Default Finally a comfortable Badlander

Didn't think you could make a Badlander ride so nice. Thanks to Allen @ Mean City. Took 2 tries to get what I was looking for but he did it. Lots of back and azz support with his foam. He took the time to do what I wantedwithout hesitation. A couple of 100 mile rides after work and 340 on Sunday no complaints.I've got 4 different seats but I've always liked the looks of the Badlander the most. Seems to fit the lines of the bike the best.
Not a noticeable visual difference, but comfort diff is huge. Thanks Allen.

I too hate to depart with the badlander for comfort. What did the guy do and what was the cost? Did he do anything to the passenger part? My GF hates the seat.

That seat looks great. What kind of pipes are those? Never seen them before and they look perfect on your Train.

Yep, Allen at meancitycycles.com does great work. He reworked my wife's sundowner on her sportster. Great work, great customer service and really great price's.

He replaced the foam with what he uses from the backrest to the tongue of the seat. Actually reshaped the back rest and trimed the area where your inner thighs rest on the seat. No lower back support what so ever for me in the stock configuration, now it supports my back 3-4" up the seat. Cost was 110.00 Well worth the money.
Pipes are RB Racing C-style.
