Modifies the stock seat based on your size etc...

I havent done this but I have heard alot of people say good things about modification and service...worth a look.

I own the Nighty since November, in December i bought Badlander seat from HD so i could ride with passenger. The good thing about badlander is that it respects the gap between the seat and the tank, exactly like the original solo seat. I believe this gap is one of the details that gives the Nightster its raw look.

Anyway, i like much more the bike with the solo seat, so each time i mount back the solo, i realized that it is much more comfortable for me. It makes you seat much lower and the little rest on the back holds your butt in place when accelerating, avoiding to pull the bars to keep in position and making the ride much more easy.

Its true that it is a hard seat, but in my opinion compared with Badlander, riding position with the solo seat is much better. And the look of the bike is awesome considering its a stock seat!

About Badlander btw, i bought it because its very narrow and quiet flat in the passenger bit, but after the experience i found out that it looks flat because front seat is very high. I actually dont find it confortable, especially in sporty riding!

Anyone shares opinion about Badlander?!
