Default Seat Help

Got an 09 Nightser and today I got my first introduction to long distance riding. The seat is absolutely horrible. I want to replace it. What do people recommend?! I am going to be riding on average 50-100 miles a day once this weather finally officially breaks...and I am about 230lbs. No two up as of right now but possibly in future..but I was thinking a nice solo seat and then a pillion if I ever decide to get a passenger.

never seen it on a nightster, but the most comfortable distance seat is the wide mustang... have it on my bike- the first seat that does not have "butt time" (a certain amount of time that you can stand to sit without pain)- my fuel will run out before my butt tells me to take a break...

I love my seat! I've done 400 + miles 4 days in a row and like was stated before fuel ran out before my *** had enough.

Mustang Vintage Sole. Took mine to local seat shop. Had them tale the apron off the rear, looks much better for the style of our bikes.
