Default Brawler Solo Seat

Has anyone tried the Brawler Solo Seat from HD on their Road King? Any likes or dislikes? Thanks for the help.

Recently put one on my Street glide. Its comfortable enough for commute to work about 40 miles 1way. Its very firm so I don't know about long rides. Looks great though.

Got one on my street glide. Looks great and is reasonably comfortable for a day trip. Any longer than that and I'll switch to my mustang.

I have one on my 08 RoadGlide. It looks and fits great. It also allowes me to sit lower and further back then any other seat. I am 6'3" so I like it.
With that said, it is not a touring seat. If I plan on going more than 200 miles in a day I switch to my SunDowner.
The Brawler is great as long as you have another seat to switch to for long trips.

Thanks, this is just what I was looking for. How much would you say it lowers your seating position?

Default Anyone switch between the Brawler and Sundowner w/ the rider backrest?

Seems like you would have to remove the backrest bracket every time to get the Brawler on...

I've installed the Brawler this winter. So far, the feel is firm but OK around town, haven't done long distances yet. I'd say it lowered and backed me up around an inch. One thing to consider, your vision over the top of the windshield will be different because you are lowered on the seat. I'm 6', I still can see over the windshield, but less than before. I may consider buying a shorter windshield. Installing the seat is not as easy as the original, pretty tight fit. The seat looks very good as far as I'm concern.
