Plus 1 for mustang then I guess..... I know the corbins are hard but they strangely prevent soreness usually.... is mustang similar like that or is it softer?
 
Welcome and here we go again. You have some good options, Corbin and Mustang that have already been mentioned. I've had both with a Corbin on my 07 Classic that I loved. As Fingers pointed out, the Mustang is softer but the Corbin wears in and with the seat being leather.

Below are a few pics, the first being the Corbin on my Classic. It was a full seat but they also make it in a single. Great seat. The other two are of my R3T with the full touring seat/backrest and the Triumph solo seat which takes a backrest. These still become available.

And with a solo. Both on my Touring are Triumph seats and extremely comfortable.

Yes, the Russel Day Long is the Cadillac of seats, sometimes referred to as the "Road Sofa". Spendy but tops in quality and comfort. I toured their fabrication facility in northern California years ago.

In fact, there I am now. Look at that handsome young devil. I can't believe this pic was taken 12 years ago when I was 58. One of our forum members, Elcanaco and I had ridden to the Las Vegas Bikefest and we stopped on the return trip. He was riding a Harley Road Glide back then.

I think I feel really old now so I'm going to have some warm milk and go to bed.

I am looking at getting into Iron Butt rides. A bloke who has done loads of them gave me some advice so I thought I'd share it with you in response to your post.

Go for a ride. A long ride. Keep going until you feel like you want to stop. Fix the thing that made you want to stop so you can go further next time. Repeat.

Once you've done that a few times, you should have a very comfortable bike.

All the best with it.
