In the same boat dude. Have a Badlander now on my '06 RKC and it's not good for me. Got a few leads in classifieds on here for a Sundowner or a Mustang touring seat. Dealers don't stock seats for our year bikes to demo so we have to play the buy seat and hope it works game. Good luck man!

I rode this seat to Maine last autumn and to Daytona this spring, and it was perfect from my perspective. The gel conforms just enough to be comfortable, yet not enough that I ever felt the seat pan, which I did after a few hours with the stock seat. The same density is too firm for my wife, though, when she's on the back for even short trips. Not much padding on her, though.
So, I'm still on the search for something that works for both of us. May be letting the Saddlemen go for somewhat less than the $539 it cost me last September ...

How big are you? Some larger guys don't like the hammock, but my boney **** thinks it is a great seat.

That's Lawrence, who after the War took up motorcycling (as well as military aviation) in an attempt to recapture the rush and otherwise sort out what was in his head. It's a common pursuit, up to the present day.
He was a celebrity endorser of sorts, and was always afforded Brough's newest and most powerful model with which to seek his thrills. As anyone who's seen the opening scene of the movie knows, however, that combination proved fatal. Also a recurring theme, unfortunately.
Anyway ... as a professional military strategist who over the course of a long career has pondered some of the same cultural questions as he, and also a motorcyclist, I somewhat relate.
