Default Solo Seat Recommendation

Hey everyone, I have a 2010 FXD Superglide with a Mustang Seat on it. Seat is comfortable, but I want a solo seat that doesn't have the hump/back support on it. I'm 6'2" and bike has mid controls. The backrest on the Mustang Seat doesn't allow me to sit back far enough, feel kind of cramped. I live in New Mexico and planning to ride it to California, shouldn't be any issues correct? Looking for recommendations on a long distance solo seat with no hump/back rest. Thank you.

5'-11" with this seat. Signature photo.



Takes a couple hundred miles to break in but then best seat I've had... decades... several bikes.
Don't feel cramp, but can't say for 6'-2". They'll have one for your bike.

I had one of these on my 07 Street Bob. Best seat I ever used on any bike I’ve owned.
I also really like the Sundowner seat from Harley, but I don’t know if they make a solo version.

@Bart2112
Here's a side view that might help you decide if the seat is for you. The folding backrest is off. That's a round tool bag mounted behind the seat. Tool bag doesn't interfere with the backrest. hth

Check the piece of fender your fixing to expose, make sure it won't offend you.
corbins are the best seats I've ever owned.
