I also like the look and how comfortable the seat is.  I removed the passenger seat, but put it back on for the additional support. 

Ha, yea it looks great w/o the pillion, but that 110b has so much pull, you need the pillion to keep from getting tossed off the back of the bike   

[Saljemar]

I totally agree that you need the pillion.

I love the stock CVO Breakout Seat. No issues at all.  I think it is the most comfortable seat I have ever ridden. I can ride for mile and miles without my tail bone hurting at all. I think it has a great "pocket" feel. Plus with the passenger pilon on, it gives you a little extra back support. No complaints here.

the pilon on mine is flappin in the wind very poor quality pos  , and without it it feels like your ridin bareback , ill be checkin out the corbin for sure.

[Saljemar]

I want the pillion on for a small back rest and also to cover up the two bolts that hold the main seat on.  The pillion is not comfortable, but can be used in an emergency.  You also need to have the strap on to hold the pillion in place.

I just returned from my Hollidays in the Southern France, I have been driving from my Holliday destination to My Home Address in one Day , a distance of 1250 Km in 13 Hours.
 I must admit that after 800 Km my butt started to complain   And when I finally was at home I had problems to walk away But I think that this is not due to the bad confort of the breakout seat.

hmmm, yea, I think if you rode ~500 miles on a cushion of air, your butt would be complaining just having your large leg muscles in the bent position for that long

What makes it low quality to you? I've ridden with many different seats over the years and I don't see or feel anything that would make it seem of poor quality. Most of the people who see the bike compliment the seat and the paint scheme. Real leather not synthetic material is always nicer to sit on.

Take a Corbin, Mustang, Danny Grey or really any of the well made aftermarket seats and do a side by side comparison off the bike.  Check the quality of material, craftsmanship and the weight of the seat.  The stock seat is made of cheap quality materials inside and out.  The design doesn't even allow the seat to be mounted solidly.  Hell, to hold the pillion on you have to monkey with the grab strap and get it just right or it will flop around.  The stock seat doesn't look bad but it's not very functional for butt or back support. To all those that like the stock seat, your lucky to have a butt and back that can take it. For the rest of us, we are lucky that there is now an aftermarket alternative that will literally save our ass.

 Cowboy,

To each their own. I love the stock seat. As far as the pilon, mine doesn't flop around at all. I have even taken it off and put it back on with no issues at all. It is solid on the bike. No reason in my opinion to get another seat for this bike. But that is why we add stuff to our bikes. To make them our own.

Hi, I just found out that Thunderbike in germany started with making customized parts for the Breakout.
The website is www.thunderbike.de (also in English language) they have on the moment photos of a black breakout who is pimped a lot, see picture attached, they say that they will have breakout seat available beginning September.

Really nice work!  the pics on the site show what Harley should have done with this bike.  Oh wait, but then they wouldn't make a fortune on aftermarket accessories.  The integrated two-tone combo of gloss black and chrome just didn't work imho.

[mad cow]

Of all things, the seat is one of the things I really like about this bike.  It looks nice and seems to be holding up well.  As for comfort, I just made it home yesterday from Sturgis, spending 12 hours straight in the saddle with no gripes.  But, I realize everyone's butt is different.

Love my front seat but the wife hates the pillion. Just got the Sundowner N53400066 which she finds fine just want to get it reduced in height about 1 inch and  have to get it recovered as I have the red CVO - will post pic when done
