After trip of 250 or so miles on C50 I feel that better seat (for added comfort) is needed. Any suggestions as to best seat to get?

For comfort the Mustang can not be beat..... But comfort doesn't come cheap.....

Check out custom seat shops in your area. I had mine done at a shop in Seattle and the results were great. For $395, he used the existing pan, molded new foam to lower the seat for better riding position and formed it to fit my shape and posture. On top of this went a nice thick gel pad. Then he added 3 inches to the front of the pillion and shaped that for lower back support. Because there's plenty of material on the stock seat, I got away with using the original material which cut the cost as well.
This is the best way to go if you can find a shop.
Good luck!
