Default saddlemen gel seats

I have already ordered my saddlemen renegade seat,so I'm gonna find out one way or the other how comfy they are,but does anyone else have one? Do you love it hate it or in-between? I weigh 185 and it's going on the fatbob!

Hmmm... I went to the Saddlemen site since i am actively trying to decide on a seat for long distance cruising but as low profile as possible. Their seats look great but there search doesn't seem to return any models available for 1020 Dyna, or Dyna Wide Glide. Am I missing something??

I don't know if there are any differences in the Saddlemen gel, but I used a Pro-Pad gel pad to modify the seat on the my old Yamaha. It improved it a little, but if I was doing it again I think I'd try memory foam instead.

Right now I'm currently debating whether I should get my FXD seat modified or just buy an aftermarket seat.

I had one on a 2003 wideglide and thought it worked well. It did seem to retain some heat when it sat out in the sun. I ran it for several years but then the wifey want a little more (wider) seat in the rear so I switch to a mustang seat. Now that she is starteing to ride her own I have thought about switching back.

I've got the Explorer (2up) seat on my Street Bob. I'm very happy with it so far. It will seem pretty firm at first - it takes around 1000 miles to break in depending on your weight. Remember the stock seats are made to feel comfie when you FIRST sit on the bike, on the showroom floor. Don't you love marketing guys?
