Just wait until you ride on that brick for more than an hour or so. You may be spending more money to replace it. I had one on a Dyna and it was the most God awful ride ever. Took it off and never used it again.

I agree. It is the most uncomfortable seat I have used. It does look great but my back is sore after a full day of riding. Plus it sits me about 2" further back.

I bought one new and installed it on my '08 FXDWG.
Immediately liked to look, huge change but the only difference between that and a piece of plywood was that I didn't get any slivers!

My old bike had a corbin solo and it was a brick covered in leather. So this seat would be a step up.

They are one of the best looking 50 mile seats on the market.. Find someone to put some Gel or foam in it ...
