Yeah that is pretty bad. I ordered from lowbrowcustoms and they shipped it to me really fast. Let us know what you think when you get it!

 

Any longer term reviews yet? was thinking on getting this for my 48 depending on long ride comfort

 

After a little over a month of riding on it I'd say that it has broken in quite nicely. There was a day a few weeks back when I realized that the slight stiffness it had new was no longer there and I had actually stopped paying attention to the seat.

As far as long ride comfort, I don't think this is the seat for that. I got a couple hours straight in one day which included a fuel stop and an errand in between. Can't say that this thing is built for continuous use for more than a few hours. My advice is get something for the long hauls, and the Sporty 8 for around town. *

Ive had it for a few months now and still no complaints. Dont expect to get something that is the new standard for comfort, but it is definately better than a 48/72 seat. I think it is better than the stock Iron seat as well. Watch the oil tank though. When at a stop light now, I have to make sure I dont bring my feet too far back otherwise it gets a little warm when you touch the tank.

 

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that, so more advice:
1) don't wear hot pants/Daisy Dukes with this seat
2) Wear pants under your chaps, (which is always good advice I suppose)

 

I have had mine for a few months now and I do agree it has broken in nicely now. When I first got it, it was a little stiff, but not bad. Now it seems a lot better. I don't think it's probably made for long rides over a couple hours, but great for short rides and around town driving. Not to mention it looks great on the bike.

 

as long as a couple hours does ok, thats good for me. i have a sick saddles seat now and my *** is numb after about 30 minutes

 

It should be fine for more than 30min. I will warn you that as these guys have stated, it takes a few rides to really get it broken in. Its a little stiff at first so 30 min might be a little rough. However, if you just cruise around town a few times and play with it a little bit before you go on your first longer ride, you should be fine.

 

Where is the cheapest best place to get the checkerboard style?

 

everyone is selling them for the same price. bike shops, ebay, ect.....unless you can find a used one.
I always wondered why they dont make just a plain smooth one? they all have to have a pattern. I even called them about it, they had no answer.
