Default Anyone running a Danny Gray "Big Seat" or the Mustang "Vintage Solo"?

How do you like it? Ive heard the Danny Gray is a little on the hard side but Im wondering if this may be a good thing? I like the looks of the Danny Gray but what looks good doesnt always work good. Im considering his "Big Seat" or a Mustang "Vintage Solo". Anyone running either of these?

I have Danny Gray solo seats on both of my bikes and really like them.
The "Gel Pad" option will make for a softer ride, but I have not had a problem.

Check out the Motherwell site for luggage racks to go with that solo.

Is that the "Big Seat" on your RG? Does it have the gel?

I had the Big Seat. Not comfortable at all. I currently have the Vintage. Not as low, not as cool, but much more comfortable.

Had 'em both. Mustang Vintage Solo is an "all day" seat. Yes, the "Big Seat" looked cooler on my Street Glide, but 6 hours on that seat and I was DONE and sore. Both Corbin and Danny Gray have reasons for the hard seats - they sound good, but you can't beat a Mustang. And...........the Mustang Vintage Solo really looks good on a Road King (assuming you're putting it on your '09 RKC).

My $0.02 - hope it helps.

I have a vintage solo on mine. Love the ride, although I am still in the break in period. So far it is way more comfortable than the Sundowner that I was using and I can ride longer than before. I also got the one with the backrest which has helped also.

How does either one of these seats compare to Lepera Silhouette Solo?As far as that goes any Lepera solo seat.

I also had a Corbin. Not the solo. Corbin is firm, but comfortable. My opinion of the DG is that it is for looks only. Two hours in that seat and I was crippled.

I have had all of the previously mentioned seats including a couple of LePera's too. Every one of those are way more comfortable than any LePera. If you want to know how comfortable a LePera seat is? They aren't,imagine taking two bricks and covering them in leather,then sitting on it. That should get you pretty close.

I sold my RKC this morning and bought a 2012 Road Glide Custom. Was hoping the Big Seat would ride as good as it looks...
