OEM stuff is a Solo lower and upper with a sissy bar.

I'm considering going a Solo-seat route with a bib on the stock rear fender (I liked the slim look of the upper on the mustang seat, but they don't make a seat for the C-class.

Any suggestions on what I should be looking for and where I can find it? I'm looking to keep under $300, but I'll consider higher if I'm impressed.

Thanks, all! Judging by the sheer volume of members, I'll likely have a good response.
WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!

The only seat I have found that would fit our bike is the Corbin gunfighter seat ($439 plus shipping). I just got mine about a month ago and it is beginning to break in. At first, it was definitely hard, but now it is starting to fit me very nicely. I looked around quite a bit and was even tempted to get the seat you purchased. Thank goodness I didn't.

I don't have any recent pictures of it on my bike, but if you'd like to see it, I'd certainly take a couple for you.

Here's a picture from their site.
