Default Single seat Electra Glide

I have a 2007 Electra with a quick detach trunk.

Does anyone have a single rider seat they use and like.

Any Pictures?

What seat Model?

How about comfort?

Can I still use the rider backrest?

Don't know how much this helps. My '03 FLHTI with HD Sundowner solo. More comfortable than the stock unit. I have a chopped tour pak and passenger gear I use during the summer.

I have an 09 so the new frame- and different seats than what is available for your bike.

I took off the tourpak and the stock seat is a huge turd visually- so I have since bought a street glide seat which is about 1.5" lower, maybe a little farther back. tapered section on the rear fender which could carry a 90 pound girl...
Seat has good support to keep you from sliding back, has even support and good "***-steering". it is firm and for me, fine for 4 hours. way uncomfortable at 6 hours. I also went to street glide pass pegs to lighten up the rear visually a bit
this seat will work with the HD backrest.
Cool thing is so many Guys take them off...they are cheap.

I also have a H-D Brawler seat, low flat narrow solo seat. just put it on and so far it seems like it'll be good around town.
Seating position is low and to the rear quite a bit- seat may not work for riders under 6 feet.

BTW I like Redline, Nick has done me some favors.

It's a Road King, not an Electra Glide, but the Corbin solo for the e-glide is similar, except for the longer nose. I think Corbin really has great looking seats.

I have a Corbin Classic Solo on my 08 Ultra and really like it. You can get a backrest from them that will work on their seats. I don't think HD has a solo seat that allows for the use of their backrest.

Default Mustang Solo with Backrest

I have the Mustang Solo with backrest. Is narrower then stock which lets me get both feet on the ground better. Is more comfortable then stock.
