[QUOTE=wachuko;13452585]I should stop looking... Harley came out with this Bobber Solo Saddle (Part Number 52000180)







Looks amazing!!! And I could use it with my current spring set up or like above, without the springs (requires a different mount kit for that...)



Did you happen to get this seat? I'm resisting the urge to buy it but I'm concerned about how comfortable this is with being so thin.

No. I have not purchased that seat....but the springs is what makes it comfortable, is it not?

True but in my feeble mind, the foam would help make it more comfortable on your butt and the spring would help for uneven road conditions.

Does anyone know if you have to use the Harley mount for this or if there is an alternative that isn't 230.00 ha.
Either springer or rigid mount works as I'm not decided on which I like better

Thanks
