Default HD Signature Series Solo Seat with Backrest??
Been looking at this seat to replace a Sundowner. Anyone using this seat? If so, pros, cons, etc would be appreciated!! Is it worth the money compared to a Danny Gray, Mustang or Corbin solos? I will get a riders pad for my wife also.

Thanks!

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to see if there was anyone who owns this seat. I think my Mustang solo is too soft for my fat a@#.

Yes I own one it's a nice seat, but still not sure if there isn't a better seat for the money.

No I haven't had a Sundowner , but the comfort is good in my book just don't have anything to compare it with. The backrest isn't the best looking one I have ever seen, but again it does it's job so all is good. At times I think the seat is better without the backrest so I would give the seat a B+

That was a 07 Fat Boy so are you sure it was the same seat I think this one was NEW this year, but I could be wrong.
