Wide Glide seat
I just bought a new 2011 Wide Glide and I'm looking for recommendations on a good solo seat. I don't plan on doing a 3k mile bike trip right off the bat, but getting a bad case of the stock seat numb *** is not for me.
Any suggestions?

I have a C&C Fastback 2up with the gel option and for the rider, it is just plain awesome.....extremely comfy and great lower back support. For the passenger not so much so you might as well call it a solo. It moves you back and down about an inch each way so if you're tall, it helps a lot too. Check out my album for a few pics.

Seats are really hard to give opinions on since every rider is different. I have only tried 3 seats, 1 stock ( no comment its stock ), 2 is a saddleman and it was real hard since they use gel not foam, and 3 is my mustang seat. Every bike i have owned always got a mustang seat. Very comfy, well thats my opinion.

I fitted the Mustang Vintage Wide without the Detach Backrest about a month ago and although it's well padded I seem to find myself sitting on the stitching where the back of the seat starts to angle up so I keep needing to move forward. I'm 6'2" which is not overly tall but I'm thinking I need to extend my forward controls a few inches now to put me in the right spot. Trouble is, I'm not aware of any such extensions available sowill probably go back to my stock for a while.
