I think we should have a Solo section only on this site. Are you in favour of this idea?

Wouldn't bother me but is there enough solo stuff for it's own section? Mine's been solo'ed so I'm in. :)

Mine has been solo from the day I bought it last Fall. Actually both of my bikes are.

Thanks. The seat is a Corbin Solo. Did a 640 mile day ride and it is very comfortable. It feels like a brick if you just sit on it but when riding it feels great.

Definitely like the cleaner look of the Nomad solo. They don't look bad configured as a two up, but I prefer the old school one up look. I'm actually thinking about doing away with the racks on the bags just to clean it up a bit more. I've never used them and can always put em back on if needed. Want to do a backrest on it for the longer rides though. You can tell when that bit of support from the back seat is no longer there. Saw a neat deal a few months ago (can't find it now) where a guy took a headrest from a car and modded it to fit his bike as a backrest. It was real clean, looked like it was meant to be there, and appeared to be comfortable. I'm going to make it a project. Even if it doesn't work out, it's just a headrest from the salvage yard and shouldn't be more than $20 or so.

Another Solo Entry
Since I never carry a passenger anyway!

After we got Patricia her new Suzi Boulevard, the back seat was just extra weight. I can actually carry more on my solo racks than I could on the back seat.
