Default Fatboy Seat

I rode my 07 Fatboy toaday and I am starting to like the stock bars. I will give it some time before making any changes. A buddy also offered me some bags for free. That is the good; the bad is I HATE THE SEAT. Don't get me wrong, I like the way it looks notwithstanding the possiblility that is may scratch the paint, but it hurts my backside - BAD. Any suggestions from the FL Softail folks? I could keep the same look and get a Sundowner Fatboy seat; also anyone like the Badlander? I also am happy to go aftermarket. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Brent.

Just my $.02, I absolutely love the Mustang wide touring seats. Ride all day with no pain.

My next $.03, I hate Corbin seats. They cut into my thighs and actually bruise me.

Next?

I have the Harley sidekick. Never have ridden with the stocker as I bought the bike used, but love the sidekick. I find the stock seats to be a bit too wide at the front, and that is what makes me uncomfortable...

I love my Corbin Young Guns (see sig). I bought the bad lander before the Corbin and rode once around the block and off it came and back to HD. Had to get store credit but I was not going to ride on that brick anywhere![:@]It really depends on what you are looking for... Solo/touring/bar hopper? I have two seats the one in the pic or when I'm solo and a HD drivers backrest seat for when the wife wants to ride. I favor the two up bar hopper over the solo's because if someone needed to jump on they can. It won't be real comfotable but the kids don't mind going around the neigborhood.

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

Brent.
