OK don't get me wrong, I love my Hammock seat for touring and riding two-up, but I've got to admit it's a little on the ugly side.
I recently taught my wife to ride and she's now got her own Sporty, so I'm doing a lot more solo riding. I'm thinking of a second seat for day trips and town cruising, one that's a little more compatible with the looks of the Street Glide.
I really like the looks of the Corbin Gunfighter and the La Pera Silhouette, but don't know how comfortable they would be after a few hours in the saddle. Also I don't want anything really low (I like the height of the Hammock). I am also considering just sending the stock seat to Mean City.
Feedback from anyone else who has gone this route would be appreciated.
I went with the Mustang Solo seat w/backrest. Then you have a choice of rear seats (and choice or sizes) for your passenger. I usually leave mine off for the good look and its only one screw to add it if and when I want to ride someone.
I sent mine off my 2016 SGS to Mean City and had them redo it. I liked the results and it was a lot cheaper than even a used seat.Transferred same seat to my 2017 SGS.
Thanks for the feedback. I like the look of the full length seat with a tapered back, but don't want to kill my butt. Most of my day rides are a couple hundred miles or so.
Got surprised with a Xmas bonus this week, may be going with the Le Pera Outcast.

If I were setting up my bike for strictly solo riding I think I'd go with the tractor style police saddle. I personally like the retro style and the consensus is they are extremely comfortable.
