Default Springer classic

anyone riding one with a different seat than the stock? like a sportier seat by chance? looking at getting a c&c or a mustang just trying to figure out what looks the best and is comfy at the same time. Some pics would be appreciated i'll try and post a pic of what i got going on maybe a suggestion on a different kind of seat.

What specifically don't you like about the stock seat? Looks, position? I've heard the mustang and sundowner seats are real comfortable. But what's good for one my suck for another. You know how that goes. LoL

sorry, was looking at the mustang and c&c fastbacks, i am pretty sure that they will suck for the passenger but the butty buddy is a quick way to take off the ugly. I am not the tallest person in the world 5'10 and the two seats that i have make it a little difficult to move the bike.

I had a Mustang on my 06 Heritage. It was comfy. The standard seat on the Classic Springer is a little hard, imho. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...-09006-1-3.jpg Here is the Mustang seat - http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1.../102708003.jpg

The seat that came on mine was the most Gawdawfull thing I had ever sat on in my life. I thought that maybe I just got a bad one so I bitched and they gave me another one. It was no better then the original. I see allot of guys running with the stock ones so I guess it was just me.
