RE: Seat recommendations from Sportster Riders
LePera Daytona Sport LT Series (LC-542S)
5' 11.5" with a 31" inseam, 190 Lbs.
$200 from dealer with 20% discount.
I love the way it looks and feels. It's very comfortable with good back support. Most of my riding is local and four hours in duration. The seat is covered in vinyl and very well made. I have no complaints and highly recommend it for solo riding.

RE: Seat recommendations from Sportster Riders
The bike is a '07 1200 Low
When my wife was riding the bike:
Mustang Wide Vintage Solo w/Driver Backrest
5' 4"tall
Seat sits you a little higher, moves you back just a little compared to the stock seat.
About 1,200 miles on it.
$500
I highly recommend the Mustange Wide Vintage Solo w/Driver Backrest. The seat is extremely comfortable, and the backrest makes it even more comfortable. It also gives the bike a nice classic look. (The one that was on it had the optional studs)
Now that I'm riding the bike:
Licks Custom Cycles Nutcrack'R Spring Solo
5' 6"tall
When sitting on the seat it is a little lower than stock
About 100 miles on it.
Seat is $250, Mounting Hardware is $115
This seat isn't for everyone. It is definitely a MUCH harder seat because there is only 1/2" of padding. So it pretty much feels like you're sitting right on the seat pan. However, when going over bumps, I find the seat to be more comfortable because it feels like I have two sets of shocks on the bike. Which I do in a sense. One set on the rear, and one set under the seat. Feels like I just float over the bumps. The decision to put this seat on the bike was based solely upon looks with no comfort standards in mind. I love the look!

C%C solo seat moves you back a little bit and also lowers you I am 5'6" and I love the seat very comfy well worth the 240.00.
