I just returned from Sturgis and a 3700 mile trip with three great riders. I have a 2013 Ultra Limited and never ride two up. The stock seat was a lot like a cheap hotel in the fact it had no ballroom! I researched and bought two seats;HD Signature Solo and the Mustang vintage solo. I tested both seats and the HD won hands down, this was just personal preference, the Mustang was well built and a nice seat. While riding long and some hot days I did well, the new seat paid for itself. This trip was on my bucket list and at 66 I'm working on getting the list checked off. We rode to Sturgis, Deadwood, Bad Lands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, General Custer Park, Needles Highway, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado and The Rocky Mountain Park, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indian, Ohio and home to Kentucky. A great trip and the Harley ran like a clock, a loud clock!

Congrats on the trip!

 

Well done! Did it in 2001 with a good friend. One ride that I'll never forget.

 

I'm searching for a solo and there is so much choice.

How do you feel the Signature Solo positions you on the bike compared to the stock seat? Forward, back, up, down etc.....?

Thanks.

 

Ha! The Mustang is the better seat. You must have a different butt than I do.


Your trip sounds like a great time. Haven't been up there since 2004.

 

I'd like a picture and part number? Glad you had a blast, I was hoping to go this year myself but still not enough vacation time. Thanks for going for me

 

They say there's an *** for every seat. (This is intended as humor).

 

Man I need to make some new friends, I also live in NKY and want to take that trip one day. Congrats on crossing of the list.

 

It moves you back a little but not enough that you notice, however my "boys" noticed they had just a little more breathing room. Didn't effect how the controls felt or fit me at all. The backrest was much improved over my old set up. I bought both seat I tested used one from the forum and one from eBay for half of the new price and both seats were like new.

I commented the Mustang was a great seat, but everyone's butt is a little different. The HD backrest also seemed positioned better for me.
