Can you recommend a GOOD touring seat for an '09 XL1200C ?

Hi- I'm a noob at this and just got my first HD , an '09 XL1200c. JUst got back from our first longer ride ( 370 miles R/T ) this past weekend and my butt/tail bone absolutely requires a new/different touring seat if I am gonna be able to attempt another ride of over 100 miles, one way. the Standard saddle seems to pan out after about 60 miles and will restore, somewhat if you get off the bike for a while...but not enought to save my sorry butt from eternal soreness. I am a big guy, 276# . 'Would appreciate any recommendations!

Mustang. Some guys swear by Corbin. Some swear by them 'after you break it in'. I've never heard of anyone who wasn't completely pleased with a Mustang. And no break-in needed.

I'm about your weight and have a Mustang Wide Touring on my FXRT and love it. My bud has one on his WG. He loves his too. Another bud has one on his E-Glide. It's unanimous.

Touring seat for an XL1200C

Thanks for the recommendations. Your advice is certainly parallel to all that I have read and as soon as my Bank Acct. can handle a little "leakage", I am headed to Mustang land and a wide touring seat. Thanks again & safe roads to you all.
