Comfortable Fat bob seat???
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a comfortable, but good looking seat for an '09 Fat Bob. The stock one is not that great,and I would like to have a more comfortable one for long rides.Any help/advice/pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Your going to get quite a few opinions on seats.
What might be perfectly comfortable to one person, won't work at all for someone else.
I found my stock Fat Bob seat to be very comfortable for just me. But my wife couldn't ride on it (and I don't blame her), as it's built more for looks than comfort.
I went with the Harley touring seat, and we both love it as far as comfort goes.
But I'll admit it does not look near as good as the stock seat.
Bottom line is you won't know if it's comfortable for you, until you try one.

I have a Sundowner seat, and I thought I loved it until I sat on it for 300+ miles. It killed me. I've had to take a couple day bike vacation while my **** recovers. I've been a Corbin fan in the past so I'm looking at the Dual Tour.

Hmmmm.....I love my stock (08) seat - not sure if the 09 seat is the same. I'm gonna send a stock seat that I acquired to Bar Enterprises and have them turn it into a big fat touring seat - they are closeby and I have one of their solo seats on my Sporty and I like it.
