Default Fat Boy Seat

After a 300 mile day on the stock seat, my **** was killing me, so I looked a some options. I normally like Corbin seats, but the new Fat Boy seat is just plain fugly:


Got to try a HD Demo seat and it was far more plush than the stocker, but didn't quite fit the butt just right:


Gonna wait on Mustang to see what they eventually offer, but I think a re-do of the stock seat may be in order.

The person that designed the seat is probably the same person that designed the headlight. It looks very uncomfortable for the passenger.

That's not a Corbin seat I would want on my bike.

Perhaps not perfect, but my '18 FatBoy has the most comfortable seat I have ever owned on an HD.

It was Harley's Hammock seat for the Fat Boy......It may fit the bill, but I'd rather wait to see what the aftermarket does.
