Default Solo seat recommendations

I've been looking at the Lepera bare bones seat and really like the look of it.Right now I have the stock solo seat and it just looks to big.I have also considered a spring seat,but they don't look comfortable at all.what do you guys have and recommend.Anybody have anything laying around that they don't want anymore?

I loved the Mustang vintage solo I used to have on my Sporty so much I bought one for my Street Bob too. I also have a Le Pera Bare Bones for it and while it looks great it's only good for riding about 100 miles before you have to get off it before your *** explodes.

try a C&C seat. Good quality and they look good too. Check out their website for different models. They have a solo low pro and a fastback. www.ccseats.com

While we're discussing seats, does anyone have a mustang vintage solo seat and a power commander? The parts manager at a local shop says it won't fit the sportster because of where the wiring harness is once the power commander is installed.

I have a C&C for 2-up riding and it's very comfortable but I use a Danny Gray solo. I like the look more than the C&C and it's very comfortable.
