Let's talk about Fat Bob seats
Seriously considering a new seat for my 2018 Fat Bob and cannot find a lot of info about rider position. I would like a seat that allows me to sit farther back while cruising but still allows me to slide up on the tank when I hit the Twisties.
Not sure how many of you guys have changed your seats but I am interested in feedback from those who have. If you comment please include a pic(s) of the seat, your opinion on comfort and which way it moved your riding position.
Thanks to any who reply.

Very nice bike. Where is the riding position compared to the stock seat?

but there is enough space for me to move my back forward and backwards depending on how much lower back/tail bone support I want.

Whiplash just recently came out with seats for the new Fat Bobs. I run the gambler seat on my Street Bob and it definitely pushes you back. I find their seats to have more back support compared to other brands

Contacted whiplash to ask about the rider position of the Slipstream as compared to stock. This is the reply I got ..
It will stay as stock. But it will be slightly lower. The new fat bob is a little tighter than the other bikes so we didnt make much of a change to the stock position other than lowering, comfort and support.
