Default Best Looking Solo Seat -- What's your Opinion??

Greetings and Salutations;

I like the bare-fender look on a bagger. Part of that look is getting just the right solo seat. Here's where you come in.

After looking at the Harley "Signature Series Solo Seat with Rider Backrest" yesterday in a dealership showroom, I decided it was time to ask all of you for your opinions. I won't say what the opening in that seat would look like if you removed the backrest -- I'm afraid we would lose the PG rating on this thread if I did .

Given that I will use the seat without the backrest unless I'm going on a longer trip, which solo seat looks the best on our touring bikes?

That is correct! rocknrod, in my opinion I like your set-up. Can you tell me what seat you have and is the luggage rack from the H-D catalog?

Going to step in here and say that is prolly the Mustang solo with rider backrest and a motherwell rack.... I have the Mustang solo and do not like the look without the 8" pilon. Just my .02.

The C&C or the HD Brawler "looks" the best to me, but I cannot speak for their comfort.

Corbin with the rail around the back looks awsome. I had one on my 99 and really liked the look and comfort

HD Brawler for looks, but others will be better for comfort!

Here's a couple. I bought the Danny Gray ( the first pic) for more back support but think I should have gone with their long haul or a Le Pera since this one has a sm hump in middle that I'm trying to get broke in, else I'll have to get it shaved dn. The cheap one fr Am Classic ( 2nd pic) was comfortabel and I like the looks better but my old back wanted a little more support.
