What does your butt say? Corbin, Sargent, Day-Long (Russell), or other?
I’ve had 2 Corbins on my last 2 bikes going back 30 years and they were great. But they were surprisingly heavy. I just got a new bike and its stock saddle is awful. I need a replacement. In case it matters the bike is a 2017 BMW R1200 GS Adventure (why are stock BMW saddles awful, BTW? Rhetorical question, let’s not go there).
I’ve ridden some long(ish) distances, but not extreme long distances: I’ve done 5-6 Saddle Sore 1000s [➜ https://ironbutt.com/themerides/ssseries ■ ] but never submitted the paperwork. I did them just to do them. My farthest ride was 10+ years ago, a 2 week business trip to St. Louis, I rode out and back from San Francisco. Other long rides were from San Francisco to:
Denver (2007 World Series);
to Phoenix (business trip);
to Fort Sill OK (artillery training);
to Camp Pendleton (more artillery training).
And I just put 900 miles in the Philippines on a rental.
So, some longer rides but nothing too extreme.
As I near the end of my riding years (I’m 65) I want to do another legit Iron Butt ride just to get the stupid paperwork and license plate frame so I can have the documentation.
So what does your butt say? Corbin, Sargent, Day-Long (Russell), or other?

900 miles ≈ 1400 kilometres

“Saddle” is that what they call biker wives these days?

I have a Russell Day long with the seat warmer on my R100, it's the single best thing I've done to the bike for long rides.

That’s them. I had one on my vstar, and one on my Honda. I don’t know that they cover anything but cruisers, but if they do it’s pure butt comfort
