I am wondering if it is just me, or anyone else agrees. I ordered a HD Badlander seat off ebay because it looked like a really neat seat. When I got it, I was supper disappointed -thin, hard as a rock and very uncomfortable. Transmitted every little vibration, looked great, but very uncomfortable. Wasted my money.

 

I had a Badlander seat on my previous Sportster, it was the most uncomfortable seat I have ever been on, got rid of that one quick...

 

It does soften up with some use but I agree for me it's not the best seat but my +2 likes it so that is all that matters.

 

yea i have one...dont use it...its better than stock but not by a hair...and my fiance hated it. we went only on a couple of cruises with it...the longest of which i let her ride back on my buddies street glide....i feel your pain. paid a good amount of money for it.

 

thanks. I don't know what the seat is that is in the pics of my bike (came with bike). It's a single with a pad behind and it is very comfortable.

 

i have a badlander and do my commute and weekend rides on it
has about 1400 miles on it now plus what the PO put on it before i got it from
him.
it has softened up really nice as far as my butt is concerned but i also have a
harley reach seat that i got a great deal on and that is my distance seat
if were going to do a couple hundreds miles i will toss that on and my passengers
love that seat.

 

I've put about 10,000 miles on the bike sitting on a badlander, so no, I don't agree with you.

It is not the most padded seat in the world, on this we agree.

Wife has started to ride w/me sometimes and hates it, and when she does the original seat will go on, it only takes about 30 seconds to change them out so she'll be happy.

Badlander stays the rest of the time.

 

hahah i literally just got a call from the stealership that my badlander seat was in and i can pick it up hahahaha. Oh well i have heard ok things about it and it cant be worse than the stocker. Its also a hell of alot cheaper than any other seat ive seen out there.

 

no complaints with mine, I usually have to stop for fuel before I have to get off because of comfort issues

 

I am pretty sure that the stock seat on my 2009 1200C was a Badlander. I could live with it, but I rarely ride more than 100 miles in a day. For a passenger, it is a sick joke. I replaced it with a Sundowner, primarily for the sake of my wife. I don't care much for the looks of the Sundowner, but it is a much more comfortable seat.
