Badlander Seat worthless
I am wondering if it is just me, or anyone else agrees. I ordered a HD Badlander seat off ebay because it looked like a really neat seat. When I got it, I was supper disappointed -thin, hard as a rock and very uncomfortable. Transmitted every little vibration, looked great, but very uncomfortable. Wasted my money.

i have a badlander and do my commute and weekend rides on it
has about 1400 miles on it now plus what the PO put on it before i got it from
him.
it has softened up really nice as far as my butt is concerned but i also have a
harley reach seat that i got a great deal on and that is my distance seat
if were going to do a couple hundreds miles i will toss that on and my passengers
love that seat.

It is not the most padded seat in the world, on this we agree.
Wife has started to ride w/me sometimes and hates it, and when she does the original seat will go on, it only takes about 30 seconds to change them out so she'll be happy.
Badlander stays the rest of the time.

I am pretty sure that the stock seat on my 2009 1200C was a Badlander. I could live with it, but I rarely ride more than 100 miles in a day. For a passenger, it is a sick joke. I replaced it with a Sundowner, primarily for the sake of my wife. I don't care much for the looks of the Sundowner, but it is a much more comfortable seat.
