08 SG with a Mustang Day Tripper. Great comfortable seat, can ride it over 750 miles a day without any back or leg pain.

That Danny Grey Big seat sure looks sweet...a new fav may have emerged in my book!

I have to admit I'm surprised at where the votes are. I guess they are the big names for a reason. I fully expected to see Corbin be the fan favorite.

Not to late to get your votes in!!!!!!

Here's my Mustang Super Solo with backrest and short bib. I'm 6'1" with 33" inseam and very easily flat foot, as it's lower than stock. Very comfortable on long rides.

Default How do I solo ?

it's kinda complicated but not really, I'm very quiet to close the door behind me, push the scoot out to the road and coast to the corner. Start her up and run like hell. That's how I solo , pay for it when I get home though

It puts you back about an 1", and down about an 1". That would be my guess.

I bought a Harley solo seat for a RK off ebay, gave 75.00 for it. I had to modify the bracket a little to get it to fit, but it works. And I think it looks great.

I had a Mustang for awhile. I didn't find it all that comfortable, and the seating position didn't quite feel right. Switched to a Corbin, and am very happy with it.

I've had a couple Corbins (liked them both) and a couple Mustangs (they didn't work well for me). Everybody's different.
