Just ordered a Corbin Classic Solo, with matching backrest, touring pillion and matching passenger pad. Will report back in in 3-4 weeks when its delivered with an update. BTW, Sergio was great to deal with by phone.

I used an air ride seat off a cop bike my Brother had. Put the solo detach kit from Harley on and use the tour pack as a back rest. My butt is very happy now.

I will be running a stock RoadGlide seat on my 08 Ultra when the TP is off. As far as stock seats go this one is a nice combination of looks and comfort for myself and my pillion.

this might sound weird but i got one from another forum member from an 09 road glide and put it on my 08 streetglide, and what a huge difference it made. actually the stitching in the seat matches the tank console perfectly too. much flatter platform rather than holding you in one position, thereby making it far more comfortable than the stock sg seat. and i'm tall so it worked out great, looks pretty cool too. so many seating options. good luck with what you end up choosing.

Like Yachtman said don't get a Saddlemen. I'd hate for anyone to have the same seat I've been riding on for over a year now and lovin' it.

+1 on the Danny gray Big Seat...almost 15k on the seat and no complaints! I agree that the attaching the pillion could be easier (it is on their other models) but its really that time consuming.

Not a solo, but went with the C&C fastback seat. Feels like you sit "in" the bike, not "on the bike". Great lower back support, no need for backrest. Can still put a passenger on without switching out seats. Was comfortable from the first day on.
