personally I don't care for the look of exposed rear shocks and seat springs, but thats just me. you might try to fit a Cross Bones seat on it. probably would need some fabricating to make it work. also could find an air glide seat off of a retired Road King Police on ebay

Ive got a complete setup for sale that installs in about 5 minutes. I made a diamond plate cover that the seat mounts to and then bolts up using the four screws....two for the battery cover and two for the electrical box. I like it but my wife has been riding with me and likes the stock seat with the passenger pillion. I can post pics later if you are interested. The seat is nice leather...and it's got three inch spings...cover is made of diamond plate and the seat totally attaches only to the plate. I gotta run for now but let me know if you want pics. Thanks

I tried on my bike, A Utlima Solo seat in leather, 2" Springs, didn´t like it.

Don´t like the looks, to much "space" between frame and seat, it looks much better on a rigid frame. It also felt unstable when sitting on it.

I Like the seat but mounted it directly on the frame for the looks.
