Default another seat opinion request

Want to replace my stock 08 RKC seat but want something that will bring me down and back as well as being comfortable for my passenger when she rides and that is not bulky or boxy.Right now i'm torn between the Lepera Sorrento and the Danny Gray solo(accepts backrest)with the large pillion.Dont want mustang(puts foward) nor the sundowner(bulky).And i really dont wat to have my present seat reworked either.Anyone with experence with either the Lepera or Danny Gray.Thanks

Got a Corbin solo on my 07 RKC. Good saddle. The flame stitchs gives an added comfort and looks good.

Mustang solo with passenger pillion...back and down, and you can get it with or without backrest

And how sweet would your bike look with just a solo on it

I was always under the impression that the mustang solo + pillion would put me forward which is why i wasnt considering them.I guess i'll have to look into that further.

+1 on the mustang. I had to sell it because it moved me back just a little to far. Very comfortable once broken in. not that great initially, but worth it in the long run.

Just a word of caution. I have a 08 RKC w/ABS and a PCIII installed under the seat. I want to change my stock seat so I bought a Mustang solo seat. Well with the PCIII installed, the Mustang seat will not fit properly. Not sure about the other seats you mentioned; just be aware there may be issues if you have aftermarket stuff installed.

The mustang SOLO plus pillion will move you down and back. The ONE piece mustangs sit higher and more forward than the solo.
