Its good you hate the stock seat on the 07 fatboy.. it has a very good chance of rubbing the back fender under the flaps... thus rubbing off the clearcoat and paint of the rear fender.

Have fun picking out a new seat

I like the HD sidekick seat

Not the prettiest seat in the world but the HD Sundowner is pretty comfy if you ask me. I thought it was more comfortable than my Mustang.

GM cycles on EBAY has good prices, I just bought a Vintage Touring WIDE for my Fboy 2 weeks ago. Feels real good so far, we've had some rain and I couldn't get any miles on it yet.

As always, thanks for the suggestions. Hey Les, which Mustang seat do you have? Looks real good on your 07.

Brent.
I have the "Wide Vintage Solo". .
I'm 200 lbs so I thought the "W i d e" was something I needed.
I have two rear pads from Mustang if you check out my gallery.
One is their standard 14" wide one for long rides
and I also got a thinner 6" wide one to leave on just in case somebody ever needs a short ride somewhere, but looks good by itself.

Here's the skinny 6",sitting on the wider 14"

I've bought two of the Mustang wide touring seats with backrests and love them; one for my 1986 Heritage and one for my 2005 Heritage. For my Wide Glide I want a regular touring because I think narrower would look better. With the Deuce, I'm happy with the HD Sundowner.

Yes, I've decided to steal yours the next time you're not looking.

Naw, I've decided to first concentrate on those handlebars. I need a lot more pullback so my lower back doesn't cuss me so much. I bought 3 sets; one from a Fatboy, another from a Heritage, and another from a Wide Glide. I also bought some standard type risers with adapter cups.

I got all of the stuff cheap on Ebay and am waiting for it. I'll mock them up and see what I think and when I get it figured out I'll put them all back on Ebay and get what I need aftermarket.

JB

Stock seat on my 07 was killin my butt, I ordered a Sundowner because it has the studs and lacing like the stocker so it will match my saddlebags. I pick it up tomorrow so heres hoping it feels good.

This is a seat located at my local dealer. I like the look of the seat but it won't work on my bike so I figured I would send this link out in case anyone with a newer fatty was interested.

Went with a Danny Grey seat. Much better than the stock seat.
