Post FatBob seat alternatives

Anybody tried either the
1. H-D SE leather seat,
2. sidekick seat or
3. badlander seat
on their FatBob?

If so, do you have pictures, and how is it for comfort - both rider and passenger?

I'm looking for something that'll give decent rider comfort, better (than stock) passenger comfort, and still look good on the FatBob.

Am I asking too much?

Cheers,
-Jack

Wink Fat Bob saddle

Hey mate

I've changed my stock saddle with this comfort one, 10 times better than the original one, also for the passenger. Hope this will help you, good luck.
Let me know if you need more information about it.

André.

Hi Evil,

honestly I don't know what kind of seat it is, because it was the only one available in the store of my dealer. I can just confirm that it fit and sit perfect.

Best regards,

André.

I know it's not one of the choices you posted but it doesn't look like your getting any other responses.
I've got the pillow look seat. It is more comfortable for passenger and driver.
I didn't want something so big but my wife needed it. It's not the look I was after but it's not bad after all.
Good luck.

Looks like a Sundowner seat. 51540-06 from the accessories catalogue. A very comfortable seat for both rider and pillion.

YOu might try getting your stocl seat re-done. There's a guy who re-works stock seats for as little as $40 (re-shaping). I just had the Memory Foam mod done ($100). He also does some much more extreme mods & customization. He's working upholstery all his life and takes mail-in jobs. You might check him out...

I dont have a fat bob. I have a street bob but I do have a badlander seat on it. the seat is alittle harder that the stock seat but nothing that bothers me at all. As far is the passanger part of the seat goes if it is anything other than jumps from bar to bar or rides under a hour the old lady wont be happy and all you will hear is how there butt is numb. hope that helps your choice.
