I always tell people that the stock Badlander seat is "the hardest seat known to man"! [sm=laughingsmilie.gif]

I like the looks on my Electra Glide, lean and sleek but very uncomfortable on longer rides. I put my stock seat on when I am doing anything over 200 miles. If it is comfort you want, do not buy the badlander.

Had one on my Duece and the wife hated it. It was all about the look
Wife said she had panties wider than the back of the seat and she wears thongs

I have one and either 1) the seat is broken in now or 2) my butt is used to it. At first I hated it but now it's ok.

I think the Badlander is the best looking seat around.I can understand a passenger not being comfortable on long rides,but it feels fine to me.

The stock Badlander seats on the '07's are Vinyl not leather - the leather HDBadlander seat is available for about $ 225 in the catalogue.I perfer leather as a material more than vinyland might buythe leather versioneven though I like the stock seat well enough.Lepera and Corbin make quality Badlander style seats,might be worth giving them a look.

Got one that was a display for $43 at the dealer. Put it on the EG with a quick disconnect tour pak and it looks great. If I had paid the $125 at the dealer (list price) I would have been disapointed. It has to be the most unconfortable seat I've sat on since I rode home on leave from Kansas on my BSA Victor 750 miles. I can do 100 -150 miles before taking a butt break.
