Why isn't the MOCO offering a decent solo seat for the '09 and '10 touring models? Why are we getting short changed on this? I know I can go aftermarket-I'm just saying. WTH? Sorry about the whine.....

 

For that matter, why don't they offer a decent duel seat on the touring models? There are "many" posts here and elsewhere that testify to how uncomfortable the stock seats are. From what I've seen, most other manufacturers from Honda to BMW don't do any better so Harley's efforts aren't surprising, unfortunately.

Of course, Russell Cycle Products, Corbin, and others aren't complaining!

I bought the Brawler Solo Seat and I like it. I've only put about 100 miles on it but its exactly what I expected it to be.

 

Love my solo Brawler seat.

 

I was wondering the same thing. Just one of the many reasons that I ultimately decided against getting a new H-D.

The Sundowner deep bucket solo saddle on my '03 RK was absolutely the BEST part of the whole bike (the rest of it was a total POS from the get-go!).

 

got a brawler seat on my 10 SG didnt like it at first (kinda hard like a corbin) but now that its had a few miles on it its much better

 

And it will get even better.

 

Two reasons for not-so-good-or-touring seats on touring bikes, IMO, first is cost and the hope that the buyer will upgrade to a better sead and maybe the MOCO gets to sell you a seat twice. And too, if most riders change seats anyway, to suit their size and riding style, why should the company put on a great seat, when a "good" seat will do? Second, the uncomfortable seat looks great in the showroom. My SG seat looked and functioned great until me and my rider started to log on the miles.

It would be great if when buying a H-D you could get the seat you wanted right up front, with the cost of the stock seat not included in the final price.

 

Order a FLHTPI and enjoy the best seat there is anywhere.

 

MOst people buying touring models pal on 2 up riding?
