Soft tail custom seat
So I finally get a new solo seat, the Brawler, for my FXSTC. Looks fantastic. Almost a whole new bike. But.... after an hour ride today, I'm missing the funny looking King/Queen seat. Spent 6-8 hours on it during Bike Week last week and might as well have been on my sofa. I'm all for looks, but the comfort thing may win out.
I bought a Corbin Dual Tour last summer. It was extremely comfortable, but I hated the way it looked on my bike so I took it off after about 2 weeks. $700 down the drain. [:@] But I ebayed it and got some of my money back at least.

There's a simple solution...
Buy a slab of GelTek padding and have a local upholstery shop replace your stock padding with it... then you won't want to ride on your two up seat any more.
If you need more info, let me know.

Take the Brawler back if you can.
It's a very narrow design for all day riding.
I was having a lot of trouble with the plastic pan flexing and hitting the strut causing the seat to split.
Look ata LePera Silouhette Deluxe solo. I just received mine, and it's night and day.
It's wider, all steel pan, more spine support, a lot more padding, and it has a little more style IMO.. .
Pricey though. Mine is all leather w/ stitching. Almost $500.00, but worth every penny.
As soon as I get my new wheels mounted, I'll post new pics.

Man, it was ugly.
I bought one of those cheap and ultra ugly Sundowner seats from Harley for a couple hundred bucks. I use it for when my kids want to ride, and then back in the shed it goes.

Thanks for the feedback. As I look through the threads about seats, I find that alot of you have two seats. One for around town, bike nights, etc. and one for longer trips. Since changing only takes a few minutes, I think I'll do the same.
I have two seats, but I never use the Sundowner. In fact, I'll sell it for first $150.00. Used for 10 minutes.
I just can't mount an ugly stuffed two-up seat on my FX.
If the brawler isn't getting it done, and you like a solo, bring it back and upgrade because you'll use the solo 99 9/10% of the time..
