Question Seat Options

Hello Sportster riders! My wife has a Sportster Custom but she's not happy with the stock seat or the solo Reach seat. She's tried the C&C High back solo, and the Mustang Wide Vintage solo, but it was too narrow at the front. She wants stay with a solo seat if possible, and a seat that is wide, with some back support, not too narrow up front and a seat with some cushion. Is there such a thing out there? Thanks in advance. Getting tired of paying return shipping charges...

Try the Harley touring seat, I know its not a solo but dang it feels good. I got mine when I bought my bike. When I got home for the dealer I changed it out and took it out for a ride, WHOLE lot betterc than the stock rock I was sitting on.
At-lest you can check it out at the dealership before you buy. Its no too narrow in the ftr., wide enough in the back and has back support. Check this link for the seat-http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444184347 1&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302290483&ASSORTMEN T%3C%3East_id=2534374302290483&bmUID=1081717046847 &bmLocale=en_US

Mustang! After trying three other seats, there is no better for comfort IMO.
