Harley Davidson seat good shape with no rips or tears

That seat is from a Road King Classic ... doubt it would fit unless you figure out a work around ....

not sure what you guys are talking about. I love my badlander seat. got the leather one. maybe I just have more fat on my *** than you guys. I can pretty much go all day without a break.

(reminds me to take a new sig pic since I added the seat and stuff)

I hear ya on that. I do the same thing. I actually prefer the comfort and position of my barebones solo but eventually my **** can't take anymore. So, I stop, walk around for a few minutes, and hop back on. But, when I know I need to go longer and harder, I throw on the Tallboy seat. It's f'ugly but comfy.

And while you're add it, they can put different padding in it to make it better. May be worth it if you can get that done for less than 100 bucks. Would save you 50 bucks over a new one, and be more comfortable too.

I wouldn't pay $50 for a ripped seat personally.

I do like the look of the badlander but I can see it being uncomfortable for long trips. The guys at Mean City will be taking care of mine next month but I'd still like to see the write up being done here too.

If you grab the seat for $75 instead of paying full price for new and put a couple bucks into it upgrading the foam you will still be well ahead of the game in the end. At least that's my view on it.

Don't think that one is off an 02 Wide Glide. Stock Wide Glide seat would be one piece with a single mounting screw in the back. That one looks like it may be off a Softail.
Before you buy a used seat, try it on your bike to make sure it fits before you pay for it. You're getting too many people telling you their seat 'should' fit your bike.
