thanks for the heads up on the sissybar, I will ask whats involved when I am at the Dealer, I hope it's an easy switch but it never works out that way.

Got a '08 Softail Custom. Candy Red. I absolutely love it! The stock seat is very comfortable and for a guy with a bad back who has gone thru back surgery, I'll say it's the perfect seat for me. you won't be disappointed with it. Very comfortable on the lower back.

Believe it or not that might work to your advantage. If you can find a sissybar that's to your likeing and fits the seat. That shouldn't be too hard. See if it can be fitted with quick disconnect side plates. That way its&nbsp\\;very easy to switch between the two seat setups.

The seat and bars were a major selling point when I bought mine.&nbsp\\; My butt has yet to get sore.&nbsp\\; My knees on the other hand suck.

harley_nova, shouldn't this be a warranty issue? I'd check it out before I 'd buy another seat.

Can't argue with the comfort factor. It was just too big a cushion and felt seperate from the bike, so changed for the retro, still very comfortable.

The seat is as comfy as it gets. However a little big at times so I have a bar hopper seat too.
