In June I rode mine from Louisiana to New Jersey without any problems, and I rode about 8 hrs a day. I stopped in Atlanta,Ga the first night, then Fayetteville,NC the second night and was in New Jersey (the shore points) on the third night.

They are a little stiff when first installed, takes about a 1,000 miles to break in the springs, the seat and foam are real comfortable.

thanks steve-o: if they are that comfortable they might be worth the extra cash. I do know they look sharp!

Yes, SteveO, thanks! I don't find the stock seat "that" uncomfortable but really like the solo idea. And that seat sure looks great on your bike. I think that will be one of this winter's upgrades as I'm still recovering from buying the bike (and loving it--don't know why I went 20 odd years w/o a bike!).

Today I decided to start changing a few things on my bike:

Like adding the springs back onto the seat and removing the pillion pad seat. I plan on putting the fender rack were the pillion seat is/was, and possibly removing the backrest/sissy bar.

Other than the reinstalling of the seat springs the rest will be about form and function.

They are WAY more comfortable than you might think. Padding is good and the springs help. Couple of hundred miles a day is no problem.

Thanks for the input! Put almost 300 miles on today (six hours, more or less) and the base of my spine is pretty sore from the stock Low Rider seat.
