Lots of seats are good for a coupla hunnerd miles. The proof comes in between 600 and 1000 miles. I have found that a firmer seat is much more comfortable on a long trip.

I had a Mustang on my RK but it wouldn't fit on the Ultra. I gave it to Steve and decided to try a Corbin. Good decision on my part.

I found a Zepplin seat for $100 on craigslist...of course by the time I replied it was gone. The guy sold the bike but has the seat along with some stock take-off parts that you HAD to take with the seat.
I think I'll just keep trying more miles, and get an airhawk as a backup.

Some people don't like the Mustang touring saddle because it does sit you up a bit higher, and some complain they cant' touch flat footed. For that reason they may prefer Corbin as it sits you lower and for more $$$ you can customize and even make it lower, I think. The Mustang touring saddle is not an issue for me with a 32" inseam.
Ben, I thought you were taller than me,... you'd probably have no issue with it either. Corbin does make a very handsome saddle, though, and you can customize highly. In the end, its pretty much what Dinero says: everyone is built different. People have different sit bones. With either saddle, if you're going to do long miles, I'd suggest a backrest.

I'm 6'5", so reaching the ground flat footed isn't a problem at all. It's just my butt bones....and I do have a rider's back rest. As jacked up as my back is, I can't do more than a couple of miles w/out it.
