Default Need seat help...

I want to get a better solo seat for my 13 SB. The stock seat puts pressure on my lower back/upper a$$.. It almost feels like I need a seat that sits me just a little further back.. I'm looking at the bare bones, or mustang tripper. What do you guys think? Any one with these seats have any advice? Also, my lower back is jacked cause of a cager taking me out a year ago.. got another bike, now just trying to be comfortable while still looking good. Thanks!

I haven't tried either of those but I vote Sick Saddles. My seat is lower and puts me a bit back from the stock seat. The seat is also much more comfortable, I got the added memory foam.

Anyone know if the tripper puts you closer or further back than the stock sb seat? Mines a 2013 model..

I got a bare bones solo on my 08 custom and I love it. To me way better than the stock king and queen.

I have the tripper and love it. I can't compare it to the stock since I went 2 up when I bought it and hate that seat.
I have read that it might sit you a tad closer and definitely lower. I was also debating the bare bones for looks but decided the tripper looked similar with a little more comfort. Those sick saddles are pretty sweet but I think they take a while to get.

I know for sure that the mustang vintage solo seat puts you further back and is real comfy on the B-hind.

Tripper wide. thinner, shorter than factory, imo jury is out if it really sets you backwards, I think it is more the lower and thinner that is most noticeable difference, but very comfy for thin seat. I can do about 40 minutes before I shift in seat a little to air it out. They make a close version, but im short and the regular version is perfect in how far back I am. Any closer and I know I would have been unhappy with it.

I love my Sick Saddle. The stocker made me feel like I was sitting on my tailbone. No more. The Sick Saddle has done several 150 - 300 mile days without even a thought of discomfort.
