Welcome to the Forum

Try the demo seats they have at the dealerships.

Thanks!
Have the after market seat guys caught up with the '17 models yet? That would be my concern. I've always been partial to C&C seats. Tried Mustangs, La Pera, but was never comfortable enough for me.

Try looking at Corbin, maybe they have what you want. Good luck.

I just custom ordered a Le Pera Bare Bones for my '17 Slim. Personally, I like the stock seat, but I wanted leather, and I wanted to expose a little more of the frame. I also wanted the stitching to mimic the stock seat as closely as possible.

But if you're mainly looking for comfort, the Bare Bones probably isn't for you.

I got a heritage stock seat an it was ok but I hated the look, the Mustang day tripper was more comfortable than stock to me but not great...I also found a deal on a stock blackline seat...it's ok but it doesn't hold you in place like the Mustang an the passenger part feels like a 2x4 with a little foam over it. I'm thinking I might get the blackline seat re-done with memory foam an a little more padding on the transition to the pass area to help hold me when I crank the throttle. For what I spent on the Mustang an Blackline seats I could have gotten a Corbin an probably be happier.

Send your seat to mean city cycles and have them rebuild it. I have one enroute to them and I can't wait to try it. They have a great reputation. It costs $175 for a double decker rebuild.

Personally, I've had my Corbin seat for around 10 years or so and it's been great for me. From reading many threads on this subject, I think I remember Mustang seats being mentioned a lot, good luck.
