took the bike for a good scoot about 600 klm this past week, was using the factory gunfighter seat which was not to bad but not great, i have a solo seat, the one that newspeedmaster sells, its a nice seat but i find it to hard for long rides, also the height is a bit low and the OEM one a bit high. Is there a solo seat out there that is in between both of these but still comfy on long rides? I am also putting a rivco risers on the bike to bring the bars back a tad, i have short arms and they are always stretched out to the max to get to them LOL .

I have a Corbin gunfighter, sits a bit lower and slightly forward. It is also quite a bit firmer, but no more monkey butt. If you want to see it in person I'm on the east end of town, send me a PM.

+1 on the Maverick. I recently installed one on my 2010 America and love it. The lower seat really helps low speed maneuverability as a unexpected bonus. Very comfortable and looks great. I put a tan seat on my blue/white bike and it really stands out.
