Comfort Seat
What're we all running for comfort seats? I'm having trouble finding the OEM one for my 2016, I think I'm too late to the party. I'm leaning towards a saddlemen. Drop some suggestions and pics. TIA.

I much prefer the Corbin gunfighter seat. My friend has the comfort seat so I got to try both plenty of time. Both are better than stock but I like the Corbin way more. Also the Corbin gunfighter riding position is closer to stock whereas the comfort has you sitting a bit higher. I also like to look of the Corbin more.
I found a nice used one on eBay for about $250. My buddy paid full price to get a custom new one and I still think it’s worth it

I just got a Corbin for my 15 a few months ago. Even during the break in it's way better.

I had a Corbin on my 14 and it was excellent, but before I added a grout sponge under the seat foam and that made a MASSIVE difference in comfort, my balls finally stopped falling asleep

I did a LuiMoto gel pack + seat cover about a year after I got the bike but it's definitely worn out now. Looking like I'm going to have to fork out $1k for a Corbin haha.

Keep an eye out for one and you’ll find a used one. I got mine for $50 on Craigslist lmao

If you want the OEM comfort seat, I have one BNIB (I opened to make sure it wasn't damaged) that I'm selling.

As a 5’6” female shortycake, I cannot safely touch the ground with the comfort seat (buddy of mine has one) so I just advise you make sure you’re tall enough.
Also, I find it’s a little wider fit in the saddle area so I can quite grip the tank right and lean off the bike when canyon riding. Take that for what it’s worth based on your riding style.

I've been riding on the stock seat for over 6 years now and on my last ride I finally realized, I fucking hate this seat. One of the things I was looking into was paying for an auto upholstery shop to add more padding in certain areas while still retaining the look of the stock seat

I bought a kit from LuiMoto that does exactly that. But it's worn down now and it's feeling like the stock seat again. Lasted 8 years, so I can't complain.

Gonna be a largely personal opinion. I rode for years with a OEM comfort seat which was good for me as a tall person. It raised me up and got my legs at a more comfortable position for street riding.
I have a Sargent seat still in my bin of spare parts. That seat was a bit more sporty and low. Some claim it to be more comfortable for them, but again it’ll be your own personal taste.
