Default Seat SUCKS

My girl just got the 12oo low and has put some miles on it. Her BITCH, the seat sucks!!!!!!! ANyone changed the seat. She wants to keep it a "2 seater" . Any suggestions on aftermarket luck? The bars are still stock and she will add a sissybar shortly Mako [sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

That's the H-D seat right? She doesn't give rides and has also thought of a solo seat but wants the sissy bar and luggage carrier possibly.

if she wants the rack and sissy bar, i think it's gonna look a little weird with a solo seat.

$190 bucks for the Pillow Top HD seat, 9,000 miles on this seat and I love it. Also take a look at the AirHawk about the same price, fits over the factory seat. i have some Buds who swear by the Air Hawk. I can't find the link just Google search it.

The Sundowner seat is money well spent. I think that she will find it to be most comfy.

If you're serious about a Sundowner seat, I can probably make you a deal on one in great condition.

Can't beat the Sundowner for 2-up.

Ditch the stock seat and get a Sundowner and a Mustang vintage solo. Then you can swap whenever you want to ride 2-up but you also have a nice riding solo too.
