Default Low Profile seats??

Hey guys i am looking for seat options for my 08 Electra Glide Classic. No complaints with the stock seat I just want something that looks good when i strip it down taking the tour pak off etc. I want it to becomfortable as well though. Don't want to be sitting on a plank of wood. Also would like back rest capable too. Shoot me yalls ideas and what has worked for you. Thanks guys!

Me, too. The nice thing is that it works with a rider's backrest.

Went with a Danny Grey I found on Ebay. Bought if for the low profuile look and intended to keep my stock 2 piece for longer rides. Surprisingly the DG has been just as comfortable and I haven't put the stock one back on (In fact I gave it to a friend last time I moved). I'll see if I can dig up a decent pic of it on my bike.

Nice seats! How do they ride? That C&C looks really cool. I may check them out and see if they have on like that with a backrest.

I also did the H-D low profile leather for many thousands of miles and it was plenty comfortable even on my Sturgis trip doing a 15 hour day. For the passenger it's not so comfy beyond short trips.

I'm now on a Corbin Dual Touring and it's also much more sleek and also sits me lower and abit further back like the Low Profile H-D did but more comfy when Mama is on the back.
