I took my stock seat to car upholstery shop. Told them what I wanted. They replaced stock foam which is junk. Also put gel pads where I wanted padding. It didn't change the look but much more comfortable. Cost me under $100
Have you looked into a sick saddle seat. That's the seat I have on the wide glide and it's a really comfortable seat. I also have the HD brawler, for some reason I just can't get used to it. I'd like to try the bare bones seat just to sit lower on the bike. Brawler is the 1st pic, sick saddle is the 2nd
I come here to the forum like most of you to get advice and to share some of my own experiences...
So here it is... Seats!! ... specifically Solo Seats...
I'm bleeding money over here and have not yet found what I am looking for...
Lets face it the stock seat sucks... (I think a 2x4 with a paper towel wrapped around it would be an improvement)
So here is what I have purchased and NOT liked so far...
First off, yes what it looks like matters!!! Don't kid yourself... These are Wide Glides...
#1 Seat: Mustang Regal Duke... $232
Not a bad looking seat (that chopper look) but it put me 2" higher and 2" forward... Awkward So i returned it...
cost to return $47
#2 Harley Davidson Sundowner Solo $249
This thing is gross looking when on the bike... All the added padding is in the front of the seat... Huge and Bulbous... I need padding for my A## not on my D---!
This one is NOW on eBay for sale for $200 plus shipping...
#3 I just ordered the Mustang Classic $229
Awaiting its arrival...
I want to sit "IN" the bike not on top of it... It's why I bought a Wide Glide to begin with...
There simply is not enough pictures of seats from you gentlemen for me to make a good decision and I don't think the wife is happy with all these seats/money flowing out of our house...
I am enclosing the photos I have taken of the stock seat and the Regal Duke...
I did not take a photo of the Sundowner as I couldn't wait to remove the damn ugly POS...
Frustrated boys and your help would be appreciated!!!
Or should I just suck it up and keep the stock seat?
Thank you

Have you considered the Mustang Fastback? I have done 400 mile trips with no problems. When I first installed it I felt like I was sitting a tad higher than stock but after about 500 miles or so, it broke right in and I love it.
