Default Pics of Road Glides with solo seat?

Howdy,

I am selling my RKC and getting a RG. I am sold on the comfort of that fairing and I dig the look. After riding a RG it made my RK feel like a loud crazy beast, and the RG felt like a 2 wheel corvette....smoooooth--and gauges and a radio, and hard bags.... forgetaboutit--- I'm in.

I will be putting a solo seat on it and was wondering if anyone else has, and had pics?

Thanks! I'll be back to read up on windshield advice...

I run solo 99.9% of the time, I love the look of a solo bagger.

2807,

Did you also want to know the manufacturer of those seats being shown?

I'm looking also, so it would be a big help to me too.

MFRs please!!?

My seat is a Corbin. I'm 6'5" and if you look at the pic with the Mustang and then mine, you can see that I am a lot further back. Yes, the w/s is a 12", and it is one of the only compromises I've made on my bike. It looks better than it performs, however, I ride a motorsickle, and if I wanted no wind I'd drive a car.

Default Night Glide-- nice

Thanks. I will be looking at all the seats. I here great things about Corbin. I like the blackout look...that thing is mean.

As soon as i sell my 07 RKC I'll be buying the RG. I rode one and just fell in love with it. One for sale near me 07, 6k mies, Black w/orange stripe....very very nice, for 17k. I would get it today if I could.

Soon....

Any other RG advice would be appreciated!! I am reading up on the windshield buffeting issue.. I wont know for sure until I ride my own and see what I need.

Beemervet,

How long have you had your Corbin Solo?
