Default Biltwell HD Tuck n' Roll Seat

Just won an auction on a Biltwell HB Seat - Black Tuck n' Roll for a good price.

Anyone else have one, do you like it?
How is the comfort over stock?

I am putting it on an iron, replacing the stock seat. Wanted to have something that occasionally could take my wife on but not sacrifice style all that much.

I have that exact seat as my only seat. Had a Nightster seat & a 48 seat. The HB is way more comfortable. you can move forward & back & change how you sit. Good seat, comfortable & the fit/finish is top notch. I saw it on eBay for like $125 yesterday, cool someone on here got it.

Here's mine

Your scoot looks sick... like it. Lots of little things going on there to set it apart.

The ebay seller is even throwing in some used Biltwell struts, he said need a little paint touch up but otherwise good to go. How is the ride with yours?

To install, is it just a basic swap out with the shocks, nothing you have to modify? I would definitely like to try them out?

Yeah, nothing to modify, just unbolt & bolt the others in. I used a cherry picker to lift the bike while changing them out.

The Biltwell Hb seat is very comfy. You will like it. I have the diamond cut one on my 48.

Biltwell posted a shot of one on a 72...it looked awful, but I'm hoping that was just the angle it was shot at...I still kinda want one

Pretty much. In rain water may get everywhere.

It put one on my 48 and I love it!. Too thin for my wife to ride 2-up though. She got one of those add on seats that sit on top and hasn't had any problems. We recently rode from Austin to Galveston for the Lone Star Rally and I never got uncomfortable.

I love the look of their seats, I wish they made more models for the current sportsters. Is like to get a cafe seat for my iron.
