Default Brawler solo seat installed, it rocks!

Hi all, finally I made up my mind and bought the Brawler solo seat. Weather isn't too bad today, I put it on and took it for an hour ride. Wow! I love it, it is comfy and stylish, good looking seat. Before I bought this seat, I have been hunting for a good month, test ride a few different seats on my friend's bikes includes lepera barebone, sundowner and mustang solo. Lepera looks the best but I slide around, I can't seem to find my riding position. Sundowner and mustang seats are comfy but they look a bit too big to my taste. I pulled my trigger and ordered this Brawler solo, it is a bit expensive but it is worth every cent. I didn't like the quick release bolt, I replaced it with a skull head mounting bolt. I totally fall in love with this seat, highly recommended.

Looks good, I can't decide on a seat either, it's driving me nuts.

I have tried both Brawler and Lepera barebone, the Brawler is more comfortable. Like I said, I can't seem to find my sitting position on the barebone seat, I was sliding all over the place. I also compare barebone and brawler side by side, the barebone has less material and support, it is really thin. If you want the look only, barebone looks slim and hot for sure. I like Brawler because it looks and feels good. It is a tough call when it comes to seat. By the way, nice color you have seven7.

That is a good looking seat, 128auto; flows with the lines of the Sportster nicely. Maybe if I got one of those I could keep all these damn women from jumpin' on the back when I ride through town.

I have modified my solo seat so much that it finally feels like I can enjoy it some. Removing the leather, trimming the foam, re-applying the leather on several occasions. Thank goodness for staple guns and staples. My next move will be to buy some gel pads available on lne in sheets that I can cut to the form that I want, should I need it yet. I like doing things like that to make the bike all mine in one way or another.
