This looks pretty nice. You're bike looks pretty similar to mine too, so this pic helps me get a good idea what mine will look like. thanks!

Thanks, if you do end up getting the seat I'd recommend sitting on it if they have one on a bike in the dealership if you can. But I was a little worried at first because you are so far in the stock seat that hard acceleration would slip my but out, so far I havent had a problem at all. A little looser feeling then stock when hammering it but I like it. At speed I usually put my feet on the passenger pegs and its a lot more comfortable in that position then the stock seat.

Nice bike!

Was thinking of getting a Sorrento for my 2011 Sporty. How do you like it? I am currently using a Le Pera Aviator solo which I love, but looking for streamline 2-up seat. The aviator has good back support and keeps me in my seat when throttling. But it also raises me about an inch from stock so I am considering the Sorrento, the Sillouette 2-up, or customize my stock. Is the passenger padding over-bearing to keep a streamline look on the bike? The second pics appears pretty streamline.

Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Heres mine with the LePera Bare Bones.
Love the seat but I've ordered a Mustang Tripper fastback to give me the option of carrying a passenger and hopefully it will keep me from sliding off on hard acceleration.

Heres a shot of the Biltwell HB Tuck and roll seat I had on my "72". Loved the looked on it, and was lightyears ahead of stock 72 seat on comfort and function.
