Default New Road King/ Badlander seat

My Dyna LowRider was fun but not practical enough so last week I traded up to a new (06) RK. Everything is good but the seat. I like the HD Badlander seat in the big wish book, so today I went back to my dealer with hopes to actually see one. WRONG AGAIN. "Nope dont have one. Cant show you one. Just order one and hope like hell its what you wanted." I am SO tired of the attitude of my dealership here in Sin City. Anyway, my question is do any of you guys have the Badlander seat? Good or bad reviews? The stock seat makes my a** fall asleep. Too soft. Thanks......Johnnie

Don't have the badland, but have the Sundowner on my 06 King and have no regrets.

I have the badlander on my 06 EG. Looks great but is VERY hard on the butt. I guess my boney a$$ does not help but I use the Badlander for local crusing only. For long distance I use the stock EG seat. Compared to the badlander it is a couch!

Thanks for the input. I had a Lepera Barebones on my Dyna and I guess I got used to it.
