Default Custom Seat Question
I have a 2007 FXST with a HD 2" stretched tank. The only seat available (that I have found), is the sidekick seat for stretched tanks by HD. This seat is good for short rides, but I need something wider and more comfortable for long rides. I have searched all over for a seat that is designed for the bike with the stretched tank so I do not have to go through pan fabrication, send it to the builder, wait 8 to 9 weeks ordeal. Does anybody know where I can find such a seat?

Maybe contact C&C seats or Dr VTWIN on here. Lots of good reviews for both.

maybe check with mean city cycles. They do a lot of good seat modifications. You may be able to find a seat you like and get them to modify it for you.

C & C Seats like Jed1069 said. Got a seat for my 05 Deluxe. I needed a seat that would set me back farther. They had my seat done in a week.
