I like the plain look, the studs do nothing for me. I had the plain one on my Sportster and next year I will get a plain one for my RG. Just my opinion. To each their own.

Again this is MHO I do not like the stud look and would go for the plain seat, but again this is a personal choice.

IMHO there are very few motorcycles that look good with studs. I have seen maybe 5 that look really good with studs and thats over 40 years. It's either over done or have no rime or reason in there placement. There is one on this forum that looks very nice with them and some fringe.

On my bike no. I have tried it in the past and it is not for me.
