Default Road Glide Seat???

How comfy are they??? I was leaning towards a Badlander but noticed the RG seat while surfing it looks more comfy than the Badlander. I have got to get rid of that gigantic muffin behind me when i am tour pakless. Cost is a factor for now though i didnt really see a 2 up Corbin or Mustang that jumped out at me as far as looks. Yes i know the Badlander is exactly a great 2 up seat but would suffice for a short ride.

Today I sat on a Badlander mounted on an Electra Glide Standard - - -no way - - seems like a rock...I'll keep my stock seat - - I'm sure it's just as hard on a King - -looks hot IMO -but not for my B*TT on the long haul!

7500 miles with stock saddle on my RG and very satisfied. My wife, Kat of the tender bottom, likes the passenger part also.

I love the Road Glide seat on my Police Electra Glide. Its fairly sleek, and very comfy. I bougth the bike in Florida and road back to New Hampshire in two days, and put almost 10K on the bike this summer. Very nice seat, and mine has the slot for rider backrest, which I plan to get some day.

The Badlander is thinner and harder, looks cool, nice bar hopper. But I wouldn't want to ride it all day, and that's what a touring bike is for!

I have the one off my RG. Not enough back support for me (I like the lazyboy feel) so I never used it. Message me if you think you want it and lets talk.

man you guys must go home to a aircusioned heated recliner at nite, a badlander seat on a sporty for a couple hundred miles is a rock, the badlander on my glide is very comfortable to me.
