I have the badlander seat but I took it off and went back to stock. It looks good from the side but I did not like the plain top.

Some of the colors are nice but I still like BLACK and EASY to sell down the road.

I have not had a chance to ride it yet how was the comfort of that seat? I am heading to Phx next weekend for bike week trying to decide which seat to take!

Also I saw this bike today and had to have it. I traded in my Fatboy so I guess I am off to the M8 section...

Hi from the UK,

I picked up my 2018 114 Fatboy a couple of weeks ago, I have had a stage 1 and Vance and Hines Big Radius fitted, sounds great and rides fantastic. After a week I went back to my local Harley Dealer and had 15" windshield, cruise control, heated grips, Sissy Bar and luggage rack, engine guard, Harley Hammock Touring Seat and Polished chrome Light Nacelle fitted. It has transformed the bike, the most comfortable seat I have ever sat on. It goes back next week to have the Panniers fitted as they need to make some extra brackets to fit them due to the exhaust system. Once panniers are fitted i will post some pictures.

Safe riding

John
