Softail Solo seat

Hey guys,

I'm tryin to decide what might be a good brand / type of solo seat for my '86 softail custom, and kinda wonderin what someone else's opinion might be on them. I 've been lookin on e-bay at some Corbin, Lepera, Ultima, and some of the stock Harley seats. I have a Corbin Touring seat on the bike at the time, and it rides great. But i would like to try a solo seat for the days that the better half doesn't want to ride with me.

Also curious about a back rest. Are they a good investment comfort wise?

Have a good one.

Any and all input will be appreciated. :cheers:

The back rest is great. My Mustang seat is a solo with removable back rest, so you can pull it off and ditch it when you want. Here's a link to Mustang, but you probably can get it for less via another dealer:

Seats : Mustang Motorcycle Products, Inc., What a Difference Comfort Makes!

Thanks Red Rider,

I'll take a look at the link. Have a good one.

I have been looking at that Mustang seat. Over the years my back has been killing me. Adding some foot pegs and that has helped.

I have the Mustang Solo with removable backrest and love it. If you get that and the heel rests for your footpegs, you can ride 600 miles a day with no problem. Even without the backrest, it's a very comfortable seat. I have the widest one.

The good thing about buying directly from Mustang is that you can try it out for 10 days and send it back if you don't like it. This was worth paying MSRP to me because I had bought three seats before that, which looked comfortable, but felt like a 2X4 in my lower back after a couple hundred miles. If you decide to go that route, be sure to confirm that guarantee. It's been a few years.

I just ordered a Corbin Close Solo for my bike. I couldn't find what I wanted on e-bay so I ordered one. I hope it works out. Well, for what I payed for it, I'll learn to like it. It can't be any worse that my stock seat.
