i like mine it is stock on the night train. ol lady says it is ok but could be a little more foam for passenger. we have done a few 700 mile weekends with no real problems.

It is a hard seat, not for 2-up.

I just put a HD Sundowner deep bucket on my 2005 SE Fat Boy. It is real comfortable, especially for the passenger.

I picked up a leather one couple yrs ago off ebay. They look nice but hard as a rock and harder than stock IMO. Sold it on ebay and snagged a Mustang and I like it.

I have a badlander to get around during the week or when I'm 1 up on the weekend and I don't mind it, I'm 255lbs and 5'10' so it's a good height for me and the padding is fine.

I change the stock seat back for when my wife is on as she will only do a short hop (20 Mins) on the badlander - not much padding for passenger, it is like sitting on a rolled up towel.

It does change the whole look of the bike which is why I like it.

C & C Fastback or LoPro go to www.ccseats.com less $ than the HD and much better

My bike came with a Badlander , hard and narrow seat IMO changed to the Fastback and can easily go all day

Yea,

They look great, but they suck for anything longer than 30 minutes. My wife got on and wouldn't ride 2 miles down the road. So , I will be getting a sundowner or something soon.

I posted in another thread, I reguarly make a 140 mile one way trip to my parents in Tn and I feel like I have been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson when I get there.
