Default In search of Solo Seat

I have an '11 FXS Blackline and in search of a good solo seat. I don't like the one that HD offers that is a sprung seat. I have talked to C&C and they don't have the time to go look at a Blackline to see if they can make one and don't currently offer any. I have pretty much run into the same issue with the other vendors such as LePera, Corbin, and don't even get a response from Mustang. Anyone know of a good shop that is willing to make a seat?

It's a new bike, you may have to wait a while for the aftermarket to catch up. I have not paid much attention to this model yet, but have you tried to put a regular softail seat on it?

Still no specific options outside of custom or modifying an existing product, and I haven't seen anything I like yet. I wonder if the Softail Slim seat would work on the Blackline. These bikes have a similar profile. Anyone have access to one to try?

Isn't that the one from the Slimline in your sig pic? You don't like that one and are looking for something else right? I agree that you're going to have to wait for the aftermarket to catch up if you're going to want something specific to that bike. You might check around for someone with seats in stock and see if anything else fits. Check the HD site for other softails, like the deluxe, where the seat might fit.
