Corbin, the clasic solo in a "close". They will work with you on custome fit.

Danny Gray Solo seat. BWARE. The most uncomfortable seat I ever had.

I now use the Mahogany Brown solo HD seat, pass pillion and backrest. The MOST COMFORTABLE seat I ever had.

I have the Danny Gray Speed Cradle.I'm 5'5" on a tall day and it moved me forward slightly and down maybe 3/4 of an inch.I've been sitting on it for nearly 40000 miles,so I guess I don't find it as uncomfortable as the previous poster.

I am another Danny Gray fan, using a Weekday solo on my King and am ordering one today for my new Roadie.

I had a Danny Gray "Big Seat" on my '10 Street Glide. Moved me forward and I didn't like that (I'm 6'3''). It's a very firm seat, almost hard - not an all day rider for me. Quality is good and cost about $325.

I have a Mustang Wide Touring solo with riders backrest and passenger pillion. I keep it solo unless wife rides with me. Love the seat and the backrest adjustment.

I have looked at these for a long time, does the Mustang lower you much from stock?

I am looking at a C&C close solo, looked at the Corbin, it specs at 14" from front, same as HD reduced reach, the C&C is 16" which I like. I sat on a HD reduced reach & felt crammed.I read good things about C&C although I had a Corbin on my last bike. Good luck.
