Default Brawler Pillion Pad

Hey just wondering who has the pad installed? What do you think about it? Is it at least as comfortable as the stock seat? What kind of mounting hardware does it come with? Will the mounting hardware show when the pillion is removed?

Thanks for your help!

i have it on my fatboy, the fiance doesnt like it as much as the&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;stock fatboy seat, but that thing had to go. She likes it more then the Sidekick seat i use to have. as far as mounting it has two plastic prongs in the front that slide under the brawler seat, then you just use the back seat screw thingy(?) to mount the back of it... gimme a sec ill go take a pic of the seat

bottom of the seat. if you go with it i'd advise to get some 3M protective tape as the two prongs will rub your paint.

Very cool! Thanks for the pics.

Swapping seats when my wife wants to go on a short ride to see friends or a bar takes too long...alright I know it doesn't take that long but I want it to be faster. I think this seat will work out well for me.
Do the prongs rub under the solo seat or is there visible paint rub when you take the pillion off? Oh and one last thing, from a passenger's point of view does the pillion feel sturdy and safe?

Thanks again for the pics

One more thing Do you feel it was worth the $120 it costs? Are you happy you purchased it?

Thanks

i have visaul rubbing, its just 2 little spots. i havnt ever ridden on the seat, but to me it feels sturdy, you just have to tighten the seat screw pretty tight ot the seat will slide back a bit. i think its worth it, im happpy with the seat up.

I bought mine from Chicago HD. I don't like it and it's sitting in my garage somewhere.
