My&nbsp\\;Danny Grey seat works great. First seat I found that was&nbsp\\;more comfortable on long rides as the stock seat without being as bulky.

Corbin is my personal favorite.

Sundowner touring worked best for me

The best seat is the one that fits your ****. The problem is, you won't know it until you've put about 500 miles on it. I bought a Mustang for my previous bike, a Fatboy, and hated it. But I'm long legged and weigh 260. For my Ultra, I have a Corbin on order that I asked them to raise up 1". Since it already moves you back, I'm hoping it will&nbsp\\;fit.
&nbsp\\;
If it doesn't work, I'll sell it on eBay, take a $100 hit and try something else.

I have a Sundowner on mine and works great. Was going to send it to Mean City over the winter to get it beefed up a little, but never did. Maybe this winter. I've ridden up to 400 miles in a day and no problems.

I posted but it didn't work.&nbsp\\; Try again:&nbsp\\; I have a sundowner on my 08 RKC with a back rest and it's very comfortable.&nbsp\\; Unfortunately the 08 sundowner doesn't match the stitching of the saddle bags or stock seat.&nbsp\\; I'm sending my stock seat to Mean City for memory foam.&nbsp\\; I'm hoping to have a seat that is both comfortable and looks good on the bike.&nbsp\\; I'm scheduled with Mean City for June 30 and will let you know how it works.

Had the Sundowner and had Allen at Mean City Cycles reshape it for me and add memory foam. Very comfortable now.
