I had a badlander seat for a brief stint, but it was very uncomfortable, IMO. If you are looking for a cheaply priced, comfortable, good quality seat, check out ccseats.com.

I have the Stripper seat on my Deuce. I really like it. I can go 80-100 miles before I need to get off for a short stretch. Which isn't really bad because I normally get gas about every 100 miles. I've ridden further than that with no problems, but I try not to press my luck. I like to enjoy the entire ride, and having a soar @$$ just makes the ride less enjoyable. I'm looking to maybe get mine recovered in a different color at some point. I doubt I'll change the foam or anything. I like the comfort and looks of the seat. My dad has a Stripper seat on his '00 Fatboy and he really likes it as well.

I picked up a Sundowner bucket for my Heritage, was a little unconfortable at first but after the miles got put on it, it was way better than the stock seat.

Only issue was the wife had to get used to sliding forward a little during braking, other than that I felt it was money well spent.

Everyone else will tell you to go Mustang or Corbin, all of them are good seats, the real deal is putting ride time/ miles into them, and the backside just gets used to them.

Ride-On...... Ride often

I have the Sidekick and really like it. I now sit lower and a little further back. It also has good lower back support. My dealer had one installed on a Fatboy so I was able to sit on it before I bought mine. I would suggest doing the same.

I bought a Mustang Solo seat with backrest. I would never consider buying a HD seat again as my Mustang is comfortable and doesn't kill my back after riding for hours.
