Default Looking for a seat

Looking for a good solo seat for my 07 RK.

Any suggestions which brand is most comfortable?

Everyone I know swears by Mustang seats.

Default Depends on how tall and wide you are

If you have long legs, then the Signature series solo from HD is perfect. If you have shorter legs like me, then Mustang has some great choices. There are so many to choose from and unfortunately, most dealers don't have a big selection so you might end up buying 2 or 3 before you find 'the right one'
By the way, if your tall, then I have a great unused solo with drivers backrest for sale.
pm me if your interested.

I have been looking at solos as well kind of like the Vintage Mustang Solo, looks like it might give a tad more stretch

I put a Corbin Classic Solo on mine. 'Firm' seat but very comfortable so far. Havnt haten it on any long rides, but have a ride coming up the end of the month that will test it out a little. Love the looks too.

I've got a friend with a RK that swears by the Cobrin solo. Felt kind of firm to me but he says he can ride for 6 or more hours a day and be fine.

I'm def looking for something with a backrest.

Thought the wife might ride with me so left the two up on. One 45 min ride let her know it's not for her so I'm going back with a solo seat.
