Who makes the best seat for long distance riding?

Who makes the best seat for long distance riding?

Can't speak from experience, but Huggy Bear says the word on the street is "Mustang"... 

Or for the budget minded, meancitycycles.com...

Mustang made a big difference! I bought it more for my wife because it was fine with me! Now I would not give it up! Rod
By the way, I ride an 1800S same seat.

800 miles on the Mustang are no problem (least from my experience).  Any comments on the ultimate seat?

The Ultimate seat is your friend.

I have the Ultimate 4 pc Big Boy and it's great. I think the Mustang is a good one, too. I ran a poll on the main VTXOA board and Ultimate edged out the Mustang slightly. It's really a matter of personal preference so the best thing to do is to sit on both to see which you like better. Even better if you can test drive before deciding. I've also heard the BadX seat mod is great, too, but haven't ever sat on it.

I just installed the Ultimate 4 pc Big Boy this weekend. Rode about 100 miles and was not even tired....

I've riden 600 miles on my Ultimate and wasn't tired. Well, maybe a little stiff but compared to stock when I drove to Daytona was no comparison. I thought my back and everything else was on fire. They say you need about 100 miles to break it in but it was pretty comfortable from the beginning.

Thanks for the feedback, I will have to explore my options.

Gawd I need a new seat, my butt kills me on anything over 30 minutes.

Stock seat definitely sucks. It was the first mod that I made.

Rode close to 400 miles Saturday in the Ultimate X seat. The ride was awesome. This seat is worth the money..

[rbrown]

I agree. I rode to Daytona with one on my second trip and it was comfortable the whole way. Honda should at least put some memory gel like the BadX seat mod on their stock seat. It wouldn't cost anymore and I like the styling of the stock seat but don't like sitting on plywood.
