Beav what Corbin model is this? I love how it looks on your bike!

 

Not a Road King, but when I stripe down my Ultra, I use a C&C Solo Seat. It's on the firm side, but very comfortable for me. Pushes me down and back, 6'2" 34 inseam. This is my favorite seat. If only C&C would make a pillion like the stock Ultra seat for my wife and this seat would be my only seat, single and two up.

 

I thought I would offer some perspective on a Mustang solo seat. I ordered the Mustang Vintage Solo for my 2011 RKC. The Mustang seat places me 1" higher and about 1" to 1-1/2" further back compared to my 2011 stock seat (I'm 5-9" with a 30" inseam). My 2011 RKC stock seat is actually perfect for me. I thought I read somewhere that HD lowered the touring seats by 1" in 2011. For me, that's been throwing off the fitment information that I've been gathering from manufacturers and from online seat feedback that I've read.

Mustang says their Vintage Super Solo sits further back than their Vintage Solo. That might be very close to what you're looking for.

There's a considerable restocking fee with the reseller I bought my seat from, so I'm thinking of having Mean City completely redo this seat to work for me.

I wanted to post a follow up of my impressions of the Mustang Vintage Solo. I've decided to keep the seat and have put about 150 miles on it. While riding, the seat does raise me up about 1" (I can tell from where my line of sight is relative to the top edge of the windshield) and it sits me back only about 1/2" from stock (2011 stock seat). It is a very comfortable seat and is completely "ride-able" for me.

My initial impression was strictly from straddling the bike which was shortsighted on my part. I determined that there's too much padding at the edge of the seat for me and when making the effort to flat foot, I am being pushed forward almost into a standing position. I have an appointment to have Mean City Cycles do their modification which will include lowering the seat by 1" and narrowing. Lowering by 1" apparently also has the effect of moving me forward by about 1/2". I think these minor tweaks can make this seat exactly what I want. I'll post again when I evaluate the mods.

 

I just got a new Mustang Day Tripper last week, I also picked up a Mustang pillon pad as well. I haven't rode with it yet because of the weather. However, I ran the same seat on my Dyna Streetbob and loved it!
