Hi,
Have any of you used the Reach Solo Seat from HD? I'm wanting to move a little closer to my handlebars, but don't really need to be any closer to the ground. It looks good in the picture. Zanottis has one for $108.00.

Thanks,
Barry

 

I switched to a seat from an 883Low. It brought me forward quite a bit. I like the seat. That custom 2-up does put you back a ways.

 

Hey Barry , I gave my Daughter a reach solo seat for Christmas.
Her bike is a 2001 XL883 which seems to be about the tallest sporty I've seen.
She's 5 foot 4" and I wanted to get her feet down and out wider at a stop.
The seat is perfect for this and the back of the seat is actually quite wide and comfy looking.
Since the holidays we haven't ridden,but it looks more comfortable than the stock 2 up seat.
It is actually fairly firm compared to the stock seat also.
Time will tell , but it seems like a good move for her.

I love mine. I'm about 5'4" tall and this seat has made me feel so much more comfortable on the bike. It will move you forward at least an inch toward the bars and foot controls.

 

I had one on my Sporty. It moves you just about an inch forward. I didn't notice I was any lower but the seat is narrower so your legs are closer together and I was able to plant my feet more firmly ont he ground. I am 5' 4".

 

I'm 5'8" and can sit flat-footed fine. I'm also okay with the handlebars except I have to hunch forward a little. I'm hoping the Reach Solo will move me close enough so that my back isn't killing me on long rides. From what you have posted here, I'll probably go ahead and get it.

Thanks,
Barry

 

I think it will probably work for you as long as you won't mind having your legs bent a little more when they're on the controls. Your dealer should be able to let you mount it on your bike so you can feel its fit before you purchase it. I think most dealers do that for seat purchases.

 

Give us a review when you get it

 

I have the Corbin Hollywood solo reach seat and love it. I am 5'1' and with the seat and progressive shocks to lower the bike 1 1/2" am now flat footed on my 1200.
