Default Solo seat

I see a lot of solo seats on this site.What's a good ,comfortable saddle? Preferably one that will move me up a little closer to the bars.

Without a doubt, the air ride solo cop seat has got to be the most comfortable motorcycle seat ever devised.

First thing I did when I got my 2006 XL1200 Low was to put a Mustang vintage seat with a backrest on it. It brought me a little closer to the handle bars and being 5'1", that's was important. Highly recommend Mustang - very comfortable and great customer service!

I have a stock 99 Road King 2 piece on my 03 RK. It's comfortable I just don't have the back piece on.

Corbin "close" Classic Solo comes to mind. I've seen several of these on touring bikes owned by the vertically challenged.
Corbin makes top-quality seats but the firm padding is not for everyone.

Does the solo cop seat raise you higher than the stock seat?It sure looks like it does.Also, where did you get the luggage rack? looks cool.

The cop solo raises a good 2-3 inches higher. I ride an EG at work. I hate that seat for that reason.

The rack cam on that bike. It has the air tank for the seat bladder mounted under it. Look hard and you can see the gauge.
