Need to replace Seat on Cop Glide with a "reach" style rider/passanger seat.

Do no want to lower bike but need to get it down so that it is not so top heavy when riding 2 up.

I short but heavier than your average bear. Mama is the small one of the family, but the added weight up high makes the bikea bit squirrelyat start up and stopping.

Is factroy "reach" seat the answer or are there other options?

Thank You

 

I was wondering the same thing about a new seat for the street Glide. I'm 5'3 and was looking for something a little lower than the reach or sundowner seat. After watching this forum, I'm a true believer in Mean City cycles seat mods. That is what I will be doing when mine comes in. I've heard nothing but great reviews concerning the workmanship and customer service. Check them out, they are a sponsor of this site listed along the right side of the website...best thing is that the prices are GREAT!

 

Give Allen at Mean City Cycles a call. He is a sponsor on the site. Really cool guy to talk to and everything I have read so far says his work is top notch. He has my seat right now so I will post up when I get it back. He is moving me forward with a little reshaping and lowering and widening the passenger seat for my RK.

 

Great idea

what seat do we start with due to the Cop glide having the solo air seat

Thank You

 

This is a very good idea. Allen does great work. Talk to him on the phone and he can give you some good ideas.

 

Allen will re-cover YOUR seat, make height adjustments etc. And obviously does a great job from the recommendations here.
(He doesnt have seat pans to make a new seat.I asked)
But when I find a seat for him to cover (solo), I plan on sending it to himfor a 105th Anniversary (type) Solo seat. Or material close to it.

 

Stock Seat is a solo air seat.

Don't think that can be lowered enough to accopolish what we need
