I bought my first bagger because my back is starting to get bad after a surgery about ten years ago. The factory seat is ok but I'm wanting a solo also that will not hurt my back. I have a saddle man now but it kills me to ride anytime at all. Really looking to see if anyone is in the same boat and could recommend a good solo seat for someone with a bad back. Low saddle with a high rise back yet still looks good. Maybe I'm asking too much I don't know but I have to ask. Thanks for any help I may get I guess I should add that I have a 12 street glide. So that would probably help with the suggestions lol

 

I am running a Mustang Super Solo with the optional backrest. It does not look as good as the CVO seat, but I have a jacked up back and the CVO seat was not cutting it. It is taller than the CVO seat, but probably not much more than the standard SG seat (CVO seat is pretty low profile). It has helped my back a lot.

 

I ride with a Corbin classic solo and backrest and have had a bad back for many, many years. I have comfortably ridden many long trips with this seat, the longest being from south Texas to the arctic circle and back. I am a big Corbin fan. Good luck.

 

I'm another vote for the Corbin classic solo with an ovalbak back rest. The instructions on adjusting the backrest pretty much suck but the seat is the best I've ever had.


I have friends that swear by the mustang solo and hate the Corbin. We can offer solutions but it may take you a couple tries to find the one that really works for you.

Good luck on the search!

 

Mustang solo with backrest.. On any trip more than 100 miles I wear a wide Kidney belt and it really helps keep my back straight and keeps me from slouching in my seat .. Good luck from a messed up back .

 

I am another with a bad back. I have a 14 ultra limited stock seat, my back hurt every time I got on it. I added a back rest and that was the ticket. After riding several hundred miles all I get is a little saddle sore, back is fine.

 

I keep saying this, Ultimate seat. Best one I have ever had and they give you a trial period to make sure you like it.
