My favorite seat is always the one i have custom made. Right now i still have the stock seat, comfortable enough but when hitting hard throttle from a stop i slide right off the back of it if i don't also use the passenger seat. Needless to say the custom seat will be happening soon..
there's a lot of guys on here with good aftermarket seats so I'm sure they will chime in- not too many choices for the Breakout though as far as ready-made.

Work like this runs on average anywhere from $100 to $250. sometimes it pays to shop around a bit if there are several upholstery shops in your area.

Look for a local auto upholstery shop, sometimes it helps to use Yelp for reviews if you don't already know a good place. they have different materials to choose from for coverings, and different types of seat foams. the gel foam is typically the best. you can take the bike down there and discuss what you want done to the seat- make it lower, have it push forward a bit, custom stitching on seat cover, etc.

If you are interested in how I got my stock seat modified to make a solo seat out of it, read my Custom Solo Seat Thread

Yay!!!! Can't wait to see it. Been waiting a long time for that matching rear wheel to show up lolol
used to do trips with friends once 1-3 times a year going to cali,oregon,tail of the dragon etc...about 8-9 of us just having fun in the canyons...but unfortunately we lost one of our riding buddies in a head on collision...so not as much anymore since all of our girlfriends/wives our friends...so lets just say i got the blame of always being the crazy mc rider/racer...miss him dearly every day i think of him....

yeh it's a much smaller niche market so the cost per unit is going to be a lot higher. BTW I just got a call from the dealer where I bought the wheel, and they told me they screwed up on the price and sold it to me for $200 below their actual cost. they were cool and just ate it, so I guess I did get a pretty good deal. but hell, yes these wheels are not cheap!
