Default Solo Spring Saddle

Anybody have the Solo Spring Saddle from Harley on their Dyna? I think it looks pretty good, was wondering how the ride is on it?

I'm not trying to hijack your thread, just a small detour of topic...

Hey Iskra, I like the sissy bar in your sig pic. Who makes that? It's not the new HD one-piece is it?

Ok, sorry for the interruption and now back to your regularly scheduled forum post.

Got one on the way for the Low Rider--will report back in a few days. I know it's hard as a board, but I just can't get the look out of my head. I just hope it's not as uncomfortable as I think it's going to be!

That is a pic of my bike, and I suppose "shitty" is a matter of opinion, because I think it rides fine.

If I end up getting one I think I will go with 2" springs, it looks like it sits up to high on the frame for my likeing.
