Default Badlander Seat

Got bored Friday and went out and bought the badlander seat.&nbsp\\; Installed it right there and rode home holding the stock seat in my lap.
&nbsp\\;
Got to say a couple of things.&nbsp\\; This seat really changed the look of the bike and after around 300 miles of riding, I can honestly say that it's very comfortable.

The seat looks awesome! Did it lower your seat height? I have an 07 fatboy as well and was thinking about the badlander. Good to hear it is comfortable

Badlander...comfortable?? &nbsp\\; I've had a leather one on my '06 Standard for a couple years now and after 100 miles my *** is screaming for mercy...definitely NOT one of the most comfortable seats I've been on...only good for bar-hopping/short rides&nbsp\\;IMO...I bought a Mustang vintage 2-up for the long hauls...it's butt-ugly compared to the Badlander but it's La-Z-Boy comfortable.&nbsp\\;

Badlander is ok for shorter rides, under 100 miles.&nbsp\\; Then you really start to squirm.&nbsp\\; Heck if you would have had a sundowner I would have traded you my badlander seat for it.

Same here. The military paint&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;came with the badlander. I'm sporting a mustang sport solo now, I wish the mustang had a little more tailbone support, but its a couch compared to the badlander.
&nbsp\\;
The badlander does look great though and so does your bike.
