Default need seat info

I was thinkig of buying the HD Badlander seat, but won't be able to sit on it before I buy it. How does it compare to the stock Fat Bob seat. It would suck to get it home and find out I don't like it. Any comments would be very appreciated, about the Badlander or the Brawler HD seats.
Thanks

I cant compare it to the fatbob seat, but I can say the badlander isnt very comfortable. Good for shorter trips, but I wouldnt suggest it for longer trips. I bought mine because I wanted a low profile 2-up, and thats all it is.

They are about the same. I've had both the Fat Bob and Badlander on my Street Bob. I took the Fat Bob back to the dealer b/c the passenger didn't think it was comfortable, I thought it was OK for <1hr trips. The lady-friend likes the Badlander a lot more, but again its only comfortable for an hour or so.

Thanks, I didn't know th dealer may let your try the seat. I'll take my bike there and ask them if I can try it right there.

My dealer said if I didn't like it, just bring it back (in good condition) and I'd get store credit. I did that with the Fat Bob seat.
