I put one of those on my Street Bob because I liked the look. I think it's really comfortable. Rode an 800 mile day last summer with no problem, and then went out and rode 350 the next day. I also did a half dozen more days of 400-500 miles. I'm really glad I got it.

I've tried the stock seat for a while on my 2010 GXDWG. I found it very unconfortable for me (I am 6' 2''). Needless to say the stock pillion seat is a joke and an insult to someone that paid money to buy this lovely bike. It is like a stone brick covered with leather
I've bought a used Fat Bob stock seat over e-bay for 70 $ and I have it on for 3 months. I've done a lot of mileage on it and I've found it very confortable. Pillion also likes it with the needed addition of the stock small sissy bar pad (not shown on photo)

I liked the look of the stock seat and it is FAR more comfortable than the solo seat on my 1999 Sportster. (For those of you that think the stock WG seat sucks, you have no idea how bad it can get.) However, on my trip to Vegas from Temecula (about 300 miles one way) I had some butt fatigue when I got to where I was going. It wasn't nearly as bad as my Sportster but I still felt there was room for improvement.
So I sent the stock seat off to Mean City Cycles and had them do their Memory Foam treatment to it and then recover it with a leather cover. The new seat is thicker, but FAR more comfortable. I have yet to have a day where I have felt any fatigue from the seat.
I did both the solo and stock pillion and it was well worth it but I usually only ride with the solo seat on.
