As others have stated, it's a personel thing, Ultimate seat was great, till i rode a whole day, both passenger and i couldnt wait to get off, sundowner was ok, never had a Corbin, but kept hearing they're C. S. sucks, went with a Mustang, and am pretty happy. soft on top, firmer on bottom, great C.S.. Hammock was good for me, till it seemed like it broke down in about 1,700 mi. So, Harley has demo's, Ultimate, and Mustang have 10 day trials. If you try any ,make sure you have set aside time to really put some miles on, Good luck

 

My stock seat on the Road Glide bothers my legs.. Think it is too wide.. My Road King Classic seat, although would sink down putting my vision below the windshield top, after a 100 miles or so, was still more comfortable..

 

I am in the market for new seat also and plan on getting Corbin Classic Solo ... can you tell me ... does it sit you down and back and if so ... how much do you think ... inch each ways? Timm

 

I also own a Limited and wanted to replace the stock seat. I did a lot of research and decided on the Russell day long saddle. I went to there factory and was impressed. When I went to order I was warned that I would be sitting approx. 1.5 inches higher and would need to learn how to slide forward at stops in order to put feet on the ground. They recommend having two saddles, the Russell for touring, another for local rides.

I then decided to demo a heated Hammock from my local HD dealer. I really liked it, a lot. Decided to purchase the CVO Limited heated Hammock through a online discounter for $951, delivered. My wife and I really like it. Looks real nice and rides real smooth. Heat was a must. The regular Hammock is also very nice, I simply wanted leather trim on my seat.

Time will tell on durability. I did check the CVO forum for feedback. Harley has been using Hammock seats for 4 or 5 years on the CVO touring bikestheeedback was positive, no one mentioned replacing the seat because it lost it's hammock suspension. They mentioned that the seat got better with time.

My last bike had the Corbin, it was too firm for me.

 

www.ccseats.com best seats on the planet. let me know if you need a price

 

I like LePara and so does my butt and back. Not cheap, but after 20,000 miles still comfy. joe

 

I had a Russell on a Moto Guzzi and for me it was the best seat I have ever had. They will raise you some but very comfortable. I needed a lower seat height on my new UC so the Russell was out of the question so I just got in the Q at Mean City Cycles. I sure hope it works out.

 

This is spot on ^^^^^^^

I've had 5 Corbin seats now, a C&C, Mustang, Sundowner and factory RK, Dyna and SGS seats and Corbin is the absolute best (IMO) for long distance riding. They do take some getting used to but once you do you just won't like anything else

 

I've had two seats done my Mean City and can't speak highly enough about their work. Better chance you'll be happy having your stock seat modified to your liking than taking a chance on an expensive aftermarket seat.

 

Best is subjective.
Best would be to go to your dealer and try out several models when the weather is conducive to riding.
Your opinion is only one that matters.
