seats on softails?
I currently bike shopping, think I found a dealer I like and its time to move from the Sportster. Anyway after riding a Dyna Street Bob (that thing vibrates worse than a Sporty), Im sure I want a Softail now. I love the Deluxe but not sure how it would be on a long ride? I really like the custom but hate the 2 up seat (I ride solo) but like the motor finish and extra chrome. I was thinking of a Standard based on price and just adding parts to it. The actual question here is if I were to get the Custom could I put on a Standard seat or a solo seat with no sissy bar?

RE: seats on softails?
I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to. If you can't, I would have learned something as well. Maybe someone else knows something I don't. But I would think you would be able to change the seat on it without any problems. It would be pretty dumb for Harley to make a bike that you couldn't change the seat on.

RE: seats on softails?
Hi I am saving for an FXSTC currently and have done some research. There is no problem in fitting a solo. In fact if you go to the HD main website and click down through "motorcyle accessories" to the "customiser" you can view a brawler on an FXSTC - looks OK. LePera also do solos plus many others.

I've put 35K on my Deluxe in 2 1/2 years with a couple of 3000 mile trips. I usually make these trips with all the Geezer Glides. I have been using the Mustang solo seat for 30K miles and have found the backrest and seat to work out great.

The stock Deluxe seat was too comfy for me and I fell asleep four times with only two accidents....
...Just kidding. Stock seat is very plush.
I did change the seat though...
...see sig.

RE: seats on softails?
I had an '05 Sporty & hated the stock seat, got a Lepera seat which was an improvement, but it still there was not enough backsupport & was so narrow. I now have an '07 Deuce, & man, what a difference. Great back support, nice wide seat, & that 96B engine is smoooth-go for the Softail!
