Im thinking about geting a seat. The harley badlander seat. What is different about it from the stock seat. Ive only noticed it just looks alot nicer. But ive never seen one other than in pictures.
Im kinda between that and a Sidekick or a corbin gunfighter. I always find myself sliding on to the passenger seat when i open it up. So i want something with a little back sopport to keep my a$$ in place. If you guys know any other seat that has alittle more raise in the passenger seat Plz let me know.

I picked up a Brawler for $100 on Craigslist last month and it's great. Comfortable, looks good, and no more sliding back when you get on the throttle.
One of the First Mods put on my Sporty even before the 1200 Big Bore was the Mustang Vintage Wide .. Heard Good things about the Badlander and brawler as well .. But this is the seat I can recommend from 3 years of riding it and still looks like it came out of the box...
Badlander is virtually stock seat shape and covered in leather I think.
If you want good looking, sleek and comfortable seats look at Lepera, C&C Seats or even Mustang (personally after 6k miles on my Mustang vintage I never liked the looks, seat hgt. or flat seat shape so I sold it). Corbins are overpriced and very, very hard with a very long break-in period, just my opinion. The Lepera Maverick or Sorrento both have deep bucket shape with a lot of back support same is true of the fastback and sport touring by C&C.
