Default Seat question

Have a 23 FatBoy anniversary. Absolutely hate the seat. I have heard a breakout seat will fit and is much more comfortable. Is this in fact true? If you have actually made the switch please let know your thoughts.

I don't know if it will fit without any mods, but I have found the Heritage seat to be the only OEM HD seat that is super comfortable for me.

Everyone is different, might be worth it to go to the dealership and see if it is comfortable for you...if it is, see if you can make it fit your ride.

Before any of that, I would recommend going thru the "Comfort Triangle" checklist, shown in the vid below-

Yep, what Clagagnon said. I've had three bikes that I have put Mustang seats on and they are great.
