Badlander seat
I have an 06 softail and I am thinking of putting a Badlander seat on it, just wondering how comfortable it might be on 100mile or more trips??Anyone out thereput it to the test??
RE: Badlander seat
I have one on the Road King. It is not the worst, seat out there. I went about 150 miles non-stop on it this past weekend and was only a little numb after. I wouldn't have wanted to push a couple hundred miles without a few rest stops.

RE: Badlander seat
I have one on my '04 standard and I've riden to Key west and Daytona twice .... no problem...... also rode 6308.5 miles to Sturgis and beyond in 14 days .... no problem........ don't be confused .... it's not the cushy ride you'll find on a touring seat but it's manageable....... Good Luck !!!

RE: Badlander seat
Bro, you MUST have an *** made of solid steel...the Badlander is the most UNcomfortable seat I've had on my bike...it looks good but I couldn't get 100 miles out of it without having my *** begging for mercy. I use it as a bar-hopper seat ONLY and have a Mustang vintage for any long hauls.

RE: Badlander seat
I have to agree with you. After a whole day of riding on that seat, I was convinced to get a mustang seat. Now I can ride for days and not have any issues.

RE: Badlander seat
It is OK for the rider, but I was told by a few women that it is brutal as a passenger, I have ordered a Corbin Gunfighter seat to replace my badlander.

RE: Badlander seat
It's a good lookin solo seat. for the passenger it's like sittin on a 2x4. Once mine was broke in though I love it. I rode from seattle to tahoe and back on it and I'd do it again. for my wife though, the two up sundowner is the way to go.
