Before:



I took the saddlebag off and said "ugh"

Jettjocky – Looks GREAT on your CERG.   Is this the 15” solo with driver backrest # 79600 and fender bib # 78064? Does the seat fit into existing H-D hardware or did you have to purchase a particular mounting kit?  My CERG won't arrive until June so I have no idea what's under the standard seat.

5100 miles and I am loving every mile. Not one problem but I did change the windshield to a Kuryakyn sport windshield. It gives the bike a more sporty look. Will post pictures tomorrow.

Just tell Mustang you want the solo seat for the SERG, advise if you want back rest, and if you want the separate pass. seat, at the time I ordered it no part number was yet assigned.  As to comfort, yes, I had a Mustang solo on my o4 bike & rode it 80K, then sold it to a buddie that is still riding it.

Just came op on 8000 miles and LOVE THE BIKE!!
Have had several rides through the winding mountain roads and it moves very somoothly in and out of all the turns. Like all Glides it cuts through wind like no other HD.
draw backs are minimal, the gap between the tank and seat grows and my seat is has a larger gap on the right side.
know your reset for the security system as I ran into some electronic interference on a run and the system would not respond to my fob. easily fixed when reset. (read your manual)
The cruise control sticks abit at times, other than that
LOVE THE BIKE. HD did it right

That mustang looks good.  How is the riding position compaired to stock?

Is it the same hight or move you up?

Does it move you forward or about the same?

I ask cause I like the mustang solo on my fatboy but it moved me up 1 and forward one.  Not sure I want to do that on the SERG

To be very honest, & I assume that's what you want, I guess maybe a little higher than stock, maybe a touch forward, but with out switching back and forth, which I really have no interest in doing I can't tell you, all I know is I have made the transition in handle bars &  ultra seat position to the RG which I how find is very comfortable.

Thanks for the answer.

You were quicker than mustang.  Both you and mustang indicate it will move you up and forward.

Mustang said one inch up and one inch forward from a stock RG seat.

Unfortunatly that is not what I want, I want the same position as stock SERG.  That is to bad, as I am very happy with the solo mustang on my fatboy.

Its down to the Danny Gray and Corbin solo's now.  Most likely the Danny Gray.

It`s an awesome ride and makes fun without end , i am proud to have it , the engine , the frame excellent .
The seat is bad , not really comfortable , the radio makes " knister-knister " ( like the channel has sending-faults , mmh ) .

I've got nothing right now... I am actually checking into going back to being a cop... we'll see how that works out.

Crusty – do you mean a cop with the AF or are you getting out and going back to civilian life.  How many years have you invested with the AF?
