So I wish to find a bobber seat that looks like this. and every time I type in "bobber seat"
this flat type pops up. (See Below)
so.. my questions are:
1. Is there a specific name for the seat that looks like my first photo?
2. Has anyone used it? If so how does it compare with the flat ones? As comfortable or not really?
The type your after were fitted as standard to the Harley Crossbones bikes, they were reasonably comfortable but tended to put you high up on the bike. You might still be able to order one from a Harley Dealership if there's still any around.
You're looking for the tractor seat. MOCO still sells them ... https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...-spring-saddle. I have it on my 98, 02 and 11. Fixin to put one on my 05 that I just picked up. I love the seat. Way more comfortable than stock. Combine it with Shotgun Shocks and bumps are pretty much non-existent.
The seat sits you up and back a little. For me, 6'0 245lb, it gives me perfect reach to my floor boards. Knee bend is about 90 degree and I don't feel cramped, especially helpful on the EVO frame. I don't use highway pegs anymore.
Two of the bikes have Beach Bars and one has 16" Carlini Gangster apes. The seat works great with both types of handle bars.
Corbin Gentry makes what you want. The seat you pictured is the 1925 "tractor" seat. Very comfy, but if you want something smaller try the "K" model seat. Same basic shape, about 4" narrower. That's the seat on my '49 Pan in your other thread.
