Yeah I can dig that. The first long ride I went with this seat was a trip to
WI. I was expecting THE worse. I was surprised though. Maybe it was being
able to set it up to where it was comfortable to me. Plus there is no foam.
Just a tuff ass rubber stretched over a metal frame, maybe that has
something to do with it.

After riding to Sturgis last year on a solo seat I promised myself never to
do that again...I missed being able to move my ass around on the long
seat...to each his own.

| I have a Ural solo seat on mine. Came across the rider and passenger seats pretty cheap. Everything from Guzzi seemed cheap and flimsy. Especially |

What the hell are they doing riding MY bike!

Dave Lubby's cool 700 has a HD Sportster seat with a modified mount. Any body have any other suggestions for a solo seat? Thanks, Chris
