After an 800 mile weekend in April and 250 + weekends back to back my rear has had it! Loved the look but just hated the ride. Had my old rsd vintage seat that I had reworked last year laying here so I had it recovered. Bad pic but I think it turned out ok...
I like both looks. You did good. At least you didn't go and put one of those massive lazy-boy seats on it. I hate it when a great looking bike has a huge 8" thick lump sitting on top.
My hardware arrives tomorrow so I can install my spring seat. It was really comfortable on my Dyna, but I had a 1" gel and memory foam pad built into it when I had it made. It's also 13" x 15", which to me seems to make a bobber seat a better perch.
Thanks, the one big problem with the rsd 200 conversion is the lack of seats..we are limited to the bobber (which he know longer makes) or what I have on, the stock configuration of it sucks!!! Other than having one made you have to have them reworked. I'm going to have my seat guy make a two up soon. And I agree more padding gives you more of a footprint I was sliding off the back of mine

Man, the bike looks great with either seat. What front wheel and tire are you running?
nothing wrong with a comfy seat, not saying it needs to look like a couch, but I average 10k a year. I want to enjoy my ride, looking cool for other people doesn't make my back side feel any better
