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).

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:
