Here are a couple iPhone photos I took right after the install. Then I went for a short ride...enough to get a feel for the way it changed my riding position, but certainly not a long enough ride to comment on comfort yet. As for the riding position, I really like the change. This seat brings me down and back a little (eliminates the feeling of being pushed too close to the tank); back far enough so that I feel like I can really stretch my legs out. Even the way I grip the bars is more comfortable in this seat. HUGE difference in feel from the stock seat. I'm really looking forward to going on a longer ride to get a full sense of what this thing has to offer (or lacks, for that matter). I'm definitely liking the way it looks on the Softail frame!! I'll be back to post more after a longer ride. **Sorry for the tiny photos...not sure why they didn't attach full size**
looks good!
(other than that rear reflector

Okay...I've been riding on this seat for about three weeks now, and feel comfortable commenting on it's comfort level. This will definitely be my "around-town" seat...I have no comfort issues when riding around thirty miles or less. My a$$ starts to get numb right around the 30-mile mark and it remains uncomfortable for the rest of the ride. It's pretty much what I expected, so if I had it to do over again I'd buy the same seat. It looks amazing on the Deluxe, I love the riding position, and for longer rides I still have the option of taking the few minutes to swap it out for the stock seat. I don't think you can have your cake and eat it too when it comes to low-profile, bas a$$ looking seats, that are ALSO super comfortable!

I went a few years on a rigid sportster with a rolled T-shirt for a seat.
I have a bare bones now and did 200 miles yesterday, and a few weeks ago a 400 mile day. Had I known I was going out for 9 hours I would have put the stock seat on. but the day wasn't bad and I worked/walked fine the next day

Yes, it's funny how people just don't listen. (Not necessarily suggesting that's the case here, mind!) I got the silhouette which is a bit more forgiving. But if I'm riding for more than about 8 hours in a day, I'll use an airhawk cushion.
