2 choices I am looking at so far

I have a C@C seat now (fastback) and like it so I looked at the C@C solo. It sits you lower but dont see if it sits you back or not.

Corbin solo. The upfront says its 2 inchs closer but is that 2 inchs closer than there regular seat or 2 inchs closeer than stock.

Any other options and feel free to post pics
Call & talk to Chuck at C&C and tell him what you want. Most of their seats are made to order, so I'll bet they can cut the foam to not sit you back any farther than stock.

Paramount, CA. They have a nice setup there, everything made in house, at that location. I'm a very happy customer of there's and have been to shop on many occasions to have different things done.

Take a look at the LePera Aviator. I like mine and the price was better than most. It puts me a little lower but doesn't put me forward or back any. However I don't think it will work with a back rest.

I am leaning towards the C@C since I have been happy with mine.

My solo C&C pushes me back but that is what I wanted. They will make you whatever seat you want and how you want it so give them a call.

C&C w/backrest is what I have and it's lower than stock and you can adjust the backrest to get you where you want to be. I had to change bars too until I got situated in the right position.
