It's strange to be honest. It's actually quite comfortable for 45 minutes to an hour and then my butt starts to feel it all of a sudden. It isn't a touring seat, that's for sure. But I like the way it looks and how it sits - puts me more in the bike than on it. You can buy them with gel pads inside - not sure how much better they are with that. I'll usually just stop, walk around for a few minutes, then I'm good to go again.

Can't go wrong with either one as you will add and changes things to your liking anyway. Like a painter or sculptor, you have to envision what you want your masterpiece to be or look like after you use your credit card abundantly. Just find the color you want at the best price knowing you won't be getting much of a deal, especially at this time of year.

I went with the FXDC for the chrome, the paint, and the spokes. Like 2007fxdc I added a solo seat. I also added street bob mini ape bars. Best of both worlds.
Both are great bikes. But I like chrome =)

I picked the Street Bob cause it was closest to what I envisioned as the perfect bike for me. I liked the black engine, solo seat (wife won't ride on a motorcycle anyways) denim paint and ape hangers.
You are of course gonna change a few things on the bike so just get the one that is closest to what you envision.

Quite a few of us have taken the FXDC and added features that make it 'similar' to a SB, but it is the best of both worlds.
Added several things, but for this thread - SB mini apes, and 1/2 inch shorter rear shocks. .....
