I have the Mustang Vintage Solo and I like it. Big difference over stock seat.

I have the HD Rallyrunner. It's pretty nice, and the wife is comfy. Doesn't look too bad. Although the badlander looks better, I've been told by many people that it doesn't provide enough support and you feel like you're gonna slide right off the back, and passenger don't dig. If you want solo, I had had the brawler solo and it's infinitely better than stock, looks great, and is as comfortable as the Rallyrunner.

+1 on the Mustang vintage, best $175 I've spent so far on this bike.

I went with the tripper solo and the added rear seat ... just ran a 100 mile trip, the cheeks were happy. With the other seat, they were screaming around 40 miles. I can go 2 up if I choose (also just picked a Haulin *** backrest on ebay) or pull the rear seat and run solo with a clean look.

I have the CC seats solo and their sport touring 2 up with gel inserts both front and back. I also had them flame stiched. They are great seats. I have had the stock and the harley badlander seats as well to compare it to and the CC seats are much better. I recommend CC seats. Look awesome and are comfortable. The gel is an improvement if you ride more than an hour at a time.

I got a C&C lopro solo a month or so ago. At first I didn't think it was worth the money. I got the gel insert. I rode with it for a month and had lukewarm feelings about it. Then I put the stock seat back on for one ride to work.

There is no way I'm going back to the stock seat. I didn't realize how much better the C&C was until I put the stocker back on. The stock seat seems made for some sort of creature other than human, as no human being's anatomy could be comfortable in the stock seat, IMO.

I ride an 09 Iron 883.
