I am ordering a new C&C seat next week from Dr. Vtwin. I am stuck between the solo and the fastback. I have an 08 Fatboy. I think I like the looks of the solo better but am not sure about the comfort. I am wondering if it gives any back support at all? Can anyone that owns or has tried either comment? Which do you think looks better? It is rare I carry passengers and could just toss the stock seat on for that. I don't know if the fastback seat would be very safe to carry a passenger on anyway...

 

for Solo riding,, I made my own rear supporter out of the stock pillion seat after I bought the wife the tourning pillion....then covered it to match the bags.

I tried to ride with just a bib,,,, but when I got on her I felt like I was sliding off the rear end of the bike.

Didn't like it at all and needed something more... with the stock front seat,,, which I also love.

Having shattered a vertebra in my back yrs ago this supports me and can ride all day riding plus I love the looks of it..

 

you wont get any back support from a solo , but depending on how your bike is set-up you may not get actual back support from any seat unless you are leaning back or at least straight up. I run a solo , wife runs a fastback . only advantage I see with a fastback is when you need to push off backwards it gives you something to push against.

 

Their solo has a lot of back support for a solo. Take a look at the curve on mine. That is a lot more back support than any seat that is near flat across. Take it from someone who actually has the same seat. LOL. I have never run tehir fastback so I really don't know about how that fits. My seat is theri LoPro solo which is only available for softails without the 200mm tire.

go solo

 

Man that seat looks great! It helps to have the rest of your bike surrounding it though Best looking Fatboy I have seen...I am still leaning towards the solo. I think the comments above were directed at non C&C seats and the C&Cs are different than most...Is your low pro still pretty comfortable? How does it compare to the regular solo in that aspect?

 

The C&C is far more comfortable than the stock solo. The stock solo is flat in comparison. Also for those interested, the C&C LoPro solo is only made for 2000-2006 softails, 1984-1999 softails, and 06-- present with 200 mm tires. No LoPro Solo available for the 06-10 Deluxe and Heritage for some reason.

i have the c&c on my fat boy, definitely not the most comfortable for distance, i have done a few 4 and 500 mile days and you feel it at days end but a few beers takes care of that. great seat for 1 and 200 mile days, no back support. i have a mustang solo on my street glide with backrest it's a great seat with good back support.

 

I'd go solo because they're more comfortable.

 

I have the fastback on my streetbob and love the support it gives my tailbone. I have done several 1000+km days with no problems at all. C+C make a great product as far as I am concerned and I cant imagine you would be disappointed with either choice.
