I got a Mustang solo, and am sorry now I didn't get a backrest.

I've narrowed it down to a Corbin classic solo or a C&C solo.... Will decide over the winter. Definitely getting a backrest and will probably get a sheepskin for long trips.... I had a Corbin Dual Tourer for 6 years and it was awesome but now I go solo....

And I'm short so moving back is not an option.

Default Corbin Solo

Just went with the Corbin Solo this past summer and I love it. Very comfortable. Right after I ordered it a read a number of posts complaining about Corbin's customer service. I had to make a change to my order (my bad) and all I can say was that my experience was great. They were very helpful and I got just what I wanted. No sweat.

The Corbin on my RK is the most comfortable I've had for a while. Been going through seats on the EG. Corbin smuggler (needs some repair) is good, Danny Gray is bad, just put on a CC but haven't rode it? I've been a big Corbin fan for a long time but I'm having trouble getting the Smuggler fixed??

Here is another vote for the Danny Gray "Big Seat". The rack is by Motherwell.

I have a 2014 Streetglide and also want to change out to a solo seat. I got a Mustang Vintage Solo which is a very nice seat but it seems to be a little bit higher and if anything I would prefer slightly lower without losing too much padding so it is comfortable.

Anyone have any experience with the Lepera Aviator as far as comfort level and seat height? Any other suggestions regarding a comfortable solo for medium range riding that sits you at stock height or lower? It sounds like the Danny Gray and CC may be worth a look.

I actually had a Sundowner on my last bike (a dyna) that I really liked but it doesn't look like they make a solo sundowner for the streetglide.

Well, for my 12' SG, I finally ordered the mahagony brown, low profile solo touring seat (part # 57000057). I haven't received it yet but, may hell be my heaven if it don't look exactly as posted in the picture below from HD's website...
