Default Seat recommendations

Hey guys, I am new to the site and I was looking for any info on seats my 2007 1200 custom. I currently have a leperra solo and while I love the look, it is incredibly uncomfortable for any long trips. I am looking for something more comfortable but still low profile.

What are your favorite seats. Pictures would be nice as well.

Thanks

I vote the mustang wide vintage along with the backrest. The backrest is soooo nice to have especially if you don't have a windshield.

Did we suggest Mustang wide vintage solo...LOL Sounds like overwhelming support for this seat....for comfort.

Comfort and low profile are like opposites....lower profile means less comfort (less padding). I think you need to determine what kind of riding you will be doing. I use Mustang tripper fastback 2-up and Mustang wide tripper solo with backrest. These are low profile seats but still comfortable enough for my type of riding.
