Default Seat for a Lo...
Interested in which aftermarket seat you guys are using on the Lo. I tried a Sundowner from HD, and it pushed me too far forward. I've also tried the Tallboy, and it sat me back perfectly, but it also raised the ride height which didn't feel right. I'm looking for a seat that will keep the low height, and sit back a little more than stock....is there such an animal?

I second the Bare Bones. It's perfect IMO.

OR you can take your stock seat and have them make it exactly the way you want. Thats what I did and even added a pro pad. Good luck!

C&C. It will lower you and move you back. Nice and comfy. I would not use the word stiff with it.

Thanks for the LePera help....been looking at there site most of the day, and talked to them a little while ago. Although the "bare bones" is perfect for a solo ride, I do alot of 2-up also and found that Maverick Daddy Long Legs, supposedly sits you back and low, just what I was looking for. Not too sure about the stitching patterns on it though, trying to see if they can make a smooth one. Thanks again for the help!

Drew, that seat looks great, do you know if they make a pillion to go with it? Like the bare bones with the separate pillion? Thanks!
