Yes, yes it does move you both down and back. Any decent dealer will have at least one of the plain, stitched, or brown versions in stock. Easy to sit on one... It's also the same seat (aside from the cover material) that the CVO Street and Road Glides use.
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?
Thanks and welcome
It really doesn't move much, but it does slide a little bit. There's 1/4" maybe 1/2" if I remember correctly.
It depends on many factors: back condition, cushion on your rear end, road conditions, speed, highway pegs, etc. I have a good back, minimal cushion on my rear end, road conditions are varied, and speeds up to 100, for what that's worth, and have highway pegs as you can see in the photos. If you have stock suspension, it's a lot longer than if you have HD Premium forks upgrade and aftermarket rear shocks. If I could guess I'd say couple hours and 1.5 hours respectively.
As you know, stopping more frequently and walking around can help out your tolerable distances. At one point I got used to the solo seat and would rode on it for 5 hour rides and had no hotspots during or soreness after the ride. I did make more frequent adjustments while riding to stay comfortable. I had the solo seat on for several months and then when I threw the stock seat on to take a passenger, it was a pretty significant difference.
You will definitely have better road feel on that seat

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.
Yes, you will slide back in on the RunAround. I'm not sure when, but at some point it became a non-issue. I love to do burnouts and do holeshot takeoffs. I think what happened is I just started to squeeze the tank with my legs or something. It has become an involuntary thing now.
One thing I'd like to point out is that the reason the RunAround puts you sooo far back is that you don't have the rear lip. Which is exactly what I like about it and why it does feel unnerving, until you get used to it. It's not like your going to dump yourself of the bike though... unless you have some serious mods (& nitrous) HA
