Note: There are different versions of the FBI kit. Notice the difference in the side panels in the Silver blike vs the Black bike.
Yes: FBI does offer a solo saddle.
Not a low cost modification, but then again I've dropped $1,600 for Legends Air Rides, just to be able to back my sccot up on a grade.
I have an FBI kit on mine. It puts me flat footed on the bike. It also moves u back some so be aware of this. I had a new custom seat made for my wife and I. The pic is week but just now getting some descent weather here. The signature pic is the original seat that came with the kit. Check my pic album for the new seat.
Even being 5' tall I'm sure you could see over the stock SG windshield.
Ok.. Just barely I know that being 6'1 with the 7" windsplitter, and the HD brawler seat which drops you considerably. My eyes are still easily 4-5" ABOVE the top of the windshield. The windsplitter is actually probably only 5" in height.
I will ask again,,, being that low, how well can you see the road over the fairing?
I am 5'2" (a short petite woman) and swapped my Softail Deluxe for a StreetGlide 2010, and had the kit installed with the custom Corbin Solo seat and custom Corbin side covers, because otherwise I would not have been able to maneouver the bike while having both feet on the ground. I'm able to see over the fairing. This is the kit from Bagger Werx.
It's the solo seat that comes with the kit, they call it "Custom Corbin Solo Seat". You can also buy the kit with the "Custom Corbin Two-Up Seat". So the seats are made by Corbin and sold exclusively to Bagger Werx.... I went to Corbin while I was in Daytona last week, and asked if I could buy the two-up seat and they said that I would have to go through Bagger Werx to buy it.
