Default Harley Signature Solo Seat

Anyone tried one of these new comfy seats from Harley yet? Thinking of treating the bike for Christmas.

Yep!





Before the H-D Signature I was running a Mustang Vintage Solo with the Backrest. Now after reading all the positive feedback about the Mustang I decided to go that route. Now the Mustang is a very nice seat but it was just not for me. Having a Sundowner solo on the Street Bob before the Glide and then using a two up Sundowner on the Glide for a while I decieded to give the Signature Solo (same as the Sundowner) a try.

Love this seat. Went on a 300+ mile trip down to South Padre Island a few weeks back and had 0 problems being in the saddle for the trip there, around the island and the 300+ mile trip back. When I had the Mustang just a little 100 miler and I would be hurting.

Now I'm not saying the Mustang is a better seat the the Signature Solo. I'm just saying for me the Signature Solo is a better seat.

I would love to get this seat, just can't see paying for the adjustable backrest twice (already have one). Nice look and good to know that it's comparable to the sundowner.

I have the Signature Solo seat on my 2011 Street glide. It is the most comfortable seat I have used (8 Harleys so far!) The backrest adds to the comfort on longer rides. Your current backrest will not fit with the Signature solo seat, it is a different mounting system altogether.

I've got one on my 09 Ultra-- very comfortable, backrest is great, but I wish they would have covered up the backrest fore/aft adjustment screw with a cover of some description.
Coming soon to a store near you via the P&A catalog?

I have been riding with the signature solo seat for the last year. Very comfortable ride.

I have exact same SG. Seriously considering this seat. Could you include -a pic. of the rear fender- would like to see the look from that angle. Thanks

Looks like a comfy seat. Had a Mustang solo and was very comfortable, but the look wasn't for me. Went with C&C. Still have the Mustangs for real long trips though.
