Stock seat issues - I don't like sliding backwards with acceleration
I slide on the stock seat of my 07 Sportster whenever I accelerate quickly. Am I correct in guessing that a solo seat with more of a bucket-shape will suppress this?
Recommendations?

I have the same problem on my 08. The custom seats that are out there seem to be a little more "dished" and have more support on the backside. It looks like that might keep you nestled in a bit better.
I just bought a Drag Specialties custom seat and when I get it and put it on I will post here on how it works.
Or.....try that spray on glue.

When I had a Sportster the seat was the first thing I replaced.
