how does the 08 seat fit on your 01 did u haveto change it or anything, any pics? most seats are for 06 and newer or 05 and older. im 5'10 my bars are 12s with a 1.5 riser. i love em they sit a lil below my sholders and are super comfy, 1000 times better than the stalk bars n pullback risers

I have the C&C 2 Piece Solo, Lepera Silhouette Solo and a Saddlemen Renegade Solo for the 06 SB.

C&C Solo is about the most comfortable for overall use. Saddlemen Renegade is great for longer rides.

The earlier Saddlemen Renegade Solo seats are a completely different seat than the 06 and later.

The Saddlemen for your year is a Sporty Lo Profile seat that looks great and has good back support. There are a few here but I haven't seen pic's of them lately.

I have a Mustang Tripper on my 09 FXDL. It's a very comfortable seat and I don't have any problems with sliding off the back.

Sounds like those LePera's have quite the rep when it comes to being uncomfortable
+1 on that. When you look up uncomfortable in the dictionary, they used a pic of my silhouette solo for the example. Looks great on my wide glide and that's why I bought it.

I bought a Corbin Classic Solo off ebay that I really like for the Fat Bob. It didn't have the backrest hardware. . . so I ended up ordering a new one with the hardwar because I like using the backrest every now and then (I have a Corbin Dual Tour and a backrest) and I have a bag that slips right over the backrest tightly and it's sort of cool to use that that way.

I recommend the Classic Solo, it's comfortable and looks great. Love leather seats.

The Lo Pro in a little more like the Lepera Bare Bones in a Minimalistic seat. The 2 Piece has a little more area for your butt and a little back support.



I know there are a few riding Lo Pro's that can supply pic's.
