Default Looking for Solo Seat, Lower and Further Back than Stock

Like the title says, I am looking for a solo seat that is reasonably comfortable for short day rides. I have a Mustang Summit seat for longer distance rides. I want something that is a bit lower and at least an inch back from the stock seat. I looked at the Mustang Solo Tripper but when I spoke to the rep on the phone he said it's similar to stock. The Super Solo is further back but an inch higher than stock.

Would be going on a 17 RG
Anyone have any suggestions?

Mustang Runaround

Its the lowest and furthest back seat from my reasearch. Honestly, not comfortable but you get used to the lack of plushness for the comfort of being so far back and lower down from stock seat position.

I think the seat looks really nice with the lines of the bike.




Threw in a stock seat photo for comparison

That looks awesome, thanks for sharing. From the looks of it you can slide forward or back slightly to adjust position. Would you say that is accurate? How long of a ride can you do before you have to call it quits?

I have an HD Brawler for my Roadking. It puts me low and back.

One more question about the RunAround for Sedonastrider. Do you slide back under hard acceleration or is there enough support?
That doesn't look like it would be an issue on the Brawler.

I understand that Saddleman makes a seat that fits your description exactly.

I went with the Harley Low Profile Solo Touring seat. I absolutely love it. I've tried C&C and Mustang solo seats and both killed my behind. I rode this solo seat to Myrtle Beach Bike Week 8 hours and was very comfortable. It looks great too.
Here is a link to a review I posted.

C&C Solo sits you down and back. I'm tall so it was good fit for me and I just happen to have it for sale. G/F is riding more now so I need a two up.
