Default Single Seat

I'm thinking about adding a single seat to my 06 XL 1200C Sportster. Any recommendations? [sm=feedback.gif]

Blackbird,

There are a lot choices out there to choose from: Corbin, Mustang, Harley, LePera, etc. It's an individual choice. Do a search for "solo seats" here. There have been a lot of previous discussions on these threads about solo seats.

Whatever you wind up choosing, be sure to let us know - and don't forget the pics!

I have the Harley Badlander seat for two up riding on the bike right now. I'm considering a one up version like the Le Pera Daytona Sport LT shown below:

Well I went and did it. I ordered the Le Pera Daytona Sport LT in vinyl from Dillon Brothers in Omaha, NE. Got a good price of $237.12 out the door with taxes. Hope to receive it in about a week.

Today I mounted the Le Pera Daytona Sport LT seat for one up riding. I also added a front spoiler. The photos below show both mods. It just never ends. [sm=usa.gif]
