Default Fat Boy seat

I've got an "07" Fat Boy and I'm thinking of putting a new custom seat on it. I'm looking for some feed back on what custom seats you guys are riding on and the pros & cons to each of the seats that are available.

I ride a Russell day long seat. I tried several and this is the most comfortable by far. Here is a link to their web site so you can get more info.[/align]http://www.day-long.com/[/align][/align]p.s. I do not work for this company nor am I paid by them in any way. I am just a very happy customer.[/align]

Wow... seems like deja vu all over again

There are a lot of threads here regarding replacement seats, so be sure to use the search function to research prior responses...

You'll find a number of them regarding my selections... I've got the same Fat Boy and chose to go with the Solo and Sport Tour C&C Seats - I'm extremely happy with the appearance and comfort for shorter trips, but they certainly wouldn't be appropriate selections for long-range trips. You'll need to specify what your riding requirements are so that you can receive the proper feedback.

Good luck,
Roger

I have the saddleman tattoo profileer. It has gel in the passenger area, this is mainly a single seat rider. Its pretty comfortable and has decent back support. C&C seats are another choice. Heard some good things from them as well.

I ride on a Danny Gray Weekday 2up with Gel and I couldn't be happier with it. My buddy has a C&C 2up and it's awsome too. The C&C is a little harder I think, but they are both great. I think the price is nice with C&C too. My Danny Gray is worth every penny though.

Yeah Paul - that brought some 'memories' (haven't had mine all that long, so they aren't ancient memories) rushing back and gave me a chance to step back and look at how far mine has come (relatively speaking, of course).

Hi,

I went for the SE look seat from HD on my 07 Fat Boy,

I find it far more comforable than the original seat, its narrower and a bit lower.

On the bad side the passenger has a much narrower seat.

Cheers,

Kev

I went with the Corbin Gunfighter because I wanted a rider's backrest.
I love the look and it sits you about and an inch or so lower.
Corbin comfort, but it fells hard, comfy but hard, no numb butt.



I love the stiching detail of it too.



It follows the lines of the bike well too.



Somebody could ride on the back around town anyway.



Maybe that was too much info, or too many pictures, uh?

Corbin Hollywood Solo.

I love the minimal look to it, and I swear it puts me at least an inch closer to the ground.

Of course, I have to change back to the stock seat every time my wife wants to ride...
