Default another seat question...

ok, i've got it narrowed down to three choices for my 'train...

which would u buy and why?


first, the one i'm really leaning towards...

this solo seat/pillion


next in line....

the sundowner



and lastly...

the nighttrain special


and they arein order of my preference at the moment. i'm looking for all day two up comfort without sacrificing too much style..lol...which is why i'm leaning towards the solo/pillion. anyway, i alos like the rider width of the first two. but i have to admit, today i got to see the train seat on a bike, and it looks pretty nice!

so, i leave it in ur capable hands to help me out..lol. i'm hoping a few of u folks have experience with these seats. let me know, i gotta get a new seat soon! my *** hurts...lol

Hey there Kent,

I like most all started with the factory seat that lasted about as long as a shot of cheap wiskey. I bought a sundowner which was better but not enough to continue using it so it went on Ebay and sold for a few dollars less than I paid for it. I ended up going with a Corbin and have never had a problem regardless of how long the rides are. Some of the plunkier folk seem to have a preference for the Mustang. Good news here is try it and if ya don't like it, sell it on EBay - ya you lose a few bucks but you'll end up with what works best for you. Randy

I got my BAR Enterprises Hitchhiker Plain seat, with Millenium Foam on the driver's portion, today. I installed it and only got to put about 20 miles on it, but HOLY CRAP!! It's like my Night Train has a new suspension. The lumbar support is amazing and I just sink into the seat. I hardly feel bumps in the road anymore! Also the front of the seat is wider than the Badlander, so I get thigh support too! Simply amazing so far! I really can't wait for the chance to go on a long ride to really give it a workout!

Cheers!
