Default Help with seat selection

As you can see I ride on the HD Solo Sundowner for RKC. It's a very comfy seat but nobody has figured out how to accomodate a nice backrest on this seat. Sooo, I'm in the market for a nice streamlined seat, not as bulky as the sundowner. I'd like one that accomodates a nice backrest and can add on a pillion.

I looked at the Corbin classic solo with the chrome or black studs. It looks pretty cool but is it comfortable? It does accomodate a rider backrest and pillion. I'm wondering if anyone out there can recommend other alternatives.

The mustang solo (w/backrest) and pillion would work ... but it would be just as bulky ...[&:]

I have a Dual Tour Corbin with chrome studs...It feels hard to the touch, but is very comfortable for the long haul, or around town. Also, it will accept a driver, and/or passenger backrest. The quality is impressive and it looks awesome on my RK. I think that they have the solo/passenger pillion configuration. Mine has definately been worth the money it cost. I get a lot of compliments on my seat.

Do you know if on the solo when adding the rider backrest it inserts through the rear of the seat or does it sit behind the seat. I'd prefer if the hardware was not exposed behind the seat.

The best I can tell, it installs through the rear of the seat in the rear back, not in the top back...If you can understand what I mean
