I had 3 solo seats on my 2010 SG. First, was a Mustang Vintage Solo seat and was by far the most comfortable. In my opinion, it didn't look right on the SG because it was not a low profile seat. Second, I had a Danny Gray "Big Seat". It was a high quality seat, but moved me forward and it was flat out "hard", like a Corbin seat. Good for 4 hours. Third, was the H-D Brawler. High quality, low profile, best looking seat out there in my opinion for SG's, however, it move me back and down so much that my back started hurting soon after I got on it. Not for me. No experience with C&C, but they are great looking seats, similar to the Danny Gray seat and I'm guessing they're hard also.

My advice, get a Mustang Vintage Solo for long rides and your choice for the short rides (whatever one looks best to you, because none of them are 10 hour seats like the Mustang, IMHO).

See attachments: left is the Danny Gray,
middle is the Brawler, right is the Mustang.

Thanks for an informative review.

New to me, 07 Street Glide.
It has the Mustang solo seat with an intergrated backrest.
I don't have a lot of experience with long rides or different seats, but I am liking this seat more. I put on the stock seat the other day and immediately did not like it. I think it sat me a bit higher than the Mustang solo, and I missed the backrest right away.

This Mustang seat does not fit me too well. I find that it is a bit wide for me when stopped and sitting on the bike. Riding is not bad but I feel there are a couple of high spots. I've got about three hundred miles on it and getting more used to it. Again, IMO, way better than the stock seat.

It takes 1000-1200 miles to break it in. The first 1000 for mine were miserable, but I had one on a sportster so I knew that going in. Now I could ride all day long and not get bothered at all.

Isnt it interesting how a seat isnt the same for everyone. I was talked into buying a Mustang seat once. That will be the last one I ever get. Couple hours is all I could stand. Corbin? The bike doesnt hold enough gas for me to get uncomfortable. I kept the Corbin off my last bike and traded it in with the crap *** Mustang. Dont know what I think Im going to do with that Corbin. Doesnt fit any bike I will ever have again.

What about the Harley seats on the cvo's ? Can take the passenger seat off for solo or put the back on for a passenger . I think they or some good looking owing seats and feel good I have been thinking of ordering one for my roadking . Since I never see anyone talk about them I was wondering if anyone else thinks they look good ?
