Several years ago I put a double bucket seat on my Ambo. With the Wixom
fairing, saddle bags and trunk it fits and looks good. I sit on it for 8
-10 hours a day on my rides and being able to move my bottom end around
really helps. it has a small back rest between the seats and I think
that helps a lot too.

I had Sargents put in supercell foam front and rear, and bought a logo panel from H*&$%#s to because Sargents don't do logos (the logo was a little crooked on the panel, but the Sargents seamstress made it work). I think it looks sleeker than the solo, and I like the ability to move around on the seat as well. EldoMike wrote:
