You could do this... you have seen the PD seat up close?

if yes and you still want, complete set ups from conversions show up on the classified board here every week and on ebay.

pics? it's the same frame as an SG so no big difference... look at PD bikes and imagine your paint color.

If you go with an air reservoir you may need to mount and plumb in a saddlebag or find a hidden location

I have seen the seat. I'am trying to find a comfortable solo seat and I see the seats on the classifieds all the time as well.

I'd like to see what it looks like on the bike before I buy

they are very comfortable seats for long days.

will have you seated more upright, which I like, I do put alot of my body weight on my legs when seated

I figure they've gotta be comfortable if cops are on them all day.

Thanks for the link...does anyone have pics of how it looks on a street glide...no tourpack etc...

I have an 09 FLHP and the stock solo seat is one of the reasons I went with a retired police bike. I and 6 feet with long legs and I could never get comfortable on any of the HD bikes I rented.

WHile the seat is very comfortable, there is a really ugly plastic pan that sits beneath it. I hated this thing so much that I had it covered with vinyl that matches the seat:

I also didn't want to give up space in the saddle bag for the air take so I mounted it on the right side strut between the rear wheel and saddle bag:

Others have used Kong dog chew toys as a replacement for the bladder. Search retiredpolicebikes.com for Kong and you will see several threads on this.

I pulled the air seat off my ex-police Road King for two reasons. First, and most important, it just wasn't that comfortable. It's great for slow speed handling in the parking lot, but I do a lot of long days, and sitting bolt upright, pushed towards the gas tank just wasn't comfortable. I like to stretch out, and prefer a seat that sits lower and further back. Secondly, it's not the best looking seat, and the cheap-***, 50-cent plastic tray that covers the battery was the last straw. Sold the whole thing on ebay, changed to a Corbin and would never go back.
