Default 2014 Fat Bob seat
Looking for input from 2014 Fat Bob owners on seat comfort. I've only been able to sit on a 2014, not ride one. The seat is closer to the bars/pegs than the previous FB, and it seems a bit firmer. I had a 2012 FB, and the seat was pretty good overall. So how does the 14 seat work for you? Thanks.

Haven't ridden it myself, and someone else will probably chime in. But from what I've read so far, it's the most comfortable stock HD seat yet...

It wasn't too bad during my demo ride the other day. Felt pretty comfy with decent cushion and no numbness. I'll know more once the dealer gets my bob in, and I can log some miles on it. Going from that though it won't be the first upgrade I make, but it is still on the list.

Haven't ridden with one but i've sat on it. It's definitely a lot closer to the pegs and bars. I'm 5' 11" and felt like it was too cramped. I don't like to feel stretched out by any means but it was too close.

The seat is very soft with very little firmness. So depending on what you like you may like it or not.

I ordered one for my 2013 FatBob and its currently sitting in my garage waiting to get installed. Looks like I wont have any real world feedback for another month or so until this weather breaks.

I do like the look of the spring seats. Still not sure if I'm gonna go that route or not. Once get some miles on mine I'll decide.

It is definitely closer to the pegs than the previous seat. I like that. But it seems like the 14 seat us more confining. I Ned to get a demo ride on a 14.
