Default I Need Help Picking C&C Seat.

I had enough of trying to pick out a seat for my Lo. I just got an email from C&C with the new 200mm design that uses both stock fender nuts to mount...but it looks to pillowish and throw you forward more imo. I will try to convert the .pdf file later to .jpg to show.

But now I want to stick with the old designs. I am torn between the fast back and solo w/ separate passenger pad. Fast back goes with the bagger lines, where solo gives it more a hopper feel. There is also the square back more for comfort.

I will order the piping option instead of stitching....and of course with gel for myself and passenger.

Which of the 3 would you choose?

Thanx.

Solo.


Fastback.


Squareback.

Screw it...I am getting the fastback. Getting er done!

Can always rethink a solo seat at a later date. Ol'lady likes to go for short rides only.

One vote here for the Solo! Prefer the solo look but you still have the option of passengers with the additional pad! Best of both worlds!

Guys at C&C rocks! They just spent almost an hour making sure I know what I am getting. Turns out I did order the solo with passenger seat that flushes up...where the fastback is not meant for passenger due to sliding effect. Piping pattern, gel & matte vinyl was added. They even sent me an email what leather looks like worn and stood out like a sore thumb. I do want a worn distress leather look, but they even recommended for me to get a local guy to recover later with the leather in my hands to make sure.

Great service.

I'd go with "square back" because you never know when you might meet someone who wants a ride!
