They also sells the non Gel ones for a fair amount cheaper.

Shipping was fast and everything went smooth. The cost of shipping was a little high imho though. They were both in the same box, but they charged me both the seperate shipping fees. If you do order there maybe ask if they will combine to give you a better price.
I'm assuming the rear pillion screw in, (not a suction cup, or what not)
Do you think that rear pillion will mount to a stock Slim seat? I'm just trying to figure out a way to my the g/f a little more happy on rides. Also does the Gel make a big differences?

24v,
How does the Danny gray feel compared to the stock in the way of height. Does it feel higher or farther back or forward ?

24v I always contacted the seller of the Danny Grey seat, they said the rear pillion would be able to mount a stock seat because it uses a suction cup. Only problem is Suction cups won't stick to matte paint. So there goes that plan, back to square one.

Actually, they do stick to the paint just fine. My bike is Denim black and I have no issues. The back of the seat mounts to the rear bolt hole, and the front has suction cups near where the front seat bolts on. It should fit behind a stock slim seat no problem.


SlimJeff- The seat feels slightly higher than the stock seat, but I don't think it is any different from front to back. When I say slightly, we are talking maybe 1/2". Not enough to bother me.

24v,
Thanks for the info, last question promise.
Does it offer more sliding back support than stock , I mean when you hit the gas does it help at all keeping you from moving back ?
Every time I hammer it I feel like Im gonna slide back

I don't feel like it is bad in that regard, but remember I am coming from a Blackline seat which has a pillion built in.
I don't have any issue at all with sliding back.

I bought the back crack solo and pillion for my slim and am very happy however mine doesn't have the gel and I wish I had spent the extra $100 or so as i am assuming the gel is much more comfortable. So far longest ride with it is 50 miles and no complaints from the old lady. I was a little surprised to see that it only secures to the bike with suction cups in the front. Does anyone one have any input on that?

Hey Adam, Could you email me or post up detail pictures of your slim and those DannyGrey seat, especially the rear pillion. I'm was thinking about getting them, but I'm not sure how it would look in person. Thanks

DPROTO-here are some pics of my bike with the Danny Grey solo and pillion seat. If you do get it make sure you go with the gel option.

I realize this is a little dated, but I'm looking to put this seat on a denim slim and was told by Danny Gray that the suction cups wouldn't work. Did you mod your seat or bike? Or does the suction just work well enough that it't not really an issue?
