Default Solo seat will bring you forward

After I installed my forward control, I was riding in the city for a couple of weeks no problem. Yesterday I had a chance to take it for a longer ride, put 100miles and my back hurts, I thinking I am leaning my upper body forward, wonder if there is a solo seat that will bring you forward a bit. 07 SB here thanks!

My solo seat actually moves me back a bit compared to my 2-up seat. I have HD Sundowner seats.

Most standard solo seats move you down and back. The so called reach seats will move you forward. There is no rule of thumb.

Contact C&C seats and tell chuck what you want. Awesome people, service and seats. My solo sits me back and low an inch, but he will make what you want.

I put a Mustang wide vintage solo on my FXDC, it moved me forward and up, I like the seat but now my HD quick disconnect compact windshield is to low.

Hey, I do have a Mustang wide vintage solo on my Fatboy, love the seat. How much does it bring you forward?

If I remember right, my fatboy vintage solo also move me back and up a bit. I guess the SB seat is different, does anyone have a SB and switch from stock to wide vintage? Thanks

Do you mean the Mustang Vintage solo? I have a '06 FXD and am 6'1". I want a seat to move me back some. Even though I don't like the look of the Tallboy I bought it and it actually felt like it moved me forward so I'm back to stock.
