I've been very happy with the work Russell https://www.day-long.com/ did with my seat, I can ride for hours in comfort.

My wife and I are pleased with our Tom Simmons seat. He modified our stock seat to fit us and did a great job.
Very comfortable!

I have an Ultimate mid rider with the rider and passenger backrest. Love it. Be safe and enjoy the ride. Larry

We had a Diamond on our 1500 made for us and loved it. Was fabric, but not velour, and sat cooler in the summer and warmer in the cold. We picked up a Hartco (made by the same folks as Diamond) - It was, according to the person I got it from, made for someone my size and weight. I find it a lot more comfortable than the stock seat, but it is vinyl, and Gloria is set on sitting on fabric. We will most likely end up with another Diamoned as we have had good experiences with that brand. I have been on Tom Simmons, Wingsoft (they modify stock seats) and Ultimate seats, and found them comfy on the short (less than 3 hours) rides I had on them.

Corbin. Second Goldwing with a Corbin. We did 75,000 miles on the first bike (two wheeler). Just got the corbin for my newly acquired 2008 Goldwing/CSC trike.

We had a Corbin on the 1500 when we got it. I thought it was good, Gloria absolutely hated it. We ended up keeping it as nobody would buy the thing. Put it back on the GL1500 when the insurance company picked up the trike when they totaled it after our little unpleasantness.
It seems there is no middle ground when it comes to the Corbin seat on a 'Wing. People either hate ot or love it, and it seems more folks are in the latter camp. It is very hard, but I like that for distance riding. A soft, cushy saddle feels good in the showroom, but where it counts on the road for hours it gets uncomfortable.

Russell Day Long

A friend of mine told me a couple of years ago that if I googled Russell Day Long seats I wouldn't find any negative comments anywhere. I did and he was right.
I got one and, two years later couldn't be happier.Six long days in a row on the trike and it felt great.
They use your factory seat pan, use their own (patented, I believe) foam and have you send pictures of yourself on the bike and measurements so its built just for you.
I'll never ride anything else!

Corbin here! 2nd Corbin I've owned (first was on a HD Low Rider)...never had a problem with aches and pains like I did with the OEM seat.
