Default 9", 10" or 11" Solo Pan Seat?

So I'm going to have a Solo Pan Seat made and I'm trying to figure out the width I want it to be. I leaning towards the 10" size any reason to go to the 11" or 9"?

i'd go 11". just ordered a west eagle seat that's 11.5 and that seems like perfect width. here's an 11.5 west eagle mounted to a custom build for reference.

After riding some of each I like the wider one much better.

i'd go with as wide a seat as i could possibly find. i dont like when my *** hurts. i guess it doesn't matter if you spend all your time rubing your bike with a towel.

I ride...and clean my bikes. I don't see why wanna be's bitch & whine when someone likes a clean bike. I brush my teeth too but since you're heavier than me you obviously eat more, therefore...well, you get it. But I don't own any shirts with wolves on them or one from every HD dealership in the entire United States so maybe I'm not a real rider at all...?

If you truly ride soooo much you don't have time to wash your bike then I envy you. But...that's usually not the case when someone is being bashed for washing their bike.

End rant.

Again, I vote for the wider seat.
