Default 06 sportster 1200c

what would be the most comfortable seat I could purchase for this bike, looking thru harley cat. I see one called pillow-look touring seat #52109-04, anyone with any suggestions about this seat, or any other seat would be appreciated. The bike has a 4.5 gallon tank.

Had a Sundowner on my 04 883. Comfortable but the seat pan cracked after 6 months. Got a Mustang Vintage solo and it worked great. Guess it depends on if you want a two-up seat. I would go with the Mustang if you want a solo.

For one-up riding I chose the Daytona Sport, LT Series seat by Le Pera and like it very much.

I have a badlander and its not that comfortable but everybody I have talked to says the pillow top sundowner is the best, but it takes away from the look of the sportster. [:'(]

I have the HD Badlander (Leather) seat also. I use it for 2-up riding with a short sissy bar. It's a nice looking seat and well made but not what I'd call the most comfortable seat available. When riding solo on the Badlander I found myself sliding back and forth more than I like. I wanted more back support, especially when accelerating fast off the line. That's why I got the Daytona Sport seat by Le Pera. I love the Daytona Sport for solo riding which is 99% of the time.
