Default FXDX Stock Seat vs Badlander
Can anyone compare and contrast these two seats? Has anyone went from one to the other? Does the stock push your more forward or is it more comfortable?

FXDX Stock


Badlander

I've ran both of them on my 2000 FXDX and the stock seat is a lot more comfortable on long rides and it has more support with the deeper design. Also most of the chicks I've given rides to hate the bad lander, not much cushion back there.

The stock seat pushes you forward more than the badlander about an inch or two. I found the comfort about the same for the two at least for me. Passengers hate the badlander

Badlander is painful to both rider and passenger. Looks great, but after 45 min, my tailbone felt like it was going to break!
