Bates style seat
For those of you who may be wondering what one of those cheap Bates style P pads would look like on a Bob here you go
On the plus side they're cheap mine was about 32.00 with shipping.They're probably about as comfortable as a stripper or badlander obviously not a touring seat.I think it looks pretty cool.On the downside you gotta drill 4 holes in your fender so make sure you have it where you want it before you commit I would have liked to mount mine just a bit farther forward.

It's right up against the rear seat mounting tab but I could still push it up under the mounting tab and bolt through it. Of course once I do that I'll have at least two holes to fill.It's probably more comfortable where it is I think I'll leave it alone, at least till my annual respraying of the fenders.
