Default Seat for 883C

Hi, again. The stock 2 up seat on my 883C is a pain in the ***...literally. Is there a HD seat that provides the comfort I am seeking? I heard the Sundowner seat is pretty good. I was looking at the Mustang seats, but it seems that there are not many options. Does anyone know of any aftermarket companies I can go to? Finally, is the addition of the gel substance worth the extra cost?

Thanks, again....

I put a Mustang vintage solo on my 883/1200C and it raises and moves you forward, just a bit. At 6'2" I wasn't crazy about that part, BUT, it is much more comfortable than the stock seat. I'm glad I got it.

Russl179,

I had the Mustang Vintage Wide Solo on my 883c. Loved it very much. When I traded the Sportser in I road it back to the dealer on the stock seat, and ouch, that was the worst 10 miles. I do have the Mustand seat for sale, if you are interested. I also have the fender bib. I would take $225 plus shipping if you are in the market. I have picture I can e-mail you if you would like to see it on a Black Pearl 883C.

I still have not sat down and learned how to put them on these pages. I will sometime.

I have the pillow two-up as well. It is extremely comfortable and my wife likes riding with me.

H-D Sundowner here. Great seat for the $$, but the other after market seats are excellent also albeit more expensive.

Yea I hate the look of the sundowner, but I've heard nothing but good stuff about its comfort.

I use the Mustang Solo + Pillion, and it is the BEST for comfort... IMO. Its hard to the touch but rides so nice on long ones....

I use a HD Reach Solo seat for around town, it looks GREAT and keeps the rear fender open...

I saw a Mustang fastback style seat that was GREAT... I'm sure its in between in comfort and LOOK AWESOME!!!!
