Default Help with seat.

I searched for any thing i could find about seats, but came up with very little. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

I'm using the stock solo seat and want to have a 2 up ready for action when i need it.... the badlander is low profile which i like, and i can get one for $162.
Are they comfortable?

Any advice, pros, cons, or other better seat suggestions????

I likely won't be taking long trips with 2 riders, but would like to have a comfy seat for me on long rides....so as long as the drivers part of the 2 up is good I'm fine with that.

Tough question? what's your weight and how much will the Godess weigh or any future Godesses. A puffy seat will afford you more comfort and a low profile seat will most likely afford you less comfort but look Baaaadddder!

the badlander looks great - it's also the single most uncomfortable seat ever made. anything is better - ANYTHING

I took an educated guess and turned it into a Corbin Dual Tour. I'm VERY happy. Great comfort for the rider and passenger, short and long haul.

It does put you up an inch or inch and a half, but that doesn't bother me, and in fact I feel i have better control.

It's quite damned expensive though. But in my (admittedly currently oddly affluent for me) position, it's damned well worth it. And pesonally I thought it looked nice at first and think it looks great now.

Seats are very subjective. What I like and find comfy, you may not and vice versa. As far as comfort, the sundowner is second to none but it's pretty fugly. Your passenger will love it.
