whats your solo seat model and brand? does it come with a passenger seat option??
Thank you!
The seat is a Saddleman http://www.saddlemen.com/index.php?_...o-seat-softail, no backrest that I know of.
The other seat I have is from Mustang, I ordered it with the "tuck and roll" stitching. It is available with a backrest and passenger pillion.
The Wide Tripper Solo.
Both nice seats, the Saddleman is stiffer though.

Does anybody know how tall a pull back riser you can run with the stock cables? My bike has 5.5" straight risers and it's a little too far a reach for me. I'd like to run something that's two or three inches closer.

The tank mounted gauges look great and I love having the analog tach but damn if they're not useless with a ff helmet on. My only complaint so far.

I must have good peripheral vision then, though it is hard to tell my exact speed the numbers are small and close together. No different than most cars, maybe you need a HUD.

Not sure why you're trying to argue my opinion with me, but cool!

It's no different on my Road King. Tank mounted gauges are harder to see at a glance than fairing mounted gauges. Nothing ground breaking there.
