Default seat advice, passenger comfort

I currently have a mustang tourer on my road king and after about 350 miles yesterday my wife was complaining about butt cramps, we stopped about every 100 miles to stretch but it was a long day.So I am looking to make her more comfortable in the long ride. I am looking for recommendations Corbin, Custom rebuilt stock ( I will have to buy a stock seat to modify)or something else all suggestions are welcome.

If I hadn't got such a deal on a Road Zeppelin(won't fit yours)on this forum, I would have gotten a Russell Daylong seat ...

Also a lot of riders here talk about Mean City Cycles seats ...

I checked both and have about decided towardday-long, but now the problem is going to be finding a cheep seat pan since my bike started out a police model I dont have a stock seat pan to send for them to build on

When I bought my Roadking instead of an 1800 Wingwhich my friends ride, my wife complainedabout the lack of pillion comfort compared to the wing, so I installed a HD comfort stiched touring seat,King tourpack and comfort stiched backrest,kuryakyn tourpack relocator kit and kuryakyn adjustable pillion pegs. I have found it is a combination of factors for pillion comfort not just the seat, my pillion is now almost happy.
