Need a new seat - backend hurts
I need to replace the seat on my wide glide. \\; Right now it has a badlander HD seat on, it looks great but doesn't feel to good for a long haul. \\; I've been looking at the Lepera seats but wanted to see if anyone has these and how they like them, comfort and such. \\; I understand seating is subjective as everyones *** is different.
 \\;
My current seat: HD Badlander \\; 11" \\;rider and 5" passenger (the 5" is the part my wife doesn't like)
 \\;
Seats I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to (all Lepera at this point), I've looked at Corbin and Mustang but didn't really like them:
 \\;
2up Daytona \\; \\; \\; \\;11" rider and 7.5" passenger
2up Silhouette \\; \\;10" rider and 6" passenger
Silhouette Deluxe 10 1/4" rider (passenger not specified)
Senora 11" \\;rider and 6.5" for the pillion

Go to a dealer that has them on the showroom floor there are a ton of options but you have to be comfortable. There are HD seats Mustang Lapera etc but they will all feel different to every person. I have the pillow look more comfortable than stock but not the absoloute best I just traded some comfort cause I like the way \\;it looks. Good luck Ride Safe \\; \\; \\;

I have owned three mustang seats and the comfort is unbeatable in my opinion. \\; I have the solo vintage with driver backrest and I can ALL day long. \\; I will never ride with anything else. \\; I was concerned about the look on my 08 FXDC but I think it looks good. \\; I just bought the passenger pad for my wife and she loves it.

I run a HD Sundowner seat. \\; Sure it's a bit large compared to a badlander but it sure is comfy. \\; The passenger portion is nice and big to so it gets rid of the complaints from back there! \\; I ordered mine from www.surdyke.com and got 20% off.

+1 for the Sundowner. \\; the wife hated riding on the back, especially on long trips, with the stock seat. \\; the sundowner is great. \\; comvy with some back support.
