Default M8 Fat Boy Seat options

I spoke with the folks at Mustang and Ultimate last week and they are both still a ways out there. Lady at Mustang said a month, the lady at Ultimate said a few months. Both were estimates.

So, what seat options, other than factory and Corbin are currently available? Anyone have something to recommend? I'm looking for a solo seat with a backrest.

HD Sundowner Solo Seat #52000292 + GrasshopperLimited rider backrest could work. About $350 total.

Thanks for the quick reply. Have you used this combo?
The seat looks very similar to the stock seat, but maybe a little flatter which if so could allow for sitting further back. That would be a good thing at least for me.
Does the backrest push the rider forward at all?

I have not used this combo, but I have had Sundowner seats that were very comfortable, and I do have the backrest on my Heritage. It doesn't push me forward.

Thanks. Mind if I ask you how tall you are?

Anyone tried a Saddlemen Explorer on their M8 Fat Boy or Breakout yet?

Or a Harley Tall Boy?

Default Saddlemen On 115th Anniversary Fatty

Here is a blue stitched Saddlemen on my 115th Fatty. I'm happy with its style and function.

We have identical bikes. I got the Saddlemen and love it.
