C&c seats!

Solo with or without a backrest! Comes in standard or short inseam models.

The BEST bang for the buck. Comfy, comfy, comfy!

Good luck,

YB

I am a Corbin fan, even with awful customer service they still make the most comfortable seats, next to Russell. Don't really like the C C seat I have. Need sell it along with a Danny Gray.

Most women I've met hate Corbins, they are to hard. I have a Corbin butt. I have 3 of them. Never had to use customer service but service before the sale was good. I'm 5'6" with a 29" inseam. They work fine for me. So does the original HD Hammock (rider only). Have you bought boots with thicker soles and heels? You would be surprised what an extra inch does for you. You can borrow a hammock at a HD dealer and take it out on a shakedown cruise.

I'm 5'7 with a 30' inseam, here is my C&C solo on my 2010 Ultra. In my opinion there is no comparison between this seat and any Harley seat. C&C is excellent quality and customer service.

I have a Danny Gray Speed Cradle Solo from my wife's SGS that works well for her.

She's 5'2"

True; the Russell Day Long is 1.5" to 2" taller than a stock height Harley seat. I was going to buy one but decided against it for this reason. They are great seats if they fit you.

My Corbin is EXTREMELY comfy... lower than stock, but the base feels wider, so not good for a shorter guy. Not that I'm tall...

Yes they are the best I have found. I own a corbin classic solo with backrest and pillion, but ended up leaving my Russell seat on year round. Heck I bought one for my ST1300 also. They are not short people friendly. I believe mostly Its the wings that make the seat so comfortable that hinders shorter people's ability to touch the ground when stopped.
