Just ordered the Wide Glide conversion from Jireh. $330. Thats less than another seat would cost. That ought to plump up the front and get the proportions back in line. I'll post up a pic next week when I get it on the bike. You late model guys already have fat front ends so the big seats seem to flow a little better. I think this will work out. The more I stare at the seat, the more its growing on me.

Would you be willing to sell the original seat?

I had the same seat. Looked retarded and I sold it on eBay. And since neither my wife nor my girlfriend want to ride with me, I just got a Mustang Vintage Solo Seat. I even took off the footpegs.

There doesn't seem to be an ideal solution for the Dyna. What I would like is a good looking solo seat and a quick and easy conversion to a dual seat. Like pop off the solo, pop on the dual. Should be a no-brainer, but I haven't found anyone that makes such a thing.

I put a Corbin Classic Solo on mine, and got one of those suction cup pillions that pop on and off real easy. I have been surprised at how well this setup works. I also have the HD quick-disconnect sideplates, and can snap a backrest and rack in place. So it goes from solo to 2-up fairly well. Still, I would like to be able to put on a better dual setup for long distance with a passenger.

Here we are on the Blue Ridge Parkway a few weeks ago. She's not huge by any means, but she's no 110 lb waifer. She wants to be comfy and we often take pretty long trips. I guess I'll give it a try and if the wife likes it, it stays.
