Drawdown,

Yeah, I like the way that looks. What did you do about the plastic film that comes on the fender?

RE: Most comfortable seat for Fatboy?

Its still there under the back "just in case", but the bottom of the C&C seat is lined with carpet so it should be fine without it too. My seat sits me down about 1-2 inches and back a couple too. Perfect riding position, just a brick

I got a good deal on this Mustang seat off ebay. I really like the backrest for long trips too. 79278 - Softail 2000-06, and 2007 FLSTSC Springer, FLSTC Heritage and FLSTN Deluxe Vintage Sport Solo with Driver Backrest, No Studs

RE: Most comfortable seat for Fatboy?

I run a Corbin Gunfighter seat with the back rest inserted on long rides back rest out when I take day trips and riding around town and I love it. This is my second bike and second corbin seat and I love them. After about 1500 miles in the saddle it is awesome. The stock seat sucks ***. I had a Harley badlander seat and it sucked *** as well. On both the harley seats after about 100 miles my poor legs would start to go numb. I am not tall 6' and the corbin seat puts me in the right ridding position

RE: Most comfortable seat for Fatboy?

My most comfortable seat was a Mustang vintage solo with a backrest. Great for distance and looks good.

i also had a Corbin Gunfighter with a removable rider backrest which I think looked great.

meanwhile I'm looking for a backrest for my 08 X Bones
