Default Seat question.

I have a 05 883c just recently upgraded with 1250 hammer kit. I need a good looking affordable seat that will keep me from sliding back. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks for the response. That is a good looking seat. Ever since I put the 1250 kit on I find myself holding on to the handle bars tighter 😄. I'm not complaining because I love the conversion. I just want to be more stable in the saddle without breaking the bank.

That seat and a Memphis shades gauntlet fairing completely changed my riding experience. I never slide. At all. With apes and the stock seat on a 72 I hated going over 55. Now I’ve taken it to it’s limits and felt comfortable.

Or you could go with a mustang vintage solo seat with backrest
