Default 'DEEP' seats
Hi - I know there have been seat thread ad nauseum... I'll search through the archives. I did want to ask if people had any luck find a DEEP seat for their Sportster. I'm 175 pounds and I feel like I'm gonna get blown off going 55+ mph. I was thinking a seat with a deeper seat/higher backrest might help. Any suggestions?

In addition, I'd like to go brown with a matching side bag.

PS, this is for a softail, but you can see that is DEEP

here is a gunfighter on my springer





here are few pics of the seat on a sporty. They also have a spot to mount a back rest/butt pad. You can buy one or make one.

I've got the Corbin Gun Fighter on my 2001 softail & love it. I should've spent the $ & got 1 for my Sporty but I went cheap & got the Mustang day tripper & hate it. So now I'm going to make my on solo spring seat like I did back in the 70's for my Sporty Corbins are expensive but worth it IMO

My stock nightster seat is great for the deep feel, leaves something to be desired for comfort if you're in it for more than 3 or 4 hours....
