My seat on my 2002 1200 is uncomfortable alittle for me on long trips and really uncomfortable for the ladies on the back of it. im trying to find a seat similar but with more padding. I checked in to getting it gelled but the guy told me that the back portion wouldnt matter cuz its so narrow. So if anyone can give me there 2 cents on a good seat for a desent price let me know please.

Oh yeah this is a pic of my seat. Thanks again

 

B.B. Get a Sundowner seat from HD. When you are solo use the good looking seat and when on a trip or with a passenger change out to the Sundowner. It's only one screw.

DC.

 

I was going to buy the sundowner, but the reason I didn't was that the driver portion of the seat tended to make me feel like it was pushing me forward. Ended up getting a Mustang Seat. If you can live with the pushing forward part then the Sundowner is a VERY good seat from what I've heard and read. I agree on taking it on and off as needed. Very easy switch... 30 seconds.

 

I've heard good things about the Mustang and the HD Sundowner seats..

I actually like the stock seat that came on my 1200C, but then again, I don't ride "2-up" other than to give short little rides on the back from time to time.

Not sure how comfortable someone would be on the back on a long haul.

 

I liked my stock 2 up seat until I rode about 100 miles one day then I knew I needed a different seat. I got the Mustang vintage 2 piece seat. I only ride solo so the solo seat is on it all the time. I did buy the passenger seat also just in case my wife ever gets brave enough to ride with me.
The Mustang seat made a big difference not only in comfort but in great looks also. I would recommend them.

 

I guess I'm lucky. I've put in a couple 10 hour days on my stock 1200 C seat and it works just great for me.

 

After the first 2 hour ride on our new 06 XL Custom, the wife theaten not to ride again till I changed out the stock seat. I went out the next day and got the HD Pillow Look touring seat (and matching backrest pad for the sissy bar) and now she's happy! It's about $70 less than the HD Sundowner and so far, its working out great and looks good too.
