Default Single seat recommendations for a 96 FLHTCUI

Morning from "Over the Pond"!!!

I am looking to trim down my Electra Glide, by removing the Tour Pack, and want a single, comfortable seat. Anyone got any recommendations for this set up please?
Im looking at going over to France to do the "Normandy Landings" run in the Spring...thats if they let us Brits back into France!
Appreciate the fact find results from you guys.

Hello. I have done the exact thing to my 2005 EG. I went with the LePera 12” Wide Silhouette Solo Seat with a Drag Specialist’s rear fender Bib. Love the set up. GL with your decision.

1994-1996 were bastard years for seats on the touring models. They have a different front mounting tab then later models.

Seats from 97-08 will work but they do require a modification to get them to fit. There's a couple of threads around here somewhere with that modification.

Here is a good thread about the modification.

Not sure what changed so far as your years, but those police solo seats are right comfy, and I think they look VERY cool!
I like mine!
