I have the Saddlemen Explorer. Its comfy as heck, has a built in 'back support'. Im 6'1 225. It moves you back in the seat and raises you up a hair. The stock seat sucked and the seating position was off. This seat fixed a multitude of sins for me.. I have pics in other threads. Id supply one but I took them off my phone and Im not near the bike..
Thanks uncle_kebo this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'm the same height and weight as you and so I probably need the same multitude of sins fixed in order for me to be really comfortable on the bike. My seat should be here Monday. It's so painful on my tailbone with the stock seat that I'm probably not going to ride it again until I have the new seat on it. I also have a set of mustache bars coming for it on Monday as well. Having the option of putting my feet higher up while my backside is up and back a bit higher due to the new seat should only increase the amount of time I can be on the bike without becoming uncomfortable.
Hey uncle kebo, this must be one of the pics you were referring to? If so your seat looks different, and better than the stock pic on Saddlemen's site. The backrest portion looks taller than it appears in the stock pic, which would be a good thing for me. I do like the way the seat looks on the white bike.

The stock seat was so bad my nuts went numb.... I really like this seat.. I got it from DK and it looks better in person than online..
That's where I bought mine too. Only place I could find other than Saddlemen that had them in stock. And they only had the one. I saw the other pictures of it on your bike as well, it does look good. My pain was in my tail bone, from scooting back as far as I could until I slid forward again.
Would really like to see a picture of the Saddlemen Renegade solo on a Breakout or Fatboy if anyone has one? (I tried Saddlemen directly, even they don't have a picture of that seat installed)
