Blackline Seat

Posts: n/a
I wanted a Le Pera Cross Bones Solo but they don't make a direct bolt on match for the Blackline. I called Le Pera and they told me they likely would never make a matching solo seat for the Blackline due to the lower Blackline production numbers - upsetting to hear their perspective.
I also ran across an Italian vendor in my search, Granucci Seats. They have what I think appears to be the best looking and fitting Blackline solo seats available - by far in my opinion. However, the EURO cost and shipping just makes the seat too costly.
As a result, I also just order the new Softail Slim seat for my Blackline. Patiently awaiting but the HD Dealer says they are on backorder now for close to a month. I cannot wait to get it on the bike and drop the double seat. Crazy that HD didn't roll the Blackline with a solo seat as the factory standard like they have wisely done with the Softail Slim.

Thanks a lot for replying guys. I ordered the spring solo seat from Harley, and I think it will look just fine. I'm removing the front fender a using a Roland Sands brace and getting a new rear fender for that 144 tire. Just don't know what set of turning lights to use. Any ideias?

Hi, I bought the barebone solo le pera for softail and it fits perfectly to the blackline. You just need a hole and a thread on the rear fender. Grerat seat and look !
Corbin also makes a nice solo seat for the Blackline. They'll do custom leather/stitching and you can order the seat with a built-in heater. I have one for my FXS and it's MUCH more comfortable than the stock seat.
I had mine built to sit me higher than stock (I'm 6'6") so it's thicker than standard, and got them to do some old school diamond stitching on the cover. I've also got the matching passenger pad. My wife rated the stock passenger seat a 2 out of 10 and gives this one a solid 8.
