Default Fatboy seat

&nbsp\\;
I ride a '07 Fatboy and&nbsp\\;want to replace the standard seat with one that is a little lower and softer. Standard seat is wide and hard in my opinion. Looking to move myself a little closer to the bars as well. Any ideas?? Not the tallest of guys... 5'7
&nbsp\\;
cheers

The HD Sundowner seat is kinda like the stock seat but MUCH softer and sits you lower and closer to the tank. It might be just what you are looking for.&nbsp\\;

Talk to Chuck at C&amp\\;C seats 562 531-6185&nbsp\\; www.ccseats.com&nbsp\\; they&nbsp\\; made me a killer seat for my 08 fatboy that is 1.25 " lower than stock,and you can order it with a gel pad.

That is a good deal for the mustang seat above. I have a saddlemen explorer seat. It sits lower than stock and has memory foam inserts. It has a fiberglass frame. The next seat will probably be a mustang I think they all have steel frames. I can feel my seat flex a little bit but I am a big guy.

Danny gray makes nice stuff...I have a weekday solo on my fatboy and it definitly scoots me a little closer to the bars and lower to the ground because of its profile.

Thanks for the advice.
tk353, your seat looks good.... but I am in Aussie so a little far away.
&nbsp\\;
Probably go with the easy option and get the sundowner deep bucket...

Cheers
