This type of motorcycle saddle is designed for a single rider and is specifically intended for use on Harley-Davidson Softail models. It replaces the factory-installed seating and provides an individual riding experience, often prioritizing a minimalist aesthetic and a lower profile.
The appeal lies in several factors. It enhances the visual appearance of the motorcycle, contributing to a custom or stripped-down look. The design often improves rider comfort by offering tailored support and a more connected feel to the bike. Historically, single-rider configurations evoke classic motorcycle styles and provide riders a personalized aesthetic expression.
