i saw a deal on a seat that would be perfect for your bike. and it is cheap enough to try and if you dont like it you can sell it and get all your money back. i did that with my first 2 seats untill i cound one for my fat ***.

If you like the look of the seat you have now, but want to have it modified for you specifically...... I highly recommend Mean City Cycles. They did an outstanding job on my stock FLSTN seat. Turn around time & cost are also incredible. IMO

i too could only go 100 miles on a C&C. used is allways good as you can sell it if it is not right for you or some places have return policy like mustang. but even a week in a new seat is not long enough to get used to it.

I'm looking at the CC seat for my 2001 FXSTDI and I'm wondering about the fender cleanup. It's a Deuce and I have the three bolts that support my Deuce specific sissy bar. Anyone found something specific that will cover those bolts for a solo seat?

Mustang Tripper Solo
Does anyone have or tried a Mustang Tripper Solo?
I had Mustang seat years ago and as I remember it was comfortable.
Photos welcome for sure.
