Available as a solo or two-up, these seats improve rider comfort with two innovative designs exclusive to Danny Gray: independent-suspension technology, featuring strategically placed cutouts in the pan topped with a flexible plastic membrane to combat numbness, road shock, and painful pressure points, and Airhawk air cell technology, which adds another layer of cushioning and dampens vibrations from the road.
The all-stainless TIG-welded design features high-flow stepped header pipes with a beefy stainless collector for a claimed jump in horsepower and torque. The Bootlegger also works with most extended saddlebags and side covers for custom applications.
