BMC Wall vs Big Al's Gripper vs C&C Fastback vs ????
I'm looking for people input for those who have had any of these seats. Currently I have a C&C Sport Tour for my wife and I but I'm looking to get a seat for just me. Doesn't need to be great for 2xxx mile trips lol. Looking to get something for when it is just me and I want to ride aggressively. I'm 6' 6" so a higher lumber area is a huge plus. I contacted Saddlemen about their Step-Up seat but they said for the 05 Dyna their still at least 30 days out from even being ready for production. I can do the C&C for about $340 the Gripper is $400 and The Wall is $500. Unfortunately just finding people with these seats to try and sit on is not an option as none of these trends or the club style dyna have really caught out here in some parts of the Midwest.

I have a C&C fast back seat on my 2012 fat bob. It sits me a little lower and a touch farther back. I really like it. Didn't take very long to break in. Great support in the back when accelerating or riding fast. Looks great on the bike. The quality is first rate and it fit great on the bike. Only other seat I have used is the stock seat. Not bad but the fast back is much better for me.

cant say anything about the seats but i called BIG ALs the other day because the shop is 5miles from my house and wanted to buy some front suspension parts...
whoever i talked to was kind of a jerk and when he asked what rear shocks i have i told him Hagon and he got all uppity saying hes never heard of those shocks. he was basically talking smack to me because im a noob and was asking him questions about front springs and sag.
at that point i told him Im obviously bothering him and ill take my money somewhere else.
sounds like more bros being bros

AS far as your experience with them when you called, I think it may have just been a one off situation. The one and only time I went in there, I was told that they're trying to focus on their parts manufacturing business, and no longer doing repairs, and builds for the general public. I know they machines all of their "Bubba" line of parts in house, and I am sure, with the money they invested in the machine equipment, they're really going to be pushing those parts. I would imagine we'll be seeing them get further and further into the parts business in the next few years.
Also, I believe they really only deal with Works suspension, so maybe he really has't heard of Hagon. Either way, that sucks when you have a negative experience like that... Especially when you try to support local business.
