Default Trusty sidekick

Woke-up during the nightwith the overwhelming urge tobuy a sidekick saddle for my `07 fattie ( I know what your thinking, you did what?).

Anyway, my questionrelates to the comfort of the sidekick seat, is this seat comfortable over longer distances (read touring)?

I have in the pasttravelled 500 miles (800 kms) in a day, would the sidekick be unbearable for these distances?

On a positive note my bling parasite addiction has subsided (bank account is recoverying).

Finally, if anyone has info or photos relating to`07 fattie with sideckick seat, please post.

Thanks

Hi - Just got a sidekick seat for my 07 fatty and I find it a great seat.

It offerers a little less width than stock but more lower back support.

Looks more sleek and profiles on the bike.

I'll see if i can get a pic up for you.
