I've heard that the Nightster has an uncomfortable seat and I'm wondering who's changed theirs out. I'm looking for one that looks origional but won't kill my **** on longer trips. I've looked at this site http://www.ccseats.com/sportster2006.htm but not sure if the lo-pro would be too little padding, but I think it would look nice. If you've changed your seat out and like the one you have, please include pics and your thoughts on it. Thanks in advance.

 

I was wondering the same thing, I have searched the forum, but don't recall seeing a recommendation that will keep the original look, with the gap between the seat and the tank, perhaps I just missed it...so many posts

 

I changed out my factory unit for the HD leather Brawler seat. That's far more comfortable than the original. Looks good on the bike. This year I went to the Mustang solo seat so the Brawler seat is for sale. HD MSRP of $325 I want half of it back. That's a deal,

I love the brawler seat.

 

if i were you i'd spend that money on your suspension. i hated the stocker as well but when i upgraded the suspension to progressive 412's (heavy duty's) it was like night and day. plus. i liked the way the stocker sat you lower than any other aftermarket i've seen for it. i then went ahead and had the seat tooled professionally by a guy in NJ (rmhcustomleather.com).

 

1200Hz, does the Mustang you have retain the original look with the gap between the tank/seat ?

 

If you want the gap just order a seat that is for the larger tanks.

I left no gap but have a mustang fastback. I like the seat and the look a lot. No pics of it though.

 

The first thing I bought for my Sportster was a Mustang Seat. It looks a little Fat on there but I have 2 crushed discs and love my Mustang Seat. I rode from Nashville to Michigan 2 summers ago too. Maybe next I'll get a GEL seat cover to make it even more comfortable. I used my brother in law's gel gloves and they were sweet!!!

 

I just took the stock seat and shaved the foam back about two inches. It made it feel like a completely new seat, while keeping the stock look. No pain in my tailbone from a long ride, and I don't feel like i'm on top of the gas tank. Find a local seat guy and it shouldn't cost more then $150. Mine was more because I had a logo laser etched into the leather!

 

As others have said about the N, yes, you can maintain the gap between the seat and the tank by using a seat that would normally butt up tight against the larger 4.x gallon tank. Smaller tank yields a gap.
