Not sure you are going to think the prices are fair...  but Mustang is a great seat, Ultimate X is a great seat, and some like the Corbin seats, too.  Mustang may be the best price out of those listed.  I own a Mustang when riding two up and love it and a Corbin Young Gun seat for solo riding.  It's hard as hell but looks good...   ;D

BadX seat mods may be an option for your stocker, too.  I have no experience with them though.  Hope that helps.

This is on the OA, I, too, like the Ultimate best and the Mustang second, however, this is a pretty good deal on a solo Corbin... http://www.vtxoa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=263686&p=2520760#p2520760

Yeah, I have to agree...the problem with your question is we don't know what you mean by "good" and "fair."  I have 4 seats right now, and I swap them out a bit...  I have a Corbin solo that I really like, a Corbin fast gun that's pretty ok, a California slammer that's reasonable for very short trips, and an Ultimate Big Boy that's the most comfortable by far..but the most expensive and the ugliest.

I personally have an Ultimate and I love it. If you're wanting to save some dough you might try the for sale section of the national board. There are often after market seats for sale for way less than new.

I have a stock seat that I sent to Badx to beef up for me. The seat felt fine, but wasn't any better than my ultimate, so I put the ultimate back on. I have been hanging on to the Badx thinking that someday my ultimate will need some new foam and I would use it while the Ultimate is getting redone.

I can send you my BADX seat to try out. If you like it, I'll sell it to you for what it cost me to have Bad X redo it plus your stock seat. I'll have to look around to verify, but I think I paid BADX $130 + shipping.

Let me know.  ;)

+1 on used seats.  All four of the seats I own were on other bikes first.  2 I got off the VTXOA, 1 from the Texas X, and 1 on a bike that I bought to re-sell.

I sent him the stock seat that I had badx put memory foam in. He's gonna try it. Keep it if he likes it. If he doesn't like it, he's out $15 to ship it back and he will still be in the market for a seat.  O0

By the way Mark, I can't remember if I drilled that seat for mounting with push pins or not. ALSO, you will have to use your bracket to mount the passenger seat to the seat sent.
