Seat advice wanted

[DLK]

Im looking for a replacement seat for my 2012 1700 nomad. In reading the forums I find differing opinions On what seat dose what. I have found some say a mustang saddle moves you forward, but in the reviews at Dennis Kirk on the 76601 seat one reviewer says "The seat sat me back at least two inches from the stock seat".. Some say Corbin is further back, others not..
I have owned Corbin's, and mustang's in the past, and have found both comfortable after break in. I have no experience with day long or any others.
I am 6'4" and find my position ok, back would be ok but definitely don't want to be moved forward to the tank.
Any first hand knowledge would be greatly appreciated, I would hate to spend all this money just to hate it.

Thank you
Dan

At 5' 16" , I would go with the Corbin, it will put you back and 1/2 to 1" or so lower. You'll feel more like being in the bike not on the bike as much as these bikes will allow you to feel.

Hope it helps.
