     G'day guys,

    I'm a big lad, 120kg+ and I want to make a change from the good looking but uncomfortable tractor seat that I have now.

    Can other wide bodies give me some ideas for a comfy saddle?  I'm not bothered about 1 or 2 seater, I just want to be able to get off after a couple of hundred kays without feeling like shit.

    Cheers...

     Sorry, I can't seem to get the photo out of Photobucket, its always hated me...

    There are some pics in the "Show Us" section if you want, or you could just tell me a good seat...

    The Mustang Vintage Solo seems pretty popular as far as comfy seats go. I think a couple of the guys on here have them.

    Slap.

    Mate...same prob. Solved mine by getting a Sundowner deep bucket touring seat. Also, another important thing to realise is that the foot position also has an important part to play in seat comfort. I mainly do long rides without any probs. Good luck.

    Thanks guys.
    Had a quick check of the Sundowner but I think I like the look of the Mustang Vintage Solo.

    I will give it a try and see how it goes...

    Hmm. I don't hate that Sick Saddle but I'm not sold on it. Underneath me, it would look like my arse was poking its tongue out...

    Just paid for the Mustang through M&M Cycles, $280 USD including shipping, I couldn't find it any cheaper here in Oz outside of a couple of dodgy looking Ebay ones...

    Will see how long it takes to get here...
