Default Danny Gray or C&C seat setup?

I pretty much have decided i'm going to go either danny gray(big seat/backrest + pillion) or A C&C seat (solo w/backrest + pillion).My question is has anyone done any comparisons between the 2.Comfort level for driver and passenger.Would appreciate the response since i plan for one or the other this week.Its for an 08 RKC.thanks

I found the Bigseat unrideable, I know a lot of people like em but not me. I even had Mean City add memory foam but still couldn't use it long term. It looks badazz but it's bad for my big azz.

Although I have not owned either of the seats, look at E-bay and there seem to be a lot more Danny Grey seats up for sale than C&C Seats. I don't know if that means anything but I had good luck with a Vintage Solo from Mustang.

Good luck with your choice, or maybe have your stock seat modified or look at a Harley Sundowner Solo, they seem to be pretty popular also.

I think Danny Gray looks nicer of the two, I was contemplating it myself. But in the end, I'm gonna go Corbin Solo with backrest and vrail, very nostalgic looking as well as functional.

Default C&C seat.

I don't think you will be disapointed, either. I have the C&C and have put 19,000 miles on it. Don't think I will ever own anything else. Took a 9 day trip last summer no problems, other riding partners had danny grey, hd seats etc, all and the burning A$$ problem.

Not me.

Thanks.I had compared what it would cost me between the danny gray (big seat backrest solo+pillion)& mustang combo and the C&C.The C&C won out it even included the backrest which the others did not.The C&C solo w/backrest and pillion was actually less costly.

Sounds like a smart, safe, choice, I am on the fence myself.
Did you order leather or vinyl? Gel? stitch pattern?
Do you know if the backrest is adjustable?
