I recently upgraded from a Nightster to the big boy league and bought a Fatboy Lo. I had forward controls on the Nightster and was able to stretch way out. Now I get on the Fatboy and I really feel cramped. I have the stock seat and floorboards on it. Is there a seat that gives you a little more room? I am new to this forum and looking forward to contributing.

 

The boards should help you out, but you can get the Kuryakyn 1" out 1" over extensions. I have them and they make a big difference.

There are a lot of seats that will push you back. I think Harley bad lander, LePera and C&C seats too

Or have your stock seat shaved

 

Thanks. I was looking into a Brawler seat, just thinking it looks a little lower profile, but would like to sit on one first. Anyone have an opinion on that particular seat?

Lots of FL bike owners just put some footpegs on their engine guards, Which U'd have to get also.

Make sure if U do a seat the puts U further back that it don't make U reach too far for the bars. just saying.

I just could not get use to the cramp feeling with the floorboards on my old fatboy, I tried highway pegs, but then you need to shift and brake in town and your still cramped. I ended up getting rid of the floorboards and crash bar and installed forward controls it really cleaned up the bike and it's has real comfortable riding position now.

 

My wife has a Brawler leather seat on her Heritage and it is great. It is alot higher quality than a Lepera seat. It is also really comfortable and still provides some back support.

 

You probably wouldn't know since its not your bike, but did it move her back a bit? It looks like there is way less padding than the stock seat.

 

I have a barely used badlander I'd sale you if your interested. I'm too short for it but it's definitely a lower profile seat.

 

Thanks for the offer, I will keep it in mind. I need to make a decision soon. I was kinda looking for a removable passenger seat although. But if the price is right...
