Default Duece solo seats..help, help, help

Hey fellow duece riders, i want to put a solo seat on but cant decide which one to get. Can you please post what solo seat you have and rate the comfort level of it and any other info you can provide.

I know Corbin makes a couple of styles as well as Danny Gray, but i have heard pros and cons on both.

It is tough to decide when you cant physically see the seat or take it for a test ride.

Thanks to all who reply

Blue - how tall are you? I will tell you the Danny Gray that I have is a comfortable seat without question but at 6'4" I do not like the ride position it puts me in - quality and comfort are top notch though.

I just put on a Mustang solo with backrest. It's not all that sleek looking, but the comfort is amazing. It sits up and forward just a bit from stock.

If you decide to go with a Mustang solo I think I'm going to sell mine. I have the pass. seat also, and a leather cover for when the rear seat is off. I'm going to have a custom seat made for my fat ***.

i have the danny gray solo too. i'm 6.1 and around 240 lbs. so far the seat is comfortable for about an hour and then it starts to get a little uncomfortable to me. i'm still happy with it as it looks great and is overall pretty comfortable.

I guess that I'm the only Corbin guy!

I have the Hollywood solo. I purchased it off ebay for about $260 +-. I think it looks good on the Deuce. Kinda low-slung and contoured right for the Deuce's flow.

At first it was hard as a board. After a couple hundred miles, I either had grown acustomed to it or it had begun to form to my narrow *** - I don't know which.

I'm only 5'8". The solo was a little too wide (I think) and caused me to not be able to completely flat foot at stops. As it wore in, I began to get a little more ground reach.

Now, my wife is going along - no more solo. :-( But I still put it back on ocassionally when I know she's not going.
