Default Brawler or Buttcrack

Looking at the HD Brawler seat & the Danny Gray buttcrack seat. I'm 6'2 and wanting to sit lower & back further. I'm not worried about comfort so which 1 of these seats would be achieve that for me?

That's hard to say. Ten different people are going to have twelve different butts. Even at the same height, we're all assembled differently.

I will say, however, that Danny Grey uses real leather, and I appreciate that. I just can't get excited about a pleather seat.

I kind went thru the same thought process but I figured I'd sent it to mcc and save a few bucks and get a more comfortable seat

Here's a pic of a Brawler on my 09.

I'm about your height, I would guess that the seating position is about 1" down and 1.5" back from the FLHX seat.

A HD dealer should have a brawler you can try at least in-store




if you are considering a solo seat, pull off your current seat and make sure the fender isn;t scuffed up underneath.

If you like it then that might be the seat that sits back & down the most.

I've got the buttcrack. Fits my **** nicely, and the quality is great on it. No regrets. I've had a Corbin in the past also, and it's as nice. They feel the same to me.
