Default Comfy but stylish Fatboy seat???
I have a 2002 Fatboy (pictured in my signature) and currently have a badlander seat on it. I love the look of it but it is the most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat on!!! I will primarily use this sought after seat for solo riding but would be nice to have an option to take the wife on a short ride with. The badlander seat (in comparison to the stock seat) positions me too far foreward and the pocket of the seat is very uncomfortable on the tail bone. Any suggestions? Pictures are welcome Thanks for any help.

-Scott

I run a Mustang Fastback and it's fine for 400 mile per day trips. I also like the looks of the Mustang Daytripper. Mustang uses padding that seems more comfortable than a thinner seat should be.

CC Sport Tour. Puts you back and down and much more comfortable for rider and passenger compared to the stock seat. DrVtwin can hook you up.

Thanks for the replies guys, it seems that the concensus is the C&C. I picked up a Sundowner on CL yesterday and it is COMFY but bulky and kind of ugly but will will only be used on long trips with my wife so now I need to get myself a C&C for myself

I like my Corbin Gel seat. It has the key locking pin instead of the thumb
screw and give me plenty of back support.
