Default Comfortable seat

So I have a 23 low rider s and I currently have a saddle man seat.. I rode two and a half always the other day and was super uncomfortable. Anyone have suggestions on seats that are comfortable for long rides? Yes the seat is already broken in.

C&C seats. I think they are the best

I've been riding on Mustang seats for 25 years...no complaints.

I had the same problem not only was my step-up seat uncomfortable but it also pushed me forwards (***** on the tank) I sold it and brought a Lepera Kick-flip seat which is way more comfy and if anything sits you slightly back from stock

Corbin solo is the best. I can stay on my Heritage 114 all day. One thing, they are fond of their seats. Prolly $800 otd.

Find a dealer with a demo seat and try out a Sundowner. I've had seats from most of the manufacturers, and the Sundowner has been the keeper.

The Sundowner is a good one. I always buy Mustang seats with no problems. I did buy a Mustang Daytriper it's thiner and not as comfortable, but I knew that going in. I stick with the standard now.

I have the Saddlemen step up on my Street Bob 114 and a Saddlemen road sofa on my Street Glide. Both seats are firm, which I like. However, both seats took about 1000 miles to break in. Good luck.

I have an HD Tallboy on mine. Much more comfortable than the original. I'm six foot tall with lower back problems. If the stock seat was the only option I'd have had to get rid of the bike. I can ride all day now with no issues as the Tallboy lifts you up an inch and allows you to move back if you want to. But I find I have quite a lot of movement room with the Tallboy so I can shuffle about on long rides which helps as well.

My only regret is I would have liked to have kept the solo seat look. If the Tallboy came as a solo option it would be perfect for me.
