Solo seats on Airheads.
 

I'm liking the solo seat look on 'heads.I'd like to put one on my naked R100 R/T.Any pics out there,and sources?Did you make your own,or adapt?Many thanks in advance.

I think you'll find that everyone went every which way. Some became concerned of showing a 'naked butt' in the newly uncovered area behind a solo and did other stuff :evil

I cut down a worn out king/queen seat pan and ended with this.

At my age I don't often just break out in a smile at a photo (women's photos notwithstanding) but I sure did at that one - what a cool set up!

I kinda like the denfield police seats. I've never sat on one, so can't comment on the comfort, but I like the fact that they're a little longer than most solo seats and give you a little more scooting around space. Kind of a solo-and-a-half seat.

I've got one on my 90/6. I love it. Touring seat par excellence. They definitely are a solo-and-a-bit seat allowing a bit of a shift around on long rides. Compared to the solo seat on my G/S, the denfield seat is more a a seat you sit in, rather than something you straddle over- but being nice and flat you can slide around a bit and don't get locked into position or anything.
Comfortable and look just right to my eyes.

I wish someone made a foam moulding for it though. I re-foamed mine myself and although it is comfortable still for me, it is pretty clapped out already- I used foam that just isn't going to last too long. Next time I might try buying one of the G/S single seat foam mouldings from siebenrock, and then trim it and add on to it in order to get it to fit the denfield pan and cover.

Nice!I like em both.Kinda like these too.

There are a number of European sites doinmg seats and racks for airheads. Motobins and 2 cos. in Germany whose name I can't recall. But I bought a single seat & frame from one of them and they were both cheaper than Siebenbock. Sorry I can't help more.

i made my own seat pan and seat. Can find a build thread on it here in this very forum. So far I have about 600 miles on the seat and I'm still happy with it. Leaves me about 6 inches of scoot back room. My ass gets a bit sore after about the 2 hr mark, but that's about normal.

Have fun

Here's one I had on my naked /7. I thoroughly enjoyed that bike ... and I still have the seat. I just sold the bike to a guy in Hoboken, NJ. He got a great deal ...

Thanks! Here's a few more pics of it:

this is my custom fab'd solo seat.

This seat is off a HD Sportster, a work in progress, it's currently attached with a gate hinge and flips up toward the back..:puke1 I need to fab a slick latching system and a better hinge/sub frame interface.
