Fat Boy Seating?

Are there any of you out there who have ran or are running the HD Fat Boy seat # 51560-00A. That is the one with rider back rest. All the softtail versions of this seem to be the same so any input would be great.... is it a good long mileage seat, does it push you forward,backward? Is it worth the money as opposed to the stock seat?
Thanks!

Have a Great Day!

RE: Fat Boy Seating?

Dunno what year yours is... But as far as I'm concerned ALL FB seats suck! Hard as a rock... The guy I bought my 92 from put on Heritage seats. Then for some reason the base on my seat spilt from tab to tab (maybe I'm too fat?) Dunno... I put on the regular seats for a spell till I could score a new seat. MAN that was some crappy seating! Wife even commented on how hard the p-pad was, too! When I was single I looked into ones with the back rest. Lots to choose from. Wife makes for nice back rests now...

I bought a Mustang seat for mine. Best money I've spent on the bike, bar none. I'll never own another bike without one.

Check out the Fast Gunfighter seat by Corbin. I love it. I have ridden 800 plus mile weekends with no problem and it gives good back support at that.

I second that motion. Mustang seat with rider backrest and a set of Heritage bars made my Fat Boy so much more comfortable. And that mangy *** rear wheel in my pic is on the way out. Ordered a matching RC Components "Wicked" to match the front one.
