I do but I waited 8 months to really decide if it was true. I bought a Day Long Seat and it was expensive but now I can ride all...got that...all day with no hot spots. It was worth the price to keep my mind on the view and not on how uncomfortable I was. Try Googling Day Long Seats. I sent them my original seat and used my original-pain-plus-25-mile Mustang seat until they sent my original back. I got it in gray in the hopes it would be a bit cooler in our summer heat down here. I was anxious as I passed the 125mile mark, what was that??? A pain memory? Would it happen? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Yes, I tried gels (squiggly), Mustang, Airhawk (valve rotted out) and sheepskin (Cool but no cigar!). Ok, I belong to the FeatherButt Association (FBA) not the IBA, BUT...(pun, pun) I am a happy rider now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Seat you later",Ken

You'll find there is no answer here to what seat is "best" ..Asses are subjective and no two are alike. I LOVED my Corbin. It did not have alot of padding ..but it never hurt my butt. Many like the Mustang , mostly those on the , uh , lets say larger than me side. (I'm 5'9" @155lbs and have no ass)
Many like the Saddleman too, so your "best" move here would be to see if their is a member near you with each of these seats, and willing to let you park your bottom on them for a test.

I wish I had that option. I'm leaning toward the custom mod of my own. I've heard many a good thing about the memory foam!

I have a Mustang seat, it's comfortable for day-long rides. The stock seat started hurting after about 2 hours.

Edit to add: While the Mustang seat is wide, there's no problem sliding around on it for turns. Act like a sportsbiker, lean off on the inside! lol
