Best solo seat for an iron?

The mustang vintage solo is not a bad looking seat, see attached pic. Stock seat is in sig pic. If you do any serious riding, you'll continue to spend money on seats until you arrive at a mustang or sundowner type seat. I've got seats hanging on the wall, been there done that. You just won't find a low profile seat that provides all day comfort.

I bought a C&C LoPro Solo in leather. It looks nice but I have limited saddle time with it to comment on comfort, although it is much better than the stock rock (hard to get much worse).
I was planning on doing a write-up after a couple hundred miles.
Sorry Dont have any good pics yet.

Only when the passenger pad is on does it look goofy to me. It's very comfortable. After I put it on, I never moved it until recently. I can handle the stock seat fine for the back and forth to work, and around town. If I know I'm going to go further or ride most of the day, I just swap it back. The stock seat looks better.
Mustang:
Sidekick: Hot garbage...front tang pops out from under tank on bumps...
Lepera sorrento: Don't let the looks fool you, this was the WORST seat I tried.
I've spent way too much money on seats. I didn't listen and get the mustang first.

If any bars go on, they'll be higher with more pull back. The "drag" bars (as HD calls them) that are on it, get uncomfortable after an hour or so. I dig the spoiler and fairing...gives it that stealth cafe look. Sure wish it had suspension to match. Put forwards on last weekend to try out for awhile. If I did a broomstick or flat bar, it would absolutely need pull back risers to be tolerable for me. That would require figuring out how to keep the speedo where it is, tucked neatly behind the visor. I like it there. I want to try the quarter fairing one day, just to see how much wind it can move. The visor has a minimal effect, and then it's only at freeway speeds, I feel less wind on the chest, would like to deflect just a little bit more.

Has anyone tried the circulator seat pads from Harley? I like how it can easily be taken off when you don't need 'em.

Veritas.archangel - Love your GP. I went to a small HS in Nebraska and our drivers ed car was a brand new fully loaded 76 Grand Prix two door in a dark burgundy color. Talk about a cool car to learn to drive in! Beautiful car and I've loved them ever since. My wife always gets pissed when we see one and I point this out to her because her school had the ugly four door LeMans in the ever lovely tan.
