Default A question for Blackline owner

Hi, Is the Blackline Seat one piece or two piece? Also Is the solo seat more comfortable compared to the Slim Seat?

My butt get a little numb after 1hr.

Thanks you guys in advance.

The seat is one piece. Pillion is attached to riders seat by two small tabs of plastic.

Thanks for the info. By any chance did you sit on a Slim seat? Is the Blackline seat any better?

I have both seats. For me, the slim seat gets uncomfortable on longer rides (very little padding). However, I do like the look of it much more. I keep the original one around for longer rides.

Check out the Danny Gray Buttcrack solo seat. Looks damn good and is pretty comfy. I rode a friends bike that has one and it is well worth the asking price. I'm asking Santa Claus for one this Christmas for my Blackline.

I agree with Nocturnalnature. I have the Danny Grey Buttcrack Solo gel, and I also bought the pillion with gel for my wife. I love the seat, it is better that the stock seat and also looks pretty good.
Here is a pic solo, and a pic with the pillion and backrest on.

She hated the stock seat, and she says this one is much better. She says she would buy it again in a second.

Sorry to jump back into this conversation late. But how much did you spend on the seats. I went to the website and couldn't find the price of the pillion. I emailed them and they still haven't got back to me. I'm still shopping around. Corbin are too much cash. I was thinking about mustang tripper if they ever release a seat soon. If not the Danny grey might be my only opinion.

Here is where I got them.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-David...#ht_2365wt_227
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-David...#ht_821wt_1163
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.
