I'm in the same boat and am Leaning towards the Corbin Hollywood Solo. It's a bit more expensive than the LePera Barebones and Silhouette, but i think the extra $100 or so will be worth the low pro look and added comfort. Sounds like those LePera's have quite the rep when it comes to being uncomfortable

Check out the Danny Gray Buttcrack Design. I've got one on my FXDL and really like it.

totally correct.:icon_clapclap:

C&C seats has awesome seats as well. Small company in CA. Chuck's prices will beat anything that you can get from the major manufacturers and the quality is top of the line. http://www.ccseats.com/ If you use him, tell Chuck that Chad sent you.

I just installed the mustang vintage solo. Compared to the stock seat it has a deeper pocket and it sure is comfy.

thanks for the tips im leaning towrds the c&c now corbin and danny gray dont make any solos i like that fit, most of them are for 06 and newer

sundowner solo from harley,been thru two mustangs, and a danny grey,and whent back to the sundowner,best fit best comfort for me,

Danny Gray Badger Solo. A little slide back to the fender on a hard launch but not to bad. Also pretty comfortable.

i have an 08 street bob solo on my 01 fxdl and i love it. also not to thread jack but how tall apes and riser you got on your bike? and how tall are you? im about to put apes on mine and im just looking for a general idea of how tall to go.

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.

That's perfect. Im 5'11" and im getting 14 in apes wath a 1 in riser. And mo, I didnt modify anything. The seat isn't " properly" on the bike, bit it dosnt move and its in the right spot. I'll try to get pics up.

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.

If I could get that in a rider backrest version, I'd be all over it.

+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.

i have a corbin hollywood solo on the way, ill let you know how it feels when I ride with it...

after lookin around i have it down to a c&c... now to decide if i should get the lopro or reguler. its hard to see the big diffrence betwene the two...any help guys

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.

Thats one nice seat. Is it comfortable?

I actually spoke to Chuck Gallego at C&C via e-mail last week and below is an exact quote from him regarding the difference between the regular solo and the LoPro solo.

"The only difference is the cover, LoPro Solo has a 1pc cover, so it rounds-off the front edge of the lumbar.
the Solo has a seam, that has the squared-off look."

He is great replying to e-mails sent to him. If he did not tell me that he thought I was a bit too tall for his solo seat to not feel like it pushes me forward (very honest of him), I would have bought my solo seat from him. Hope this helps.

Goblin, fits like a glove. Rode to Daytona and back for bike week and had no issues, and that is with the seat being brand-new. If I buy any more seats, Chuck will be my guy.

after everyones advice i just ordered a c&c 2pc solo,leather red stitching and piping, ill post pics when it gets here in a few weeks. maybe my hd led headlight will finally get here too...i only ordered it a month an a half ago fml

thanks for the help
