Default Solo Seats
I know comfort is on the *** of the beholder, but wanted to see if people can give me their preferred choice of solo seat and why. I am looking to replace my stock seat with a nice comfortable solo seat. I would appreciate it if you also note how much it pushes you forward or back and by how much.


Thanks in advance...

I haven't had a chance to ride on one but I like the look of the Harley solo saddle. I have been told it is a pretty comfortable ride and it looks good too. Only down side is the seat is $250 and the mounting kit is another $250.

The best seat I've tried so far is the Mustang Vintage solo. I don't think it changed my seating position so much that I notice it.

Sicksaddles.com, low profile, surprisingly comfortable, great workmanship and at $99 shipped I would challenge anybody to find a better deal.

Mustang Wide Vintage w/backrest
Moved me about two inches forward, so I had to install +3" forwards. Life is good now though!

Mustang Vintage Solo. It sits you back a little further and down than stock. It seemed like I was sitting on my gas tank with the stock seat.

Definitely not comfortable for anything more than bar hopping but looks so much better than stock. My bike is slammed so that doesn't help either. I commute about 43miles to work and if there is traffic involved, I have to tilt my weight between butt cheeks sometimes to make it there. HAHA!!!

For a comfy seat I vote Mustang solo, for look I really dig my stock SB solo seat, it looks and feels good.
