I have tried one on my bike and i have to say it does not look much better than a stock 2-up seat and feel like you are sitting on a plank of wood. I ended up getted a used 2009 1200C seat for my bike as it looks just as good as the Badlander and feel alot better.

I do, and it looks great, but if you're riding more than 30 miles you should consider another seat. My $ .02

I had one on my previous Sportser, it was the most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat on, and like Ferminator said, more than 30 miles, hang it up...

I love my badlander seat for daily trips and local rides. But it definately is NOT a long range or touring seat. For that I purchased a sundowner (shown in sig pic) when I took a 700mi trip to TN. I ride daily on the Badlander and will only swap out on TRIPS

I only run mine while 2-up and to me it feels much coushier than the stock Nightster seat, which I happen to prefer over the Badlander. I figure if she ain't bitchin', I certainly shouldn't either.
