I think the foam in my factory seat has given up. I can't ride for more than 20 min without my tailbone sreaming at me. I'm 6' and 240lbs. I would like to find a seat that would A: Have more cushion for my butt and B: maybe raise me up a couple inches so I don't feel like I'm squating when I ride. Any suggestions?

 

It's my experience that what you want is firmer foam, not more foam, counter-intuitive as that sounds.

I haven't used them personally, but Mean City Cycles seems to be well regarded for seat restoration.

I put a Corbin on my FLH and couldn't be more pleased. Have never had a seat as comfortable for long days.

Different strokes for different folks. I like space for the tailbone. I find a sharp rise is better than some of these more curved seats. I had a Mustang touring on my Dyna - gave it a try for several weeks and then determined it was way too hard and uncomfortable for me , as much as I wanted to like it.

I have a Softail logo stock seat on my Softail - the one with the buttons - perfectly happy with this seat though I wish it didn't have buttons. There is a Mustang Regal that looks similar and promising if you can stomach the look.

 

I'm about your size, maybe a little lighter except during the holidays. I put a Mustang Vintage Wide on my FXD. I'm happy enough with it, and can ride a couple hundred miles no problem.

 

I did look at the Corbin since I had one on my last ride. The wallet is not ready to shell out $600 for a driver/pass seat just yet. I guess I will try to save some coin over the next few months. I've looked at the MeanCity cycle route but one of my mounting brackets is broken and JB welded on so I think I will need a new seat pan in order for them to do the job right

 

I like the C&C SportTour on my Fatboy.

 

Keep your eyes open and look around, I bought my solo used for $225, shipped. I'm 6'1", 280 and it feels comfortable. I love the back rest, but not the forward and up positioning, it's a trade-off.

 

I have a Mustang Wide Touring One-Piece Regal Seat on my Fatboy. Very comfortable for both the rider and passenger. Many high mileage days have been spent on this seat. But I admit, this seat is more function over form.
