Default Harley Badlander Seat

When I bought my bike the guy gave me this seat.&nbsp\\; Washed the bike last night and thought I take off the Corbin and give it a try.&nbsp\\; Rode 3 miles to work this morning.&nbsp\\; I do NOT recommend it!&nbsp\\; This seat is terrible.&nbsp\\; Its the equivalent of placing a board on your bike.&nbsp\\;

Seriously, I know it looks kewl, but I'd get a Corbin or Mustang immediately.&nbsp\\; You have no idea of the comfort you are missing.

I have one on my streetglide and have no problems with it. I usually turn 160 to 180 mile days on it and im not sore at all

Looks kind of like the seat that came on my Streetglide.&nbsp\\; Reasonably comfortable, but not quite wide enough for my wide backside.&nbsp\\; I understand the '08 seats like mine are more comfortable than previous models.&nbsp\\; The Sundowner is significantly more comfortable.

I tried a Badlander for about a month, maybe I didn't give it time but I never could get OK for anything over about 2 hours at a time riding, just changed to a solo Corbin and so far its great. SO, that said I have an almost new Badlander for a FLHT-03- that someone can get REAL CHEAP!!!!&nbsp\\; Gary

Thanks to EbayI've got 3 seats for my 08 SG
a stock one that I use when I'm solo - it's fine up to 150 miles
a Roadglide seat we put on when Mrs Smokin is with me - she's fine to 200
and a 2008 Ultra seat that we use when we are going over 200 miles or so - we're both real fine!!
I may have the stocker recovered in a different color like Gray or Tan ( Pearl White Streetglide )

Ive got the badlander on my sled, works for me. 100 mile trips no soreness. Havent done any touring with it yet.&nbsp\\;Wouldnt mind seeing a pic of a brawler&nbsp\\;on a bagger. The one in the book&nbsp\\;I have seen looks Kick&nbsp\\;azz. Mabey not comfy.
