very good pictures - the main issue my wife had with the HD stock type seats and like the ones pictured here - the FLAT passenger area, she kept sliding around and she did not like it. Our Corbin passenger area is built like a saddle, scooped out a little to help hold her in place... just something to think about

Its tough to see in pics with the new taught cover but this does have a slight concave for pass. Both rider and pass hold you in place very well. I can see the impressions from my back pockets when I get off the bike, must be a thin layer of a firm memory type foam on top.

Try all you can with free demo's, friends etc. I did, if this one didn't work my next move would have been making an appointment with Russell and take the 3 day trip.



Seats are a tough thing to buy without trying, kinda have to take a leap of faith if you are not lucky enough to live near these shops/factories. I had a Mayer custom on my last sport-touring bike, I could ride 10 hours a day for endless days and never feel a bit of pain. My buddy rode it for 30 min and was dying, go figure.

No, I haven't noticed any rubbing on the covers and I just had the right cover off last week.

I demoed a Harley Tallboy the last two days and can't get more then a couple hours out of it.I ride a 2016 RGS.I do like the riding position though.The stock seat isn't any worse.Im thinking a Mustang summit or get a mustang 76067 solo and a pillion pad later.Or send a seat to mean city cycles for a modification.Who knows.

I have tried many seats on different bikes throughout the years.

Best thing I did was getting my stock seat modified.
