Bought a rider back rest Once I got my thousand miles on her, which only took one week, brought it in for the service and then had my add ons installed. I have 14" bars on the bike now. Haven't removed back rest as yet. I am thinking about getting a low profile solo seat. Would like to find a comfortable seat that also lowers me. How was your bottom after a nice day ride and did you have any back pain?
Sorry for the delay...I just saw this... I liked this seat before I had the memory foam added...it was the wife who hated the pillion. I have only done a couple hundred miles at a time but I love this seat! I also ordered a Danny Gray Buttcrack, wider in the front than the CVO Solo and was pretty stiff...that one is gone now. I would like to try a C&C with back rest if I ever get a chance...but i'm pretty happy right now.

I bought the Hammock for my long rides because I knew the stock seat sucked. Also grabbed a Saddleman Solo and ppad. Finally got the wife out on the ppad. 60 miles in we had to stop. She hated it. I took it back and kept the solo for m . When she's going riding with me I toss on the Hammock. Take less than 5 minutes and she's happy. So I'm happy. Other than that. As in my signature pic. It's the solo seat 95% of the time.
