So it's a great seat for riding to work, running errands and general use. It's not the best seat for long hauls, unless you plan a lot of 30 minute breaks every 50 miles. I had figured on this, so I'm not disappointed.

Hey,
The bike looks great. I have the exact same bike as you, and I picked up the Badlander on Thursday. I love the way it looks, but I just couldn't take it. I put about 200 miles on it on Thursday night and Friday and I had to take it back. It was killing me....I had the Badlander on my Deuce and I loved it, so I couldn't figure out the difference. The parts counter guy put the Deuce Badlander and the Dyna Badlander side by side, and told me it had nothing to do with the padding, but probably more due to the angle that contours the rear fender. I absolutely love the look of your seat, I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me. I am all about sacrificing 'some' comfort for attitude and looks so that is why I am surprised that I couldn't deal with it.....I guess it depends on each individual. I'm in good shape, 6'2 200lbs, never had back problems, and can deal with a little discomfort as well as the next guy, but that seat just didn't match with me....I may try looking into one of the Stripper seats they have advertised but they had none in stock. They have the same low profile look, but at $369 a pop, they better be comfortable.......

Hey that looks nice.
When I was shopping for bikes I sat on a WG and I thought it was one of the comfiest motorcycle seats I'd ever sat on. I ended up buying an FXDCI and got a Tallboy seat when I ordered the bike because I'm 6'6". I got to say it is the ugliest thing that Harley Davidson make, and I got so sick of it "uglyfying" my bike I put the stock Badlander style seat back on yesterday. I've decided I'm gonna get extended Forwards for legroom instead.
Yeah ! my bike looks cool again.

Jamie-I can't quit figure out why your bike reminds me of something, lets see, I'm 50 years young and oh, oh, oh, that's it. It reminds me of mine!!!!! I have had the badlander seat on my sportster and really like the look, I agree the ride is not the most comfy, but my #$s is use to it and I like the look. Eric

iwant1, you will love the forward controls. That was the main reason I chose a WG. It was the most comfortable bike in the store.
bronk, the bike looks great. I noticed the slotted belt guard. I think that's a nice touch. Yeah, the strap was left off my seat. I am hearing about it from the OL too, but I am hanging tough. She will just have to hang on to me. [8D]
Killer, your bike looks great. What kind of turn signal mounts did you go with? I've got the HD relocation kit, but I have been modifying it trying to bring the signals in closer to the forks. So far it looks 50-50 that I've either made the kit better or totally ruined it. Once I pull the wires out of the bars, there is no turning back, so I am thinking on it for a bit trying to decide.

The Badlander will get better the more you sit in it. When I first got mine I was only good for about 50 miles. Now I have 2000 on her and my a$$ doesn't hurt until about 150 miles down the road. The seat will soften a little over time but mostly I think I just got use to it.
