Default What is your favorite solo seat?

I have the lepera bare bones seat and love the way it looks. It is only comfortable for about 50-60 miles though -- after that it starts to hurt. I got a price of $150 to have it taken apart and have a pro pad put into it. This seems pretty reasonable, but before I do it I'm considering just buying a different seat.

What solo seats are you guys running? Does anyone out there have a low profile solo seat that is comfortable?

Thanks

I've got a Mustang vintage solo (non wide). It's not low profile but it is damn comfortable. I've done over a 1000 miles in one day on it and my *** didn't hate me afterwards.

Ditto 'P.I.B's post. I have the Mustang Solo with Mustang backrest on my '05 Roadster. Wonderful seat and backrest. If my wife ever quits riding with me on my '05 Road King Classic, I will replace the Sundowner with a Mustang Solo. .............. BC

Scootergrrl had a Corbin Hollywood solo seat on her bike when we got it. I liked it for comfort. The stocker kills me after about 30 minutes. Good thing it isn't my bike...

Corbin hollywood reach solo seat shaved down as much as possible. Good thing about Corbin is you have a choice of seat materials- can go mild or wild. I juts recnelty got back froma 6500 trip cross country and was comfy on it!

You'd have a problem trying to get my mustang solo away from me.
