Default 97 Fatboy

Even though I have had the seat re-upholstered and memory foam added, long trips hurt my tail bone. Anybody have a suggestion for a Mustang or Corbin seat that would resolve my problem?

I didn't know HD made the Fatboy as far back as '97.

How is it doing? How many miles?

Thanks

Coribin's are kinda hard, or firm. I hear that mustangs are pretty comfy, but I don't much care for their stylin'. C&C seats are supposed to make good seats too, and they will give you a 10% discount uf you ask them

The fatboy was first produced in 1990 Trailnut.

You may have to get a different set of handlebars, more forward reaching to get some of your weight off your tailbone. Just a thought.

The fatboy was first introduced in 1990. Sounds like a mustang solo with a backrest might help you, or a seat with more of a curve in it to hold you in place. I found that with the stock seat seat as flat as it was my tailbone hurt after a while too.

First Fatboy was made in 1990, mine has a little over 22,000 miles on it.
