Default Badlander seat

I am looking into getting a badlander seat, I currently have a mustang seat but it is gigantic and isn't the style that I am looking for. Can anyone vouch for the comfort? I like the look but I would like a seat that combines both aesthetics with a comfortable ride. I'm looking for a seat that ride for a long time on as well not just city cruising. So if anyone has any information I'd appreciate it.

Or if there is another seat that looks as good or as smooth as a badlander seat let me know.

I have heard numerous negative comments on the badlander . I have never rode with one . I have how ever talked to a few guys who have the Mustang daytripper, and they tell me it's an awesome seat .

Love how mine looks and have no problems with the comfort of it but as stated above, everyone has their own preference.

I think its comfortable and can ride all day on it. My back and shoulders need a rest long before the butt hurts. After I get apes maybe that will change. If you are used to a more plush seat you may not like it.

You can try one very inexpensively to see if you like it. A Maxi-Pad and black marker will give you an idea of the comfort...but they do look way cool. John
