I think your the same guy who's looking for a docking kit to be able to remove the tour pac and ride 1 up, right?My .02. The stock seat on my 06RKC was not comfortable, I bought a Sundowner and rode it for many happy miles. However, the stock seat on my 08 EGC has been great. It is comfortable for both me and my wife (have over 17k ont he bike), we finished an 2000 mile trip in August with no complaints. The quality is good too, IMO. I might not be as "fussy" as some guys, but the stitching is straight and holding, the leather is mainitaining its shape and color..what else is there? ride safe.
Your right, the saddle on the Classic is a good seat, I got a couple of buddy's that wouldn't change em for the world, but they aren't the best looking saddle when ya remove the Tour Pac. If your gonna go solo take a look at the Corbin, along with all the others.
Word to the wise though........the Corbin will require a break in period. My friend bought a new Corbin before we left CA for the 100yr Harley Celebration in Milwaukee. We went to Corbin in Hollister to pick it up and have some adjustments made to it. When we got to Walnut Creek (about 50 miles) he said he was going to "Take it back next weekend". I told him he needed to break it in and give it a chance. 2 weeks later we left for the Party. We rode 500+ miles a day. The first day I asked him how the saddle was treating him and he said "well it's not too bad" after the 2nd day his comment was "I think I'm gettn used to it" after the 3rd day he said "I didn't think about it". I didn't ask him anymore until we left Milwaukee for home. When we got back to CA I asked him what he thought of the Corbin now and he said "I could be a Poster Child for Corbin!" and in fact we made a special trip down to Corbin so my buddy could thank Mike Corbin in person. Out here in CA there are a couple of really fine saddle makers, Danny Grey, Corbin (I think they're in Florida too), and la Prea. Point is, most guys wouldn't think twice about spending 3-4 hundred bucks on a Recliner, for those doing distance riding, take care of your bottom, after your arms and hands, it's the next thing that will make you know you ain't treating it right.
