JMHO, Nothing is better then the RZ seat - NOTHING. All other seats are static which means the surface area doesn't change at all. Pressure points stay the same. RZ seat can be infinitely changed so there is no set pressure point. I've had 2 RZ seats, one for the older bikes and the new model I have now that I switch from bike to bike.

Even without the air bladders, I feel the design of the RZ seat a lot more comfortable than the stock seat because it is so much wider which means more support area.

Unless you can exchange the seat if you don't like it after a couple months (which is about how long it takes to see if you really like it), buying an aftermarket seat can be very expensive if you have to go through multiple seats to find the correct one.

If you don't plan on long distance trips, buying an aftermarket seat is throwing away money - IMO.

Before buying any seat, at least take it for a test ride.

Other than your mufflers, the seat is the biggest/most important decision you will make.

Good luck.

Forgot to mention, the RZ seat will sit you a little bit closer to the front. You can still raise/lower the height.

+1 on Mustang. First Mustang seat I had was on a 2000 Road King. Wife and I both loved it. 5 years later traded the RK for a 2005 CVO Electraglide and transferred the Mustang seat from the RK to the Electraglide.

Rode it for 7 years with the same Mustang seat. That's 12 years and 118K miles on the Mustang seat. Traded the 2005 for a 2012 Victory Cross Country Tourer. Mustang didn't have a seat for the Victory at the time so bought an Ultimate seat. It was good but maybe not as good as the Mustang. Traded the Victory in for my 2015 Freewheeler.

Mustang didn't have a seat yet for the Freewheeler so I upgraded to a HD Sundowner Seat and even had a gel pad added to the seat. Not good. As soon as Mustang came out with a FW seat I bought one and butt has been happy since. Also have a Mustang seat on my '79 FLH Harley. I think Mustang seats are hard to beat.

Had a Mustang years ago. OK but not spectacular for us. Janiene likes the pass seat part of our redone seat, but the front is getting hard on me. Ordered an AirHawk pad. will see how that works. Thanks for your suggestions
