Default Rear Fender/Seat Ideas

ihave done some work to my '07 Fatkid and im undecided on what to do with the seat. the bike has been lowered 1.5" in the rear and raked in the front. the seat is the most uncomfortable seat i have ever been on. i think i can MAYBE go 45 minutes beforemy back gives out!i am thinking Mustang solo seat. any ideas??



Thanks for the help

Damn, nice work man. Wheels look awesome.

Mustang's are recommended all over these boards, so that's a pretty safe bet. The only other seat I ever sat on was a mountain bike's seat. So I think it's pretty damn comfortable.

It's a shame the stock seat ain't a little more comfortable because I quite like the look of the stock seat. I don't go for hugely long rides and so I am not that fussed about changing mine but if yours is annoying you that much then maybe take a look at a GEL filled seat which should be HEAPS more comfortable. Will however be hard to find a seat that LOOKS good and is MEGA COMFORTABLE.... but I am sure there are some out there.

WHat size are those wheels? Did you lower the rear or does that new back wheel just make it look like you did (which is good either way). Also, what did they set you back? Thinking about doing mine next as I have already purchased most of the other bits I wanted.

Me again...

What forward controls have you got on your bike? If not accutronix, did they bolt right up?

Hey Ironfreak.. what did you use to rake the front 1.5.. it looks f'n sweet that way.. them stock lowers?(well chrome tho) which tripple tree set up did you use?

I gotta say useing shortys is awesome with them forward controls you have, you wont ever touch the pipes... where I have hit the pipes slightly before and yea I have forward controls...
hell with it rakes out you could use more extended forward controls than 1".. you could go 3 or 4". Way sweet...

A mustang or a corbin.. if u wanted an HD, try the Sidekick

Go with a C&C Seat... it will fit the lines of the bike a bit better too...

comfy seats... great looks... great customer service..... all reasonably priced...

Nice bike, my vote also is for the C&C solo seat. I too had the same riding problem with my stock seat. Once I changed, it was like night and day. What is the make and style of your wheels? I would seriously consider going with something like that on my Fat Boy.
