Default Saddlemen Americano cafe seat...opinions?

I just got mine in the mail today and quickly installed it before I made dinner for the family, so haven't tried it out yet I really like the look/construction of it. Anyone here have any experience with 'em? Man is it hard to find a cool, classic looking, comfortable seat for Sportsters! This was the best I could find.

Well lucky, you already bought it and installed it, why ask opinion now.
Enjoy it if that's what you like.

I dunno, because I want to see what others think of 'em?

Well, my opinion is it looks like one of those ancient french hats. The back is too bulky and changes the whole look of the bike. It doesnt even look comfy for 2 up riding.

Rode it to work today and my first impression is it's surprisingly comfortable. It has a gel layer and you can tell. It's taller than the last seat I had so that's great. Plus, I dig the cafe style so I like it. So far. We'll see after I ride it to Colorado in a few months.
