Question for Street Gliders

Anyone running a Sundowner solo on their Street Glide? How is the fit with the tank dash? If you are running another solo seat, what is it and how is the fit? Thanks

Have a Corbin Classic Solo and a Corbin Dual Tour for my Street Glide. Run with the Classic Solo, except when I carry a pasenger. Both seats have the capability to run with a backrest, which I highly recommend, I don't think the Sundowner has that option. Classic Solo has Corbins key lock, which is nice (harder to steal), the Dual Tour mounts the same as a stock seat.
I also have a Corbin Hollywood Solo and a Gambler for my 04 FLHRS. They both look better than the Classic and the Dual Tour, but not as comfortable, for longer rides.
I don't have any issues with fit on any of my Corbins.

I have the corbin classic solo. I got mine before the bugs were out of the key lock system and I was realy, really worried for a while but Corbin came thru. The last seat they sent overnite. I have never had a finer ,better made seat than my corbin. I have about 5000 miles since Feb. no problems!

Matt,
I have the Corbin solo, and it fits like the stock seat at the dash panel. It is firmer than the HD seat (I also have the HD Sundowner dual seat, nice, but a bit soft) and does not offer much back support, but is very comfortable and excellent build quality. It looks and feels like it will last a very long time. I special ordered mine with the stich pattern and their rider backrest hole covered, but should have had them cover up the 2 chrome bolt holes on each side for their V-rail. Thier mounting sytem is different than stock, but is easy to install, now that they finally made the front bracket right. It also locks on, a nice feature, but another damn key! If you would like pictures, email me.
