Drag Specialties Seats offers the same world-class comfort for your custom ride as they do for stock Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
That’s why they are now offering these large low profile, motorcycle spring solo seats. Each one is constructed of comfortable high-density closed-cell foam that is covered with black solar-reflective leather or distressed brown leather.
The advantage of solar reflective leather is that it reduces the seating surface temperature by as much as 25°F for a cooler motorcycle seat, higher durability and longer life over conventional leather or vinyl found on Harley-Davidsons.
Underneath, a sturdy sixteen-gauge steel pan and 1" x 3/16" welded center bar support you comfortably. The rear of the Harley seat features two rear screw studs for springs (sold separately). Measure 15 1/2" L x 13" W x 3/8" H. Proudly made in the U.S.A.

Aprilia is bringing a scooter to North America, and it’s one designed to appeal to adventure motorcyclists. The SR GT 400 is a mid-size scooter built around a steel motorcycle-style frame, a 399cc single, and off-road-ready hardware. It reaches US dealers as soon as this month. Don Williams and Kelly Callan spent some time riding the Aprilia and were surprised by what they discovered. Is this a real motorcycle or just a good-looking urban scooter?

Our guest this episode is Terry Vance, the multiple Motorcycle and Motorsports Hall-of-Famer. Terry is of course the former professional motorcycle drag racer, team owner, and co-founder of the high-performance parts company Vance & Hines. Teejay Adams chats with Terry about his incredible career that includes being the first rider to hit 200 mph in the standing quarter-mile.
Having won this year’s MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers championship with Hayden Gillim riding the Vance & Hines factory Indian Challenger, and with Harley-Davidson’s recent withdrawal, Terry gives us his thoughts on where the series might go from here.
