Default Badlander Alternative?

So I have a badlander on my 03 fxd and I love the look, but after about 60 miles my *** is killing me. My stock seat works great for several hundred miles so I don't need a "touring seat" I'm looking for something with the badlander look that won't kill me after 100 miles.

Any suggestions?

I've had my eye on a LePera Silhouette Deluxe, wanted to check with you guys before I dropped 350 on it.

Thanks!

That is a good looking seat, cheaper than the lepera too. How long do you go without needing a break?

Not a big fan of the looks of the mustang seats. What kind of Corbin? The gunfighter looks pretty good.

Airhawk, Good for the long ride, pops off for the "cool look" and is way cheaper than a new seat. JMO.

Had badlander, stock plus pillion and now stock switchback seat on my 07 bob. Hard to find comfortable seat that doesn't look like a sofa. Check out the road zeppelin. Air adjustable. May be my next one.
