Default rich phillips frame mounted solo seat

New guy here.....2012 iron. Looking for any reviews on the new "frame mounted" rich phillips seat. Looks REALLY good....but $260??? Man I can't find any reviews on the seat itself.

Thanks....

Sully

tahts a decent price for a seat an that sort of mount. I made somthing similar by cutting up a LA ROSA mounting kit and using a LUCID KUSTOMS builders bracket up front. Im in the whole thing at least that much.
and his seats look nicer.

Yea- IMO $260 ain't bad for a seat when you consider how much a** time you are going to be putting in it. Hopefully, you can get some reviews, but I spent more than that for mine and it was money well spent.

Thanks guys. Love the look of the seat, for sure! Just weary about how the front of the seat pan just slips under the rear tank mount area. And the fact that the only thing holding it on the frame is a screw on the rear of the seat......decisions, decisions. You are right about the price. Man, I gotta start learning the art form of "manufacturing"....you feel me?? haha Thanks again......

Brad.....my wife is from Allentown. Her sister lives in Pottstown.....small world.

It looks good, but 'minimal', to say the least:





I wonder how it rides.
