Default Harley lo-pro seats?

Anyone here using one of the low profile Harley seats on their EG? I like the looks of the Badlander, but if I'll be giving up a lot comfortwise (the stock is comfortable to me) I may change my mind about getting one...

I have the HD Leather Low Profile on my RKC. I like it. It is about the slimest seat that you can get and still use a rider's backrest. I've put tens of thousands of miles on mine with no real complaints. For one day trips of more than 300-400 miles, we use a sheepskin to sit on.

I have a badlander on my 06 Ultra, it looks fantastic when I remove the tourpack. The seat is a little stiffer than the stock "sofa" but I found on long distances to bevery comfortable, and no numb butt.

I have the H-D "Leather Low Profile" on mine and it's great. I like the look alot better especially with the tourpack off cuz the factory seat is so fat it looks wierd when the trunk is off the bike.

For me this seat is comfortable. I rode to Sturgis on it with no prob - 4600 miles in 12 days including a 15 hour day of 742 miles and had no probs.

However, the rear pad for a passenger is not comfortable - at least my wife and 14 yr old son both complain about it very quickly on all but the shortest of rides.

I have a stock Road Glide seat on my EG Standard and I am happy with it. I like the look and it's comfortable, even for the wife. I liked the price, too.

Just a thought.

I have custom touring seats from Mustang that go on when I tour or when the wife is coming out, but when riding solo, I ride with the HD Sidekick low-pro seat. Unlike the Badlander,this baby'sall leather, has great material in it, and keeps my a$$ from geting sore. I've ridden up to 12 hours on this seat with no issues at all, and it looks awesome.



Try clicking on the sponsor links to the right as well. C&C Seats make some awesome custom seats including a very nice lo-pro.
