Does anyone have any experience with the Badlander seat? Thinking about one for the RK and wanted some opinions. Thanks!!

 

Depending on what year bike. It lowers you about an inch,moves you back about two inches,and is hard as a rock.

 

Ditto, had one, gave it away to a buddy. Definately not an all day seat....and I suppose riding on the back would be better than walking across death valley....in August. Looked good though.

 

It looks great, but has been referred to as an thinly upholstered 2x8.

 

Thanks for the reply guys. I guess I will not be giving that one another look. Back to the drawing board for a new seat it is.

 

I've had Badlanders on just about every bike I have owned, and they weren't too bad, and better looking than just about every other MoCo seat.

Have a Stripper on my RK now. Never saw another one on any touring bike; Harley made 'em but they weren't in the catalog, so many people don't even know they existed for touring bikes. Real leather, looks like a giant leech, & Pretty comfy for a slinky seat, and about the best looking seat you can put on a touring bike. Here is a pic.

 

That stripper does look good.

I had a badlander on my 09 RK. It was fine to me. I have one on the Crossbones as well. Did fine on 500 mile days. Mean City Cycles can also do some miracles on the Badlander.

 

i had one on my SG, it is low and kinda hard but overall its pretty comfortable, its not a seat for touring thousands of miles at at time. i have a cvo seat now and love it for looks and long haul comfort

 

I've had one on every bike I have had since 2001. I love them, and yes I leave mine on even when riding cross country. Done many an 800 mile day on mine.

 

stuck one on my SG at a dealer, sat down, stood the bike up, leaned it back over on the stand and took it off. didnt even bother with the test ride. looked cool but felt like i was sitting on a rock wall.
