Default Another Seat Question
I have a 2011 Fatboy and am looking to put on a solo seat. I was thinking of getting the Mustang Vintage Solo with matching tank and fender bibs. Does anyone have this seat and if so what are your opionions of it.

Mustang = sitting up and sitting forward. C&C = sitting down and sitting back

I have a C&C Solo if interested.

Oh ok thanks for the info. I'm sure this has been beat to death already but the search wasn't helping me find anything useful. Any pics of the seat.

If you are taller you are going to want to lean towards the C&C seat.

I have the Vintage solo on my Lo and I love it. I do it a little higher.

...or you could just remove the passenger pillion seat. Oops, here I thought I was on the "Lo" thread.

I have the Mustang Sport Vintage on mine, but not the wide one. Best seat I have ever used. It does sit me up about an inch over stock and slightly forward, but I am vertically challenged (5'7") Here is a pic:

I am not taller and run the C&C solo. This thing is great. On the 200mm tire bikes it sits you back and down about an 1". On the earlier softail it sits you down about an inch and back about 2". On teh fatboy Lo it sits you down and back about 3/4". I sell C&C at discoutns daily and they offer numerous patterns and can also custom make the seating position if you don't like where they are as they come. PM or email me and we can talk about your new seat. DREW@DRVTWIN.COM

Yep, those are the Harley risers. Gave me just enough pullback with the stock bars. Also, all the stock cables and wires worked perfectly.
