Default Badlander seat ??
Will this seat lower your ride height ? Is it comfortable?Tring to reduce my ride height about 1 inch ,if anyone knows of another seat let me know. Does anyone have a pic of this on a street glide or Electra glide without tour pack? Thanks

I had one on my Fatboy. It does lower you, however it is not a long haul seat in my opinion. It is good for short rides.

Got one and love it. Definitely brings you closer to the ground. Although It looks great and is comfortable for around town it's no touring seat. Never used one before and thought I'd be a hero and use it on a 6 day 4500km road trip a couple weeks ago. Never ever again! Any long distance and I'll be puttin' my stocker back on.

I had a Badlander on my Softtail, it lowers you but because there is little foam. You might want to look at the Ralleyrunner from HD. I have one on my Street Glide in the picture. It is a little more comfortable than the Badlander but niether are long distance seats.

I have one on my 06' street glide. The guy had it on the bike when I got it used. It does lower you and put you back a little. I love the lines of the seat. I'm in my early 30's and weigh about 175lbs so right now it still has enough padding for me. It is nice to get up and walk around every hundred miles though. Hopefully this year I can replace it with a c&c fastback seat that has similar lines but I can add a detachable backrest.

Here's one. I didn't mind the seat for short rides, but my wife hates it.
