I have the Stripper Seat. I've sacrificed some comfort for looks but worth the $$$ in my book. If you plan on going solo it's ideal for that because it is not really designed for a passenger (being 6.5" wide in the back); however, it does come with a grab strap and you can go 2 up. I sure as he!! wouldn't want to be back there[&:] .Overall it is a well manufactured seat. Check out my pictures.

To: 2006streetglide --- thats a bad looking bike.... the seat looks good on there..... i ride 2 up about 70% of the time.... it was actually my girl who kept pushing me to get a new harley....... she's 5'1 and about 100lbs soakin wet (asian girl)..... so she may just fit comfortbably on that 6.5" wide back seat.........

thanks for the photos man......

I'm not sure what a stripper seat is?
But I have a Genuine HD leather 2up low-profile seat that I just put on Ebay the other day. It's in very good shape and looks cool. You can see it on ebay Item # 4622379478 I paid $279.00 +Tx a couple years ago. All the info is on ebay you should check it out. My starting bid is set at $100.00 and their is NO-RESERVE on the seat, so it will sell to the highest bidder.
To see the seat you would need to check it out on ebay, for some reason I can't figure out how to post pictures on this forum. I've done it several times on ebay but for some reason it won't work on here. When I get home I will put a picture of my RK with the Low-profile seat on ebay, right now I just have two pics of the seat. I ended up going with a Mustang solo, so I don't have any use for the Low-profile anymore.

The stripper is a high end (read - lots of $ ) seat done in leather with optional inset designs. It costs about $200 more than a badlander.

Here is a link to HD seats:

Garrison thanks for the props...

For the record, I'm always willing to lend a hand when needed. If you would like to send your G/F over I'll let her try the seat out if you like. This way, I may be saving you alot of money and precious time for something you may not like

I had a Badlander on my FXD -- great around town for the rider, but any passenger will get a serious wedgie!
