Is anyone running a hd badlander seat on there flhx, and do you like it, does it lower the riding position, Im only 5'7" and I would like to get closer to the ground.

 

Most people here no that Badlander seats are very uncomfortable. No way would I want one on a Street Glide. I would go another route. My local guy is putting a jell inside mine. My stock seat was pretty comfy. Try Mustang maybe

 

Yes, the Badlander seat places you lower into the bike, however, it also will move you back a few inches as well. So, closer to the ground, farther from the bars...

 

I have one on my bike and it will lower you a little not much

I'm not stating it as a fact, but I heard somewhere on here that a Badlander is basically the same seat as the Sidekick, with vinyl instead of leather (and heard also that the Badlander is WAY uncomfortable, but not the Sidekick, go figure). I just installed a Sidekick on my eGlide, and I sit lower and further back, probably about two inches each. It's a completely different feel. Comfortable? So far, but I haven't got a lot of miles on it yet.

 

As far as comfort go with a sidekick instead of a badlander. Dont try and go touring with either.

 

Ain't that the truth! The Badlander looks cool, but I sure wouldn't tour on one.

 

thanks very much help
