Default my butt appreciates it

Well yesterday Scott & his wife & I met up to ride,there was so many bikes out in my area it was like bike week! Anyway all day he kept talking about how he liked my solo seat look and this and that,he is now setting up his tail end like mine[8D]After riding all day on the bare bones and coming home and still feel the seat in my *** hours after I got off it & riding to work today I went over and picked up some loot for his new pipes and we traded my Bare Bones for his Sundowner & he was $40 short in cash on himand asked ifI wanted his matching backrest for the $40 and I was like hell yes! He can't stand the look of them on his bike a 04' 1200C. I am plenty game and the 15 mile ride from his house and my butt is thanking me all kinds of waysIt's not the prettiest seat but will look better when I toss the backrest on! Nice comfy seat for the run around Erie! Basically I got the Sundowner/Backrest/matching backrest pad/luggage rack for $130

I'll add the Bare Bones is a decent seat but the way I sit on the seat I end up sitting on the back of it and that is a hard part,I don't sit in the grove,it would work for someone a little shorter or like Scott a little taller who stretches his legs out more like highway pegs ahead of his forward controls.

That it is! I liked it and Scott likes it also&the way I had it set up,and then added Dawns fender rack to it and it looked super sweet and with all the chrome on his 1200[&:]but I mostly ended up sitting on the back of the seat all day,it moved me to far forward,but the way Scott sits in it he says he will be fine. I could handle it for my days at work no problem but will have to switch for the days I get to ride all day or I will be sorry[8D]He wanted my set up bad yesterday and I wanted his Sundowner to take Dawn for cruises and for the XL Sporty run around Erie. I will find a solo I sit comfy on that doesn't move me forward to sit in the seat instead of on the back of itI sit nicely in the saddle on the sundowner,is there a solo like that?
