Default Badlander Seat VS Stock Seat

Anybody have the Badlander seat on their Sporty Custom. Can you tell me if there is much deference between the Badlander and stock seat other than just looks.

I had a badlander seat on my Sportster, most uncomfortable seat there is, couldn't ride 30 miles before my butt was killing me. Ended up putting the stock seat back on.

I got a badlands seat and like it. Before I got forward controls I couldn't stand the stock seat cause I was too cramped. The badlands seat allowed me to sit a couple inches further back. The passenger doesn't have alot of cushion, but then again I don't have a bike to chauffeur others.

Thanks for replying tjbindel, I wouldn't mind being back about another 2 inches from my forwards. I'm going to check a couple dealers in the area and see if they have one I could try first.

This is what a Badlander seat looks like Bruce
