Default Any classic solo saddles for 08's?

I have my nice sundowner for long distance but for around town I want a classic solo saddle to put on there. When I say classic I mean like the old school looking saddles with the chrome bar around the back. I haven't seen any for 08's yet. Does anyone know if any of the major companies have anything like this? Thanks.

Corbin makes a classic solo for touring models and has accessories you can add to your seat such as the chrome "railing" that bolt directly to the seat for a clean classic look... check out the site http://www.corbin.com/harley/flhx/hdflhx6s.shtml.
hope it helps... wanted to get one of these for my ride too, but just too pricey in my opinion.

The closest "affordable" solo I found that I liked was the Mustang studded vintage solo:

I'm selling my Mustang vintage solo...just like in the picture above this post. I had it on my 2002 RKC...not sure if it'll fit on an '08 though. Send me a pm if interested.

I would suggest Corbin--I had two of them, be prepared for the worst customer service imaginable.

No, not cheap ... $250+, but whatta ya expect, they're hand stitched leather. And cheap compared to what; how much did you pay for your scooter? Leather jacket? Boots?

But you'll be on your own when it comes time to mounting it.
