What aftermarket seat is best for long rides for fxd model...Any help would be great...Stock seat is killing my back..

 

There is really a lot of choices out there. what is best will depend on her. If your looking for ultimate in comfort, Mustang and Corbin are two of the most well regarded and will customize any of their seats to fit your specific needs. Corbins tend to be more firm but surprisingly comfortable. Their stuff is usually more expensive but the work is top notch. Lepera offers a great variety in styles and will also customize to suit. Their stuff is usually more reasonably priced and although in my opinion they are not on par with the Corbins or mustangs they are best bang for your buck. I'm partial to the Lepera Daytona 2up smooth, minimal to no bitching...............

 

Sorry I thought you mentioned two up...........but I stand by what I said, if money is not an issue go with Corbin. If the Corbin is out of reach, Lepera makes a great seat. check out their website you will find something you like for sure...

 

If you want a solo seat I highly recommend a Corbin Hollywood solo. It has a nice low profile look and is surprisingly comfortable. I recently rode over 400 miles one day and felt great at the end of the ride. Much better than the stock seat and definatly worth the extra money.

 

For a solo seat it would be hard to beat a Mustang vintage solo for long ride comfort.

 

I've had Mustang, LePera C&C and others. My Corbin Hollywood Solo is the most comfortable seat I've owned so far.

 

Do yourself a favor - If you get a corbin make sure it secures with a simple screw like every other seat. The ones with their "unique" locking mechanism are junk. I bought one brand new from them and the thing broke with less than 300 miles on it leaving no way to remove it other than to hacksaw it off from the top. Their response was silence. Would not give me a refund or even a credit for another seat. Said i would have to bring it in to their shop 3k miles away.

I ended up getting a lepera for half price and think the quality is better than the corbin. It fit perfectly right out of the box and is held on by a simple screw in the back like every other seat.

 

I've had Corbin and Lepera. I consider the quality of LePera to be top-notch and better than Corbin ..... and I believe you get better Customer Service with Lepera. I'd look at the Lepera Maverick or Sorrento for passenger comfort.

I went with the HD Sundowner. I once in a while will have a passenger and they appreciate the wide rear seat. I have put on over 500 miles in one day and had no problem at all.

 

If you want the best go with a Corbin. I've had one on each my last 3 bikes with no complaints.
