Default 07 Fat Boy seats

I'm looking to buy a more comfortable seat for my 07 Fat Boy. Does anyone know about the Saddleman Explorer? It has a back rest for the driver and also has Gel in both seats. Any information greatly appreciated.

I have the saddlemen explorer leather with gel. I love it, the extra back support took a little time to get used to but it is a very comfortable seat. My wife says that it gives her much more room and the back support keeps me from leaning back and cramping her. I carry a small white towel to cover the seat in the summer because the gel will get hot in the sun, small price to pay for comfort. You have to use the little rubber seat bumper from under the stock seat on the explorer seat, kind of sucks considering how much the seat costs. You can ride all day without your butt going numb. Overall I am very happy with this seat on my 08 Fatboy.
