For those who like to ride low and lean on a solo seat, Harley-Davidson released a minimalist leather-over-steel Bobber style Solo Seat (P/N 52000180, $299.95) Thick, distressed black leather is bonded directly to the formed steel seat pan and secured with brass rivets and a trim plate etched with “Milwaukee Since 1903” that will develop a rich patina with use. The Bar & Shield logo is burned into the leather surface.
This seat can be springs or rigid mounted. Get a traditional bobber look with a model-specific torsion-style Spring Seat Installation Kit, or go completely minimalist with a frame-hugging Rigid Mount Saddle Installation Kit (P/N 52100016, $229.95) for 2010-later Sportster® motorcycle models. The Bobber Solo Saddle fits 2004-06 and 2010-later Sportster, 2006-later Dyna® and 2008-later CVO Softail® Deluxe, Softail® Slim, Heritage Softail® Classic, Softail® Deluxe, Fat Boy® and Fat Boy® Lo models. At Harley-Davidson Store.
I must say it looks very good…if you don’t mind or even like the HD logo on the seat.
Definate article for show bikes , and perfect for the budding masochist.
Great solo seat, Harley
Cyril. Great headline. Great seat, I think.
Like The Seat. Speaking from experience, This seat will get the following question asked every time, “is that seat comfortable”, “bet you cant ride far on that seat”.
Gets old, but worth it…

Cool, but ouch!
That logo randomly placed on there is going to drive me fucking nuts
Can’t even imagine that seat rigid mounted. Form over function.
That even makes the seat on my Wide Glide look comfortable.
Actually the split pad seat I designed on my Pro-Tour ‘S’ is only 3/8 inch impact gel with 1/8 inch foam over that and its surprisingly comfortable, so people may be pleasantly surprised how comfortable this is on an all day ride.
