Default Street Glide Solo Seat

I am looking to put a solo seat on my '13 Street Glide and there are alot of choices out there. I did search the forum here but didn't find what I was looking for, just more questions.

I would like something that is comfortable enough for longer rides, and if you have pictures of it on your bike that would be great.

The Danny Gray Speed Cradle on my 09 Classic has been to Deals Gap once and Bangor many times.So I guess I can say it is good for the long haul.

I like the Danny Gray and C&C seats, but I'm poor. I got a HD Brawler off eBay for $80. It's low and set back, ergonomically the riding position is great but long rides hurts the can.

H-D Brawler...I wouldn;t try a long haul on it!

It's fine for around town.

before buying a new seat, take off the old and see if the fenders are all messed up from the stock seat- it happens.

Thats why I'm trying to decide now as I only have 400+ miles so far.

I am also 6'4" so I could use a little extra leg room also.

The Speed Cradle isn't for you then.It's made for guys like me that have a little shorter wheel base.

I'm 6'2" and have been very happy with my Mustang Solo. I would definately buy the more expensive one with a backrest if I had it to do over again. I have always used an Airhawk but, have been fine without it with the Mustang.

I like my mustang solo seat with the back rest. Longest day in the saddle was 750 miles. 300 mile day on a Saturday is normal. No regrets.

C and C solo.
I'm 6' 1 and I find it very comfortable on long trips including a stupid 24 hr straight run from Sturgis to Toronto last year.

Another C&C Solo fan here. I'm 6'5" and the C&C sits me down and back. Looks good also. I also put extended floorboards and brake and clutch levers to get my legs stretched out a little more.
