My solo C&C is great! And Tman is right, Chuck & Chuy are great guys too!

I'm psyched...scored a C&C Solo for $75 off Craigslist. Hoping it feel as
good as it looks when I roll the scoot out in spring

The only thing I wish I would have done different is the studs. When I ordered the seat, I thought the studs would add a little bling, but the first time I saw my bike with the studded seat on it, I was disappointed. I wish I would have gone with a cleaner look on top. Anyway, I thought I would get used to it, but I still kick myself.

Good Luck.

I may be a little biased here since I just rolled out of a Heritage, but I think the studs look nice on your bike. I'm not a huge fan of using tons of studs, but what you have there is tasteful. Nice lookin ride!!!

I am a bit surprised......Mustang is the leader in the poll but it seems only 4 posters made comment on it and the ran 3 "not their favorite" to 1 really likes it? I was just about to buy a Vintage solo for 08 RKC but may have to re-think.

One more for the Danny Grey speed cradle. Looks comfort and fit. I'm 5'9" 270 with a 30" inseam. I can flat foot but mine is lowered as well.

I figured for that kind of $, if it doesn't work out I could make money on it. I'm hoping it's ok and that's not necessary. Depending on how it feels, I could always send it to Mean City.

The Danny Gray and Corbins sure do look nice

I have a Mustang Super Solo with black studs and backrest. I was on the fence about the backrest, but I'm glad I got it. It makes a huge difference in back comfort. Not knocking anyone else's seat, but I love the Mustang.
