It's a firm "comfortable" for about an hour max for me. I'm not a form over function guy, but once in a while I like stripping the bags off, strapping on the solo seat, and have the guilty pleasure of enjoying a shorter ride in style if I don't have far to go. But it's stiff... painfully stiff.

I also picked up a Le Para Daytona Full Length Sport Seat at the same time as the Buttcrack... I dislike this one as well, it lasted one ride, but not due only to the lack of comfort - it moved me so far forward I couldn't handle it. If you're under 6' tall and you don't mind a firm seat, it may be better for you (PM me if you have any interest in learning more, it's like new and doing nothing on my shelf back in the original packaging after 1 ride).

My Dad swears by his Mustang solo seat and so does his friend, but I sat on one and felt as though it moved me 1" forward which was a no go for me. A shame because it felt really comfortable.

Honestly, with the return policy on seats being so strict, if you can afford the time / money for a custom seat, it sounds like the only way to go unless you have a friend with a seat you like after a lengthy test ride.
