What are my options at getting a better seat than the oem I have? Would luv to acquire a touring seat or a select...are they impossible to acquire now? Corbins...over priced and some say not that good...any help or advice would be great thanks.

You have 4 OEM options:
The stock seat (You probably have this)
The STT/Urban Assault Seat
The Touring seat
The Sport seat.

The first two are obtainable, but the last two are accessories, therefor discontinued.

You then have aftermarket seat makers like Corbin, Baldwin, Sergent and others. If you want to go that route, I recommend Baldwin.

You have at least one more option. Find a local seat maker. They can take the stock seat and shape it to fit as you like. I had that done while I waited in an afternoon, got to check it out on the bike as it was being shaped to really get the fit right. Price was much cheaper than other options too. Check with your local MC shops to see who they would recommend.

Is the TT seat taller? As comfortable as the stock seat or no? I'd like more leg room and not sliding forward all the time.
