I like that seat. I hope they're still around when my 16 year old gunfighter finally wears out.

I've heard its a modified gunfighter made for them by Corbin, not sure. The reviews I've seen said great for in town and wheelies, but a little rough on a trip.

That being said I am a huge fan of Big Al's and pretty much everything they do is top quality.

No I ended up getting a Lepera Daytona. Very happy with it, just did a long ride down the PCH with it and no issues.

the daytona is nice but i like the look of the daytona sport more... or mustang fastback... choosing a seat is harder than i thought lol does the daytona sit you further back? i have forward controls on my street bob and i feel like the position I'm in with the stock seat but hate the stock seat
