Default Recommendations on Comfortable Solo Seats that don't move you forward?

G'day. I have a Fat Bob and looking at getting a solo seat. I'm after something that I can use for long rides so I've been considering a Mustang or the Danny Gray Butt Crack. However I'm 6'1 so don't want anything that will move me forward (my knee is already too close to the heavy breather AC pipe)!

Any recommendations for a comfortable seat that doesn't move you forward or do I have to stick with getting a thinner seat for around town?

Thanks!

the Mustang wide touring w/backrest is what I run. Pics in my albums.
It moved me back one inch, approximately. I'm 6' with 32" inseam.

C&C Sport Tour solo. I have the 2up version, moves you back a little and down a little. Also the C&C guys can customize it however you want your riding position to be

Thanks guys, I also found this sticky link that covers lots of regular topics.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...t-of-dyna.html

Not much on the Danny Gray Butt Crack though.

The Mustang Vintage and C&C sports move you back an 1" hey .... might be about right !!!

That sick saddles looks like an interesting change too!!

May want to look at the Sundowner solo seat. Check with your local dealer and see if the have one you can bolt up to your bike to sit on and get a feel for it. Most dealers will do that if they think they will make a sale...dd50

The standard mustang vintage solo is what I have. Much better than stock and very comfortable. Moved me back a little and down.

I love my Corbin solo seat - took a while break / bed in, but after a couple of years its real comfortable! The backrest really helps with lower back pain from long rides too!

Well I will offer up what is comfortable for me, to each azz his own, some will disagree but I guess it depends on the rider. I will say that I love my Lepera Bare Bones solo, it's 100X's more comfy than the stock solo, it actually puts you back a bit which I like (I'm 6'2") I can rip off a tank of fuel not stopping once and my azz is no worse for wear. I bought mine second hand so maybe someone else suffered through the break in for me.
