I don't think so. I have the stock seat on my night train and it is listed as a "badlander" but it looks different than the one they sell for other bikes.

Let me tell you if you are thinking of getting one , DON'T! About 30 minutes into the saddle and your *** will be screaming for mercy. I rode 220 miles the other day and my frigin legs STILL hurt.

Yes, it's the vinyl version of the Badlander.

Yep, the Badlander is stock on the Night Train. Some guys complain about them, but I like em enough to have put one on just about every bike I had before I got the Train. I've done several hundred miles a day on mine with no problem. Different strokes.

I think it's the heavier riders that have a problem with the Badlander. I'm no longer running one, but when I did, I had no problem with it.

As it was stated before they are the same. I have an 06 night train with 9000 miles. and i keep pushing off buying a seat for other products but i have had enough i do NOT like the seat and just ordered a mustang fastback seat cant wait. Some people love the seat and some hate it.

This badlander seat will remind you to take a break once in while.

I have an 07 night train with 9600 miles on it and that badlander sucks. I rode from Pa to Laconia last year and my *** was killing me. I thought well it will break in NOPE I ride everyday round trip 56 miles and somedays its a killer. I rode 450 miles last weekend and towards the end I was dying. I am 6'5" and 260lbs so it could be the weight. I guy on this list said to get a c & c seat, I was looking at a mustang also but for as tall as I am I want it to push back further but not up like a tallboy

the Badlander makes the NT look really nice, and never thought it was that bad. I ended up upgrading because of the grrrl to get a nicer seat for her on longer rides, i went with the couch-like Sundowner Deep Bucket, which sits me 1inch lower, and i wont go back because of how comfortable it is. Looks horrible though when i take my detachable sissy bar when riding alone, but feels great.

Over all, i like the Badlander, just on long rides, gotta upgrade.

Im 6-4, about 220..
