Default Solo version of stock Fat Bob seat?

I own a 2016 Fat Bob and really like the stock seat. I don't tour, but I can ride for an hour or two and it doesn't bother me at all. The little bit of back rest is nice too as it holds you in under acceleration well.

That said, I would like it even more if it were a solo seat. Does anyone have experience with a seat that is just as comfortable, works well for a tall guy, doesn't push you forward, and doesn't look like it came off of a lay-z-boy?

Try the solo seat off a Lowrider S?

It has that same little back rest that holds you in place and is by far the most comfortable seat I've had on a bike. However I have not toured with it yet, but see no reason why it wouldn't be perfect for me.

I wish they made a passenger version to match, lol. Maybe I'll try a FatBob seat.

Great. I'll try a Lowrider S out in a dealership and see how well it compares. Fit is important, for sure.

All suggestions welcome. Just trying to narrow down my options. The internet has too many of them!

Thanks Crazy. Looking at the Danny Gray Black Leather BigIST Solo Seat - FA-DGE-0271 and the Danny Gray Black Leather MinimalIST Solo Seat - FA-DGE-0251. Does anyone have experience with these? They both look reasonable to me.

Just a hunch, but a seat with the name "Minimalist" or "BareBones" (a LePera seat) is probably geared more towards looks than comfort.
