Seat Question
Hello all new to the boards.
I have a 06 RKC with the stock seat. I am looking for a more comfortable for the wife. Any suggestions? If possible I would like to keep using the stock removable passenger back rest.
Thanks!

RE: Seat Question
I took off my stock seat and put on a HD Sundowner solo. Loved it for 2 years and now it's killing my ***. I'm probably gonna sell it and buy myself a Mustang solo. Try a Mustang with bigger passenger pillion.

RE: Seat Question
Squid, first of all, welcome to the boards. I have a similar problem, however, my wife is a casual, 'hour or less' passenger. I am thinking I am going to get a solo seat, then send the stock to Mean City (www.meancitycycles.com) to get the seat re-worked. I know the passenger back rest will work with that seat, and there are a lot of people on this board who swear by Mean City.
Now I just have to decide which solo to get so I can put the plan in motion.No way I won't have a seat at this time of year.....
Also, you will quickly find people will demand pics of your scoot (we all need to know if we should be jealous and/or steal your good ideas... lol)

RE: Seat Question
Hey Curlydee,
On that Mustang; is it the touring or sport touring you have? How thick is the passenger part? I'm running an HD tallboy now, and sitting on the back, my 5'3" wife can't touch the floorboards even with them all the way up.
Thanks in advance,

RE: Seat Question
I wasn't impressed by the looks of that tallboy, but hey, it came with the bike. I have now put over 650 miles on the machine in the last 3 weeks, and I have to say, it ain't a bad seat. Gives pretty good lower back support without an add on driver's backrest. My better half is only good for an hour or so at a time anyway, but I don't necessarily want to keep the 2nd bike (a big rice cruiser you don't wanna hear about) just to take her for a putt now and then.
