Best (most comfortable) saddle for Gold Wing 1500

The saddle on my 1989 GL1500 is getting pretty sad, and I would like
to replace it.

What is this august group's opinion of the most comfortable (for long
trips) aftermarket saddle available?

Price isn't really an object within reason (I'm probably unlikely to
spend $2000 for a saddle for a bike whose market value isn't more than
maybe twice that).

I can't tell you what is the absolutely most comfortable, but both
Corbin and Mustang are excellent. I never had any complaints from
customers who had laid down their hard earned money for either.
(I did have some complaints concerning the cost of Corbin seats.)

I personally have a Corbin seat on my old XV920RH, but it is now 20
years old and still feels like new to my butt. (Mike Corbin did a
custom job for me, before he got so "big".) Before the custom seat
job, I had tried numerous avenues for 4 years, to keep my butt from
going numb after only 50 miles. After the custom seat job, I lost my
deep pile sheep skin. I can now make 200 miles before stopping for
gas and a rest.
..
The fellow who started and owns Mustang, was working for Corbin
back when my seat was made. On the phone, he told me that he is the
one who probably actually did the work on my seat. Mustang seats,
while not cheap, are excellent in terms of support and comfort, and a
lot less expensive than Corbin seats.

Good morning, Jim.

Unfortunately I just discovered (and received an email from Mustang
confirming) that Mustang doesn't make seats for Gold Wings. :-(

It's beginning to look like Corbin is the only game in town, except
for a couple of custom rebuilders someone else here mentioned.

Oh, well... :-\

 

Corbin is the only game in town for GL1500 saddles? No way.
The Gold Wing has probably more saddle makers than any other
single bike model. Here are just a few of the highest rated
saddle makers for the GL1500:
