Default Looking for a solo seat.

I am looking for a solo seat for my xl883. What do you suggest? I don't have a lot of lettuce to buy one. I just like the look of the bike a lot better set up solo. I also want the ability to put my Sundowner back on for the very few occations my wife will go with me.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I strongly suggest you try the stock nightster seat. Go sit on one. You can find them cheap from guys replacing them for two-up's......it fit perfectly on my '07 xl1200c and will also fit those with peanut tanks.

I have a stock solo seat off of a 2005 883L if you are interested. PM me and we can talk if you are.

Barebones is not the most comfortable seat in the world but it does look good IMO

I like them, but $154 is a little steep for me. I hate this economy.

I went to the Stealership today to check this out. I appreciate the suggestion. I think I am going to try to find a nightster seat.
