Solo Seat

I'm looking for a comfortable Solo seat for my Street Bob that isn't as wide as hell. I take a lot of 200-300 plus mile trips and after 50-60 miles on the stock seat my fat *** is hurting!!! Any suggestions on a good looking seat that has enough padding to keep me from having a sore ***???

I've been very happy with my Mustang Tripper Solo. My first solo seat was a StreetBob stocker and then I got a Lepera Barebones Solo. Loved the look and even the feel of the barebones for the first 45 minutes to an hour. But that was as far as I could go on either of those first 2 seats. I haven't ridden 200 - 300 miles at a time on my Tripper yet but I don't realistically expect to be able to, comfortably, without stopping. Of course, somewhere in there, you'd need gas anyway. But, for its size, it's the most comfortable seat I've had and I've yet to get a sore *** on it yet.

Mustang makes their Vintage Solo in a wide and regular size….. I have the regular and I’m 240lbs and it fits me just fine.

Ditto FastFwd. I have the regular Mustang Vintage Solo. Same width as the stock SB seat on my '06. I don't know how long I can ride without a sore butt because the most I've ridden 4 hours without a problem.

The longest I could stay in the stock saddle without pain was about and hour.
