While I also like the stock seat, I wanted a solo for looks. I found a company called Mammoth Choppers, and bought a leather, flame-stitched seat for well under $200! Delivery was fast (about 3 days), and the seat is beautiful. I would definitely recommend them. Check out www.mammothchoppers.com .

My 05 Annv Fatboy came with a Badlander, not a bad seat I could go a 100 miles at a time with not much problem. I tried a Corbin Gunfighter and Lady and I did not like it too hard for my taste. I shopped around and found a company called C & C Seats www.ccseats.com and bought a Fastback from them and love it, very comfortable for me and great price 250.00.

I had the same problem not too long ago. I just went out and sat on a few. I now have a corbin that I wouldnt trade for anything.
T3 Those guys weigh 120 pounds and there weight is in there legs. Some of us in here drink beer. Why a small seat like that could ruin a fella.lol

Those guys in the Tour De France ride 120 mile stages on bicycles with tiny hard as h@ll seats weighing about 150 grams and they have no complaints.One thing to be learned from cyclists is that riding position (where your hands are,where your feet are,how your back is positioned etc is extremely important in making any seat provide optimal comfort..

I used to do that stuff including Ultramarathon events-went 340 miles on a road bike (bicycle) during a 24 hr race.(My voice has finally changed back from tenor to baritone)

But to be serious I think my road and mountain biking background is part of the reason the drag bars and badlander seat on my Nightrain seem comfortable.I haven't had it on any rides over 120 miles yet,so time will tell....

Yama.....My wife definitely likes it better, she didn't much care for the stock seat. I did not buy the fender bib, just took off the plastic on the rear fender. I only have a pic with it solo. I think JLOCKHART29 has some pics of it two up on his bike in his profile. It doesn't look as good as some of the bar hopper solos but I was looking for something that looked decent and was comfortable for her and me for longer hauls. I'm real pleased with it. Here's a pic.
