Default Seats, seats, and more seats...

After riding around today with three different seats, I have finally made up my mind. For now anyway! I ended up with the stock Fatboy Lo riders seat solo with the HD Rear fender bib. I got my hands on an 07-10 Fatboy seat with the passenger pillion on Ebay. I had that setup before, but I gotta say the Lo seat is way more comfortable and lets you sit "in" the bike not on it. Anyway now I have an 07-up set, the Lo set, and a 07-up badlander 2up seat. Gonna need a bigger garage just for seats.

I can relate. I have three seats and not 100% satisfied with any of them. I too have the stock Lo seat and find it much better for me than the stock 07 FB seat. I also have a C&C Solo seat and a C&C Sport Tour seat..... both are not exactly the best for long rides. But I like the way they sit me down and back. I will keep trying to find the "mother of all seats".

I'll see your three seats and raise ya three.
I've got the stock seat that came with the bike. Another stock seat they gave me because the one on the bike when I bought it had a big hole in the foam, a seat off of a Deluxe that I liked but put me too low (same for the stock seats), a XBones seat with the XBones mounting hardware and two different Tractor seats. I'm running a CCI Pogo setup with the XBones seat now and it seems to work the best for me.

I think most riders have gone through the challenge of finding a comfortable seat.
I tried the HD Sidekick (hurt my butt) and Corbin Dual Touring (like the seat but could not use with my detachable passenger backrest & luggage rack). Finally got the Corbin Gunfighter which I am really happy with. Very comfortable and great back support.

Wow, that chrome piece looks like it would be a butt burner after some time in the summer sun.

I must be lucky, the stock Deluxe seat seems like it was custom made for me.
