Default Low Pro Seat for '14 FXDB

Okay guys what are my options? I been looking around and not really happy with what I'm finding. Already tried a Le Pera Silhouette and it was about as soft as a cinder block not to mention shaped all wrong. Liked the looks of the Corbin Hollywood Solo but they show no application for my bike. Weird because they have +06 Dyna section and the Bob isn't included in fitment. So that being said what are some ideas? Looking for low and comfy. Lower and narrower (on the sides) than the factory seat. Shape is more what I'm after. Owned a Corbin previously. It was kinda hard but I could ride all day on it since it was shaped correctly. Looking for some guidance.

The Corbins identified as "Dyna '06-up" will fit the Street Bob.

Also, look at Sick Saddles, very cool seats, well made and good prices.

The seats in the Dyna-Glide section are the ones you want, see picture.

Mustang WIDE Tripper is a badass solo. I had the narrower day tripper, but wasn't enough for me(didn't know they made a wider version).

Rode my buddies with the wide tripper and it's very comfy and keeps you pinned to the saddle!

I also have a Saddleman Renegade solo w/ gel and it's my most comfortable solo!

Best looking I think is the Danny Gray Butt Crack.

You are reading their site wrong, I have a Hollywood Solo on my 2014 Street Bob. It will fill the requirements you describe. It's not on the bike in the photos in my gallery but if you need a shot I will take one for you. I've been a Corbin user for years . . . the seats work well for me and my body, so I'm cool with it comfort wise. Their customer service and quality control . . . SUX! Don't put up with their crp if you go that route! IF you can take a couple days to ride there and have them fit the seat in person you will be ok. If you order from them, it's hit or miss. They REALLY don't give a damn if you are happy or not these days. I raised hell after two seats not fitting correctly . . . they finally acknowledged an issue with the old mold (supposedly) so they are sending a third my way. I don't have much hope it will be better than the other two but the seat is working out great as far as comfort. I'm still using one that I had to modify to work until they get the 3rd one to me. To let you know how much their customer service sux these days . . . they have an F rating with Better Business Bureau in Florida and a D in California. BUT when they get the seat right . . it's a hell of a seat.

I guess I was lucky with mine. It fits and I like the firmness of it. A comfortable saddle to me. If you really like the Corbin give them a call.

Thanks for all the info guys. I called Sick Saddles and spoke with Ed. Seems very nice and great customer service. Ordered me up a black leather seat. Can't wait to get it!

Bought my solo seat from them, and am happy so far. Comfortable and looks great.

I second the Mustang Wide Tripper. I have the same seat and it's low pro and comfy! I got it with the optional back rest for longer trips and it's amazing! Also got the passenger pillion with it and the girl liked it.
