That's 3/16" marine-grade fiberglass. We never use plastic baseplates.

Is there an advantage from a one piece seat to a two piece seat?Is the passenger pillion on a two piece seat comfortable?

I just ordered a Mustang Wide Vintage Solo and pillion for my 2015 FLD. Does anyone have experience with this seat? I just don't want those rubber bumpers to damage the fender paint when I pull the pillion off.

At the 1K service I got the wife the HD touring Pillion, oversized sissy pad/ with Detach sissy bar and floorboards...

The OE rear comfort on the Heritage sucked big time and with her having a bad tailbone from a childhood injury. With the MODS she now can ride until she gets tired instead of hurting like hell after a 1/2 hr of riding with the stock setup.

Plus I'll add she's never complained one time about since then, she loves the comfort and she's been on the back of the bike 95% of the time for the last 52K miles so she sure should know what her comfort level is..

I made an appointment and rode my stock seat 16 Heritage to Mean City Cycles.
He'll look at you on your bike and listen to what you want from the seat.
He'll personalize your seat to your needs.
Take a look around Rose Mill Antique shop.
Have lunch at Scottie's.
And leave town with a customized seat at a fraction of the cost of a new seat.
