RE: I love my C&C
Greg -
just an FYI although sounds like you may have already narrowed down your options, the Mustang Vintage Solo standard width moves you BACK about 1" from stock, and is a little taller than stock (until broken in?). Very high quality and easily found for around $160. Maybe not quite as sleek as some others (C&C, LePera, etc), but looks great and it is very comfortable and narrows nicely towards the front so legs plant on the ground easily despite slight increase in height. Corbin also makes a quality solo seat (Hollywood model) in leather. A bit firmer than most for the first few hundred miles as it molds itself to your butt, and a little more money (although they did just lower their prices), but great quality and comfort on long rides (a Trotter thumbs up BTW).

Greg, I'm glad you posed this question. I think when I'm home I'm going to look into having my Brawler Solo modified. I love how it looks on my bike, but it pushes me too far forward and I end up sitting on the rear lip of the seat.
