Default Stock seat replacement

Okay, Here's my dillema, I have an '05 RK Classic and want to replace the stock seat. I've heard all the good things about the HD Sundowner, it is a comfortable seat. One thing, I don't care for the wide passenger seat, it looks a little distorted. I thought of a solo seat since I usually ride alone but I like the look of a one piece 2up seat. Any suggestions or any other manufacturers out there with the same comfort and more streamlined passenger seat? I'll even sacrafice keeping the classic basket weave look on the seat. Thanks.

Another vote for Corbin. It takes a few miles to break in, but well worth it IMO.

Don't forget one of our guys here "Badx" can modify your stock seat for $40 plus shipping. He has a website also that shows it.

I had bad luck with a Mustang on my Heritage, as well as an Air Hawk pad, made my gonads go to sleep. Corbin might be fine. I am now using an Airrider memory gel pad on my Ultra stock seat and it's the only thing I have found that I can lliterally stay on all day, if I didn't have to stop and pee.

So how do you get in touch with BadX

PM me I did a RK seat a few months ago that was bad azz. The guy I did it for is bringing it back next weekend to go even lower on it. I'll get some pictures of it when it gets to the shop and post them.

Corbin Gambler sounds like it would meet your needs. Corbin is the only way to roll in my opinion.
