Road king solo seats
Just bought a 2010 RK and had some questions about solo seats. I would like to get a solo seat that I can switch back to the stock seat easily when the wife wants to ride. I took off the stock seat and saw that there are 2 post coming up through the rear fender with white plastic washers and nuts, not sure what is attached on the bottom, and then there is the insert that the stock seat mounts to. Do most of the solo seats mount on these 2 posts under the seat and if so will I have to remove brackets and stuff to switch back and forth. Any recommendations? I was looking at a Lapera bare bones and an HD brawler and they both look like they mount differently.

Those two posts are attached to a metal bracket inside the fender. I have the Police air ride seat which mounts differently so the posts are used to attach a passenger pillion seat when I ride two up. There are plastic clips that hold the posts in place.

The two screws attach to the solo (also a mustang in my case). The seat came with two nuts to hold in place. I also bought a short leather fender bib from mustang to cover the plastic washers. Do not remove the plastic washers or the screw will fall through the fender. I got a cover for the solo screw hole before I bought a luggage rack. You can also get a decorative screw for that hole from HD.

Lots of solo seats come with matching passenger pillons that can be removed easily....and bibs...and racks....and such can be put there.

Lots of dealers have seats you can try out....I would check out what YOU like first. Many guys rave about mustang seats, but they don't work for me. Seats are very subjective to the rider....plus they may move the seating position on you also.

If you're considering the Brawler, that seat comes with a "T - bar" that mounts to the two studs coming up off the fender. The Brawler has a tab that mounts to the tbar. I left the tbar in place when I switched to my two up seat since the two up had enough room underneath to cover the tbar. Had the Brawler, which was great seat in that it sat me low and back! No provision for a rider backrest though.
