Default Seats for RK...form or function??

Dang this stuff is driving me crazy at times........the age old question.......form (the look) or function (the ride). I'm trying to walk (or should I say ride) that fine line between the two. I wont bore you with all the options and details of what I'm looking for...but I was hoping to find some fellow touring riders that have some experience with the HD Sidekick or Stripper "two up" seats? Love the look (low and lean).....but what about ride in comparison to stock seat??

Anybody have those seats??

I am not familiar with the seats you mention, but in my opinion you can't the Corbin dual touring seat. You get low good looks with a very high quality seat that is comfortable enough to ride 600 miles a day.

Don't have a pic on a Roadking, but this is what they look like on a Classic.



Regards,

Bill

Mustang solo with removable passenger pillion is a good combo of form AND function. In my opinion that is.
