The only thing I would have done different with my C&C is add gel for the longer rides.

Mjohnston66,

Mine is the standard solo for a Deluxe. Even though I have an 07', I ordered the seat for the 08's on. The only difference is the 05' to 07' seats have side frame mounting screws, and the 08' and on seat does not. Mine has a bracket that mounts to the two studs that hold the stock seat. The seat then has a single tab and chrome acorn nut to mount to the bracket. It's a clean look. BTW gel is always good................

Ronyd....Did this change give you any additional lower back support? I like my Deluxe seat but wish it had more back support. Thanks!

If you like closely at my pic, you can see the bucket/backing that is now in the seat after the mod.
