Joemamma, that's an impossible question to answer! I have sought that answer for years for myself on at least 5 Harleys and a myriad of other motorcycles. The Heritage I had this seat on is an example. I tried the stock seat, then a reach seat, then the Corbin seat. The search for comfort must include handlebars, risers and grips, as well as the seat. Your height, weight and reach also impact your comfort.
What I can tell you is that this seat was built by Corbin for a rider who is 5'6" tall, weighted 175 and wanted the seat to move the rider 1" closer to the tank. If you weight more than 175 you'll probably find the seat less comfortable the more your weight increases above 175. If you weight less, say anywhere from 165 to 145, you will find the seat more fitted to your needs. If you ride sitting straight-up more of your butt will contact the seat, but a little forward leaning will make for less butt on the seat. I tried 2 sets of bars and a couple of risers in addition to the seats. You can try the seat and if it doesn't work for you I believe you can sell it for about as much as you bought it for. I would suggest test rides of 100-200 miles to really give the configuration you have (seat, bars, risers, grips) a fair rundown. I personally like to ride sitting almost vertical and having almost a 75 degree or so bend at the elbow.
Sorry I really can't answer your question. I do suggest going to the dealer and trying all of the sample seats available for your bike. Don't just ride them home and around the area, do like you suggested and put on 100-200 miles in a stretch, that will really tell you what you want to know about the seat.
Good luck with your search Rollon
