I have an Electraglide touring seat. 47 thousand miles including a 2,500 mile trip down the Blue Ridge Pkwy with a passenger. It has been awesome.

IMO: Nothing beats a Russell Day Long custom made saddle. I have ridden for about 30 years and have had a variety of different seats from off the shelf "customs" to homemade (well doctored) seats to a couple of full customs. Russell, while not the prettiest seats - it feels so good that its looks go from odd to beautiful.

My .02 is Mustang. The wife and I have done many 300+ days with no butt issues at all.

Ditto that.

I was in a hurry and bought a Mustang Supertouring this spring. Nice seat - not cheap. It is vastly better than the stocker. But, a Russell Daylong is vastly better than the Mustang. Had one on a BMW and swore I would never sit in another seat. Sending my stock Ultra pan in to Russell over the winter. Anyone want to buy a nice Supertouring in the spring?

Ultimate Seats makes the most comfortable seat for me. I've had their seats on two bikes now and they are great. I've tried seats by Corbin, Mustang and HD before finding the Ultimate seat.
