Can't compare to a stock seat becasue Ive only had a 2 up touring seat, but when I ordered a brawler for my 2000, what I got is in my sig pic, I cant see doing more than 250 miles on it, but then again I'm a sissy, but you wont have to deal with the corner of the battery box poking you in your left thigh like I do.

Got a dyna, but..
The original seat is a bit more comfy, but the brawler is more than OK for me.
I really like the seat. Added more style to the bike. Enough comfy.

My wife rides with a Brawler seat and likes it. She also has the cheaper solo seat (forget the name but it cost $140) which she did not find as comfortable. Oddly enough the Brawler is more narrow in the front toward the tank and may even be narrower all the way back but she does find it more comfortable (probably because it cost me more money).

i have the brawler on my nightster. it made a differernce, but not as much as i was hoping. it is still better than the stock seat with the 1" extra foam i had placed in it.

good luck
