Default CVO Road King seat ideas

So my new CVO Road King has a cool looking seat for riding to the bar and staring at it ..... But I plan on actually riding it.
I still have my Ultra for over the road long distance riding so I don't see myself doing 8 hour days on it.
So something that looks good but is good for a couple of hours 2 times a day.
I'm 6'3 and 280.
Don't want a tall boy because the princess likes to ride.
I like the 2 piece seats but not a requirement.
I put the old seat off my ultra on it and that sucked to thick looking.
Ideas ??

Im running the Danny Gray Big seat with the add on extra large passenger pillion. Very nice set up and and very nice sleek look. Its a hard saddle but I've gotten to where that's what I prefer and if you buy it from Danny, he'll keep working on the seat until you're happy with it. He can add gel or different foams. I'm really happy with the way mine came the first time with no gel. Others say they've gotta have the gel.

You may want to look at the H-D Hammock seat. They put them on Ultra CVO's. Not sure how it would look on a Road King, but they are comfortable. If you want a hard saddle, check out Corbin. I had Danny Gray's "Big Seat" - it's hard and not an "all day" seat for me.

Other than that, Mustang, Mustang, Mustang. I just bought the Mustang Vintage Solo seat along with the separate 13'' passenger seat. It's a great combination.

Depends if you like a plush seat or a firm seat. Corbin is a firm seat. Most comfortable seat I've had on a Harley. Feels the same after 5 miles as it does after 800 miles.
