Default 2012 Deluxe Seats

I've read a lot of info here, and on the Manufacturers sites, on seats for my scoot. I'd like to hear first hand from those that use them, what's the most comfortable seat you've come across for long hauls? One piece or two, doesn't matter. I'm fairly comfortable on the stock seat as long as I sit far back on it. I also have extended the boards and controls with the Kuriyakyn kit. Passenger comfort is just as important here......

For passenger seat, my girl loves the deluxe touring pillion. I use my stock seat for long rides, but wouldn't mind shaving it back a few inches

Kozy, Do you use the Deluxe touring pilon without the stock rack installed? I was looking at one and it seemed to me that it needed the rack to add stability. I hear you on wanting to shave back the stock solo....

I am now running the stock Crossbones springer seat setup, polythylene under seat pan cover and all stock hardware on my 2005 deluxe. I did change out the stock Crossbones 3 inch seat springs and replaced them with J&P 2 inch springs. I am 5'10 and weigh 245 pounds and the seat/springs do not bottom out. Seat is very comfortable.



I still am able to use the passenger pillion with no problems.
