Yep...the Badlander is terrible.[8D] It was almost as bad as the stock seat. Glad I finally got the Mustang.
I actually think the stock seat is comfortable, so maybe the badlander wont be too bad for me.

If that is the stock seat in the pic, a Badlander only has about 1/2 that padding. The stock seat on mine was a "Badlander style" and it didn't look anything like yours.

I have an 05 1200 C and the stock seat is great as far as I'm concerned. I guess I'm just lucky.

Yea i was looking at stock seats for 01-03 and i saw some that weren't as padded as mine that i thought about, but i figured i'd just buy a brand new one.

I have no problem with the stock seat but I like this Brawler solo seat very much, it feels and looks good.
