Default Drag Solo seat

Anyone tried the "large" solo seat from Drag Specialties, what might be the thoughts on it?

TIA

s.r.

Any pics. I had one on a Sportster back in the late 70's that I liked. Not sure if it was the same.

Nice looking seat.
Mine was similar but with diamond stitching. Even with the springs it wasn't the most comfortable, but it wasn't horrible either. I was only in my 20's then so there's that, lol.

If that is route chosen I'm going to figure out how to put it on a t post. But I am concerned about my old less cushy ***.

Mother Road Customs sells tractor seats like that. Wide variety.

I’ve not seen a “plug and play” post mount that is available today, and I’ve looked. Will involve some fab work.

The police seat on my FLHP at 19” wide is really comfy.

Edit to add: I just realized this thread is in the shovelhead section.
