Default Why do you buy another seat?

With so many seat threads, I'm wondering why people purchase another seat for their HD. What is the primary reason you replace your stock seat?

i honestly could not care less about the looks of the seat (unless it is studded). a plain black seat that is super comfy is all I care about. Mine is probably a little too wide for my bike's lines, but I am not showing the bike, I am sitting on it. Comfort is number 1 for me.

my next seat will probably be for looks. I have one stock seat and one seat for comfort "the big ugly" for the long rides. I look at it like adding chrome it doesn't make you go fast but it sure does lookgood sitting outside your favorite watering hole.

I bought my Corbin to change the look of the bike when I am by myself. Other wise stock seat and back rest is on when the wife goes.

Most people who call me don't care what the seat looks like after we are finished with but just want a comfortable seat they can ride all day on and then be able to walk the next day. I personally like the seats looks but its gotta be comfy because looks don't ease the burn

Comfort pure and simple. The stock Badlander that came with my Night Train is more of a torture device than a seat!

Cheers!

The stock seat that came with my FXST is worthless. I bought a nice looking and very comfortable Mustang seat and can ride all day. Comfort first, looks second when it comes to motorcycle seats for me.
