Seat recommendations for a big rear?!
Seat recommendations for a big rear?!
I have a 2015 street Bob and I'm thinking about buying a new seat. I have a Harley gift card so I'm not trying to go much over $300-$350. I'm a big guy with mids so I don't want to be pushed forward at all but I like seats with a lip. And recommendations on a seat for a big rear?
Is that the mustang in the picture? Beautiful bike btw.

Don't go with the sundowner from Harley. That will put you more forward which you stated you don't want with your mids.
I'm assuming it has to be a harley product cause you got a gift card? Try the brawler if you looking for looks and day to day comfort. It won't push you forward like some of the more cushy seats.

Big butt guy here, 6 ft tall. '15 street bob. I've got more money in seats than I'd care to recount. Saddlemen Explorer seat was too small for my ***. Traded it to a guy for a solo mustang seat that I've yet to use (had one for my road glide and like it). Sick Saddles seat is super comfy and soft. Puts you a little lower and further back. I'm now in love with my C&C Squareback with back rest. Its no good for a passenger, get the sport tour if you want to go that route. Its a firmer seat, sits me higher than the sick saddles. The backrest is awesome, doesnt push me forward and prevents me from slouching. Oh, yeah, tried the sundwner too, hated it. Lady likes it. Actually trying to sell it though so I can get a Pillion for the mustang when I ride 2 up.

Mustang vintage wide solo, does move you back a little, and up due to padding. Can go all day on that one, make sure it's the wide.
