Default Fatboy Lo Transformer

ok, I am in the process of building a touring/around town scoot.

step 1 was pillion, detach sissbar w/wide touring pad
step 2 will be detach windshield and luggage rack (not planning on going bagger)
step 3 (where I am looking for help) Touring Seat

On Fatboys specifically, and Lo's, more specifically... which touring seat have you all found works best... I am staring down a Corbin... but wanted direct FB feedback.

thanks in advance fellas!

oh yeah.. any other recommendations, as well as a priority list would be helpful (as in, get highway bars before new seat, etc)

another point.. all long-range riding will likely be 2-up...

You're gonna want to do the Stage 1 upgrade too. It'll keep the bike cooler for those longer rides.

I do have stage 1, with V&H short pipes.. I didn't think to mention those, as I was only thinking about rider comfort, but you make a good point..

thanks for bringing it up!

Agree with the highway bar/foot peg addition. I put those 360 degree pegs on my engine guard and now have 5 different foot positions, 6 if you count laying my ankles over the peg brackets (without changing anything around), which in my case is essential for comfort. Sorry I can't help with a seat rec...my bike is solo with stock seat that feels great to me...if a C130 would fly over every couple hundred miles and refuel me I'd never have to get off the bike....well, guess I'd need a Foley catheter too.
