Ready to Customize your Harley Davidson? Start with the Seat. With all the chrome pieces, handle bars, wheels, exhausts, and other upgrades available, the seat is often overlooked as a place to start customizing your bike. However, nothing can change the look of a bike and improve the enjoyment of riding as drastically as this most basic accessory. For instance, if you want to go for the “low” look, you don’t necessarily have to mess with the suspension. Another way to take your bike down a half inch or so is to fit it with a low-profile seat.
There are many manufacturers of this style. One of the most popular is Danny Gray. With leather seating area, gel insert, and available custom hides you can get a seat that is perfect for the look and comfort you are looking for. Or you can streamline your bike’s profile by pairing it with a Le Pera solo seat. Danny Gray makes the Big Seat that’s great for touring bikes and those searching for an uncluttered look. Of course, for many of us, style comes secondary to comfort. If you’re the type of rider who wants to keep his or her kidneys intact above all else, then a Mustang touring seat is obviously the way to go. Another option is the Saddlemen Road Sofa. The downfall to this seat is looks and durability.
It’s easy to switch seats, and in just a few minutes you have a completely different ride. Because of this versatility, many riders keep several styles around. For instance, a solo option for bar hopping and short commuting and then something more comfy for longer weekend rides. No matter what your situation, there’s a seat out there for you.
