Default Different Cross Bones seat
I am looking for any different Cross Bones seats that people may have put on their Bones. I have seen a few, but wanted to know from people how the comfort level has changed compared to the original stock seat. Also please lets see some pics of these new seats. I personally luv the looks of the stock seat with the springs and I find it very comfy, but I wanted some opinions from people who have changed to a "normal" softail seat or any other spring seat.

This is a seat from HD and I found it more comfortable. There are several others available from various aftermarket sources.

I have seen this seat Ratster and was interested. What makes it more comfy then stock? It has less padding which you would think it wouldn't be as comfy. Just curious. Keep them comming crossbones owners. I have also been thinking about a standard softail seat like one of those from the Harley custom seat program. I know it takes away from having a spring solo, but I like the single seated Brawler with the "Cremator" pattern.

I didn't know if anyone has dealt with the link below. I luv the seat, but I would like to see it done to the original spring seat.

Is it easy to change between the brawler and the stock spring seat?
