I would be willing to bet there are almost as many lightly used seats in garages than there are illegal aliens. It's definitely a buy and try. I have sciatica and have been thru five so far on my fatbob trying to find one that didn't cause assburn after a 100 miles or so. Stock fatbob seat, mustang wide tripper, stock hd dyna seat, mustang squareback, hd badlander which came with bike.. Latest is a danny gray ist solo. I think it will do the trick after a couple of 100 mile rides this week. Best thing you can do is see if a friend with same bike and "borrow" their seat for a good ride and see how it fits. Good luck!

First of all, mr billib, that's ****in hilarious and probably true. Second, don't buy seats new, they are always dirt cheap at swap meets. At least around here they are (se mi). I bought my Badlander for 60 bucks, and it looks brand new. For me, a seat has to look good too unless I'm only using it for long trips. That's why I like the oem Fxdb seat, it shows a lot of the fender, and in my opinion it compliments it a lot. It's the most comfortable seat I've ever had. I can ride 10 hours on it and still feel good.
Another ers thing to consider, my HD dealer has a demo program so you can actually try a seat for a few days before you buy it. I think every HD dealer does this, but not 100%. Unfortunately, it's probably only available for HD seats, but definitely worth looking into.

Know what you mean Nick, I usually get them used off flea bay, and if they don't work for me I sell them. Bought last Mustang new though. Keeping for the few times I carry a passenger or want to protect fender for camping/trip gear.
