Default Badlander seat

Im on the fence about buying a badlander seat for my fat bob. Like the looks but need a more comfortable seat on long rides and is the badlander comfy for the wife as well. Any input on any seat is most welcome. Thanks for any input.

I bought a badlander from a buddy of mine on the cheap. I love it, it keeps me from sliding when I roll on the throttle like my solo seat did, and my wife said the seat is very comfortable for her too. We put a couple hundred miles on it just the other day and she had no problems.

bought my 07 streetbob used. had a badlander seat on it. i bought a used solo seat because i wanted the stock look. to my surprise found out that solo seat is way more comfortable for me. didn't use the badlander any this summer. i'm not hating on the badlander, just not as comfortable for me personally.

Bought one for my 06 because I liked the look of it better than the passenger pillion attached to the stock seat. Took it for one ride, maybe 100 miles. It was one of the worst seats I've ever been one. Took it off when I got home and traded it. YMMV.

I love my badlander and wouldn't change it for anything, however if we go more than a 100 miles the ol'lady says it hurts her but so I bought a tall boy for those long rides.

I went with a sidekick cause it was affordable, and I hate to admit it, but I liked the bar and shield logo on my seat. I got the stitched "axe" pattern on mine. it adds a little to it
