Default seats?

looking at getting an 08 wish ultra. is there a seat that puts you in the riding position similar to a badlander but has a bit more support for longer trips. i like the way the badlander seat gives me more room on the bike but i know it isn't going to be great for hundreds of miles at a time.

Saddlemen does a really nice job, and I recently bought a low profile seat similar to the Badlander, but with more support. It also doesn't move the rider as far back as the Badlander.

Admittedly, my new seat isn't fully broken in yet, so I have another 500 miles to log before I can say with certainty that it's better than a Badlander, with a better riding position (for me), but I have high hopes at this stage. Can't remember the specific model, but the website will show the line-up.

To piggy back on this topic instead of posting a new thread....

I want a backrest for my 17 Ultra Limited. Thoughts?

After reading allot of posts on aftermarket seats I had my stock seat cut for me, then gelled and dual foam.
I also have an adjustable backrest (HD).
Between the two I can last all day in the saddle and get up the next morning and do it again.
