Hello everyone! Long-time lurker here in need of advice. I have a 2002 Bonneville America and it had the 'gunfighter' seat on it when I got it. I think I would prefer a solo seat and some type of backrest. I'm 5'10" and 230 lbs with a 30" inseam. What solo-type seat would you suggest and what backrest would work with that seat? Anyone have a seat, backrest and/or fender mounted luggage rack you think would work for me? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks! Just sent Fast Eddy an email asking about the backrest. Asking him for info on a possible new solo seat and need some tires, too. I appreciate everyone's willingness to help a rookie like me.

corbin seats are very expensive but they're great.
Might be worth looking for a used one because people take them off when they're selling.

Thanks for the Corbin seat idea. I would be very interested if anyone has one for sale. I'll also look locally if no one has anything here.

Another vote for the Corbin w/backrest. I bought mine from a member here and have been very happy with it. But I also have one of these for longer rides. https://www.harley-davidson.com/store/ci...w&gclsrc=dsI put it on top of the Corbin and it allows air to circulate in high humidity. No swamp ass - ever.
