Default FB lo seat on a FXST....thoughts or opinions

My buddy had his stock FB lo seat just setting in the garage so I thought I'd try it on my FXST. First off I'd have to drill 2 holes in my fender for the front part of the seat to mount....no big deal. I set it on and used the rear mount to see how it looks. What do you think? Hows the comfort on these seats? It definitely sets me "in" the bike instead of "on" it, which is what I want. If I don't keep it, I'll list it on here in the classifieds for him.

Looks good, but I found mine pushed me too far forward, and I cut a ton of foam out of it.
But it does look good.

Wow. I feel like this seat sets me back further, not forward.

Thanks! I'm not sure how comfy it is because I haven't taken a ride yet. I'm getting ready to drill some holes and mount it up in the morning. If I don't like it, no big deal since the holes will be covered by any other seat I put on.

I think it looks horrible and you should sell it to me cheap.

Yea, I love that blue paint too. I don't understand why HD doesn't offer those colors still. They try to get to fancy IMO .... even though I do like some of the newer colors too.
