ive been waiting around for biltwell to make a smooth solo seat for the 48. I emailed them, messaged them, ect...no plans on making one was what I was told. I didn't want one with the checkered pattern or stripes, I just wanted it smooth and simple. last week I was surfing around and checked their site and there it was! so I ordered it. recently ive been riding on a nice "frame on" seat by mother road customs that's looks cool as hell but after 150 miles can make you shed a tear when you hit a pothole or a bump. the seat arrived & I put the biltwell on this morning, i'll take a trip to Montauk Saturday to road test it. about 225 miles round trip. first 3 pics are the new biltwell smooth sporty 8 seat and the last 2 are of the mother road customs "frame on" seat. I took the stickers off the oil tank and removed the sissy bar to clean up the bike a little, a 7" headlight & a rear fender chop and i'm done...

 

The Biltwell seat looks good. What are its dimensions?

just a side note:
obviously it fits the 48 & the 883. I have an 883 tank on my 48.
corbin's 48 solo seat wont fit my 883 3gal tank they told me, only the 2 gal tank.

Fitment: This seat is a direct bolt-on for 2010 – 2015 Sportster models.

Construction: Vacuum-formed ABS plastic pan with molded polyurethane foam padding. Hand-sewn heavy-duty black vinyl cover with polyester thread. Plated steel mounting brackets.

 

does it hold you in place better than stock? im always sliding back off the line on my stock 48 seat
