Need Advice On Leather Badlander
I've got the stock seat off an SG Custom on the Bob now and, although I like it better than the stock solo, I'd like to try something else. Was considering a stock LowRider seat, but sat on one at the stealer today and didn't like the way it seemed to push me forward. I've never owned a leather seat and would like to try one.
The Badlander is the only one priced for experimentation, so would like opinions from current and previous owners on the look and feel of the seat in general (quality), the riding position (more forward or rearward), comfort (too hard, too soft or just right) and the leather (more trouble than its worth?).
Keep in mind, I do not care in the least about PASSENGER comfort as I will never be carrying one. I just like two-up seats.
THANKS!

Like the LR seat. Originally bought a Leather BadLander.
For me, the BadLander is like sitting on a folded over piece of cardboard.
Some people swear by the BadLander.
I like ttthe stock solo as well.
Sit on a few, and make your choice.

Well, with comments like 'folded over cardboard' and 'sore butt' to describe the Badlander, maybe I should give the Sidekick more consideration.
THANKS!

RE: Need Advice On Leather Badlander
I really like the look too. In fact, I may go ahead and give one a try. Hell, I never go far anyway and if I ever do, I can always throw the SGC seat back on it.
Like I said, Ive never had leather before. Is it a pain in the a$$ to maintain? My scoot sits all day in the 90+ degree TX sun on weekdays and that concerns me. No problems with vinyl, but unsure about how that muight affect leather.
Comments/opinions on vinyl vs leather are welcome.
