Default Cross Bones solo seat. Comfortable or Not?

I recently put a solo seat from a Cross Bones on my '07 Deluxe. Part # 51481-08. I did it really for the look of it. Now, people are telling me that it really isnt that comfortable for long rides. If you have a Cross Bones, I would love to hear your opinion on the comfort level of you ride. Thanks.

Hmmm, most people I know with bones (including myself) think it's just about the most comfortable seat out there.. I mean, it's big, lots of padding, and it hovers on springs... I wouldn't worry if I were you. It looks really great on your bike btw....

You should check out Bluegrassphil's bones here..

He had the plastic under the seat painted black and it came out great. You should think about having your plastic bat cover painted the same orange as your bike.. Now that would be S.H.A.R.P.!

Looks good, it's the most comfortabe Harley seat I have sat on, did two 1500 mile trips last year, up to canada and down to Tenn. and it was better than the sundowner seat I had on my last bike. This will be the first time I keep the seat.
