I like the low seat, and I don't want anything too wide, but does anyone know of a seat that might let me sit a little further back and not push into my tailbone? I'm average heigt, 5'10" with a 32" inseam and I like to be a little back from the tank.

Oh, and an edit- I want to keep the solo seat style, but have the option of adding a passenger seat occasionally.

Thanks!
Dude you're not alone....

I'm currently having the same issues but I think my issue is caused by my gargantuan size.

I've been speaking with the Dr. via email and doing a boat load of research and have decided that I'm going to get the C&C solo.

I was looking into the LePera barebones but I don't think it's going to be all that comfortable.

I've heard nothing but good things about the C&C seat.

My problem stems from taking the passenger pillion off. The 2 screws dig into my back/*** so I need something that goes a little higher but sits me back a few inches.

C&C did my work on the Deluxe seat as well as on my Sportster. They're only 10 miles from here. Nice people and not expensive.

You could also check out Mad City Cycles. They can redo your stock seat for ya. I have read many post about people who did this and are very pleased.
