I've had mine for about 5 weeks - 825 miles. It is comfy and has alot to do with the seat probably. I had an 05' Softail standard prior to this for two years and rode with a LePera Bare Bones solo and T-Bars. My butt hurt much more on the Standard after 100 miles, but the riding position was much more comfortable for me (I'm 5' 11"). As soon as I can get the same solo for this bike, it's going on there and I can really compare the two bikes. This stock seat is an excellent 2 up seat though. Very soft and comfy - the missus really likes it. It puts me too far foward and up on the tank too much though, for my "every day" liking. The solo will take care of that (along with the planned T-Bars). But, the stock seat is going to be used for all long trips and passenger riding - it's a keeper. Maybe some Ness extensions would make the stock seat a little better though for taller rider's. I know that I like to be stretched out more than I am right now.......
