I had my V Rod hooked up with the touring seat and backrest, and also the mini-storage rack, and recieved favorable comments on it, even after long rides. I did 0ver 150 miles on mine, and that was with a sore back prior to riding. I can't stop riding her!!!! Corbin supposedly is still ironing out the quality fit of the v Rod tour seat, so I will wait a year, before spending Corbin cash, and get some wear on this seat, which looks great, and personally is very comfortable. No seat is perfect, you will get some sore saddles no matter what, unless of course you get some GEL seats.
