Seriously considering a new seat for my 2018 Fat Bob and cannot find a lot of info about rider position. I would like a seat that allows me to sit farther back while cruising but still allows me to slide up on the tank when I hit the Twisties.
Not sure how many of you guys have changed your seats but I am interested in feedback from those who have. If you comment please include a pic(s) of the seat, your opinion on comfort and which way it moved your riding position.
Thanks to any who reply.

 

The. Saddleman step up ls has been great. Great back support when I need it.

 

Very nice bike. Where is the riding position compared to the stock seat?

 

I changed out the seat almost immediately. So I don’t have a good comparison for you. I find the forward controls to limit how much I can move around but it’s a comfortable position for me I’m around 6 ft tall.

but there is enough space for me to move my back forward and backwards depending on how much lower back/tail bone support I want.

 

Whiplash just recently came out with seats for the new Fat Bobs. I run the gambler seat on my Street Bob and it definitely pushes you back. I find their seats to have more back support compared to other brands

I might do a bit of research on the Slipstream, thanks

 

Glad i can help. I forgot to mention their seats are wide too so your whole *** is on it haha

 

Contacted whiplash to ask about the rider position of the Slipstream as compared to stock. This is the reply I got ..

It will stay as stock. But it will be slightly lower. The new fat bob is a little tighter than the other bikes so we didn’t make much of a change to the stock position other than lowering, comfort and support.

I have a saddleman seat. Comfortable, and supportive. Can move around when i want to lean into a turn.

Only problem is i am so comfortable, dont want to lean into the turns anymore. Just cruise through them

 

My stage 3 FatBob, does that fairing you have make any difference at highway speeds?
