Long riding on a FATBOB with the wife
So, the wife and i plan on doing The SEA to SKY trip by Vancouver, on my 2012 FXDF. It has a badlander seat and I am wondering if any one else has this bike seat combo and if they have taken any long trip with a passanger. I know it will be fine for me, but i am concerned how her comfort level will be as HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE.
Thoughts guys and gals.
Thanks

Thinking she will not be up for a long ride on that. I went and had a custom seat made with my seat pan from a local guy here and my wife can ride all day now without problems. I had a tallboy seat at one time but the custom seat is by far way better for both of us. I'm 6'1" 216bls and she is 5'7" 140lbs.

Tried to find a pic of my custom seat. This is the best I could find. It has a nice size saddle and firm for long rides. It cost me $250 and well worth it!

Yep! Tom took my seat pan and built it up...I asked him If I needed to leave the bike for him. He said nope I got this. He's local for me.....Fayetteville, Arkansas. Good guy and excellent work! His website is a little clunky but it has his contact info and you can email him.
