Every bum is different...I have a flat butt without a lot of blubber so I like extra cushion in my seat. Harley Hammock or GTFO

I've got/had a Comfort Stitch, a new model Reach, and a Corbin solo Close. All in pursuit of fitting a smurf rider like myself.

The Comfort Stitch is the winner for me. I can and do ride all day on this seat. It may or may not be the old Comfort Stitch close. It does position me about as far forward as the Reach seat does.

The Reach seat is not comfortable. It's both a slab bottom and a pincher. While it's low, it's actually harder to reach the ground from than the Comfort Stitch because of the way it pushes my legs out. I use this seat the least.

The Corbin solo Close is also low, but it scoots me back as far as a stock seat does. It's not bad comfort wise, but it's not good either. Using a cushion to push me forward on the seat makes the seat darn uncomfortable. It also fits poorly on the bike. Nice looking seat, but it's really a disappointment to me.

I guess for some I better clarify. I do not have another seat pad that goes on top of. The Danny Gray 2up XL seat is awesome and the solo version Airhawk bigseat solo is just as good. I have both versions and yes they are more than good to me!!! They are EXCELLENT...

I don't think they sell 'em anymore but the HD Brawler Solo is a pretty darn comfortable low seat. Don't know if a solo will work for you tho. Leather cover and it does take a few miles to break in because of the firm thin padding. I love mine and my buddy bought one. He wasn't sure he liked it till it broke in, now he loves his.

I would say it depends on your riding... short trips or long trips?

I had a Corbin Solo seat on my softail, very comfortable never a problem. All day riding also.

Now I have a Danny Gray butt crack solo seat on my bagger and its not good. Quality and craftsmanship also. Ill be switching back to Corbin or Saddlemen after trying it out in Laughlin.

A second part of this question should include your age.

Thank you everyone for the advice. And to answer that second part of the question, 36. I do need 2-up and not solo. Love the look of solo seats but like the wife better lol

I purchased a road zepplin last year, but the padding was shot and the cover had a few tears.
Pan was perfect and the compressor and all air bladders work.
I'm getting it custom done now, slimming it down, removing the couch buttons, etc.
I'll post up pics when done...should be the best of both worlds. Custom made with adjustable air on the go.
