Default Low Profile Solo VS Brawler Seat

Thanks to the help of people on the forums I have a new set of Drag Bars set to go on this coming monday but now im in another dilema, im going to get a new seat, as comfortable as the 2 up pillow look touring seat is, I dont do any 2up riding as of yet (im a noob) but it'll be nice to have the touring seat when I do. However, it dosent look the least bit attractive in my opinion. I'm considering moving to a solo seat, however I'm facing a bit of a dilema. I'm going back and forth between two seats from HD,

The Brawler Seat:

269.00$

&

The Low Profile Solo:

139.95$


The Brawler looks better to me, but then again the extra 130$ I save is nice too....

Help me decide

You'll only think about the price once when you buy it, but you will think about the seat every time you ride. Get the one that is most comfortable to you.

I highly recommend a Mustang seat. I have attached links to both a 2up and solo seat. The solo will run you about $180 which is right in the middle of the two you are looking at. You can always add the passenger pillion later if you like, but it will cost you more than if you just bought the 2up seat. I've put about a thousand miles on my bike since I got mine and wish I got it sooner.

I love this questions regarind the Solo. I'm in the market and can't decide. Went to a local dealer one rainy day this week and the parts person was a complete A$$hole... I really like the looks of the brawler, but would love to see it in person. To add to this, would you put the license plate some place else, or leave it as is?

I bought a laydown thinger for it so it dosent look as bad as the one in the picture and NY says a side mount plate is illegal (because people cant read vertically i guess) and because of the fairing i cant have the plate go between the front fender and the headlight, the other option i was thinking was one of those mounting kits that lets the plate hang off of the rear fender but the laydown was such a pain to put on i dont want to take it off

The brawler is a great seat and looks better than most.
I had a lepera barebones, and it was crappy.
Brawler is a little pricy but damn it looks good.
