I am looking for options on a seat to buy for when I remove my tour PAC. I currently have the stock EGC seat wich is too big on rhe back end to look sleek, and I have what I would consider as the very best seat, A road zeppelin. But it looks even bigger with the pack off.

So far I am looking for a used seat, and found 2 that I think will fit what I am looking for:

Stock road glide seat (but these have been selling on eBay for an average of $150)

And the badlander ( has no slot for drivers back rest) selling for an average of about the same)

What other options are available to suit the look I am going for. That I can find cheap.

 

DON'T get a Badlander! My brother bought one and rode home and right back to the dealer to return it. He said it was like riding on cardboard!

 

I'm going to have to disagree with the other guy. I just took my badlander off after nearly 2 years running it, and it's a great seat and I loved the feel of riding it. It does sit low, and farther back, but that was ideal for me.

I only replaced it when I finally coughed up the $500 for the LePera Daddy Long Legs seat (that has a larger back seat area for the passenger/wife). Arguably, I really liked the Badlander, but the LePera rides so comfy that even though I prefer the look of the Badlander, I haven't put it back on.

 

Hey we got the same bike. How do you like your new bars, mine feel to low and not wide enough for my liking.

Great minds think alike, LOL.

I like my new bars. they are wider then stock, and that is what took me a bit to ge used to. The height is good, but I do kind of wish I went with the 12's, but I didn't want to spend the cash for extended cable and brake lines. all in all I am happy with them.

 

With an '06 bike you will need to be careful because the dash lenghts where a lot different then between models.

 

Yeah, kinda sucks, the only other touring bikes with the short dash is the road glide, I thought about a street glide or road king seat, but they have the shorter dash, and I would have to put an extension on, but I want an easy on/off, because I will run the tour pak and zeppelin most of the time.

Any other idea?

 

+1 Badlander

 

Hotop makes a dash extender. I used one on my 04 egc when I took the tour pack off and used a seat from a rkc and it was dirt cheap looked great. harley also sells an extender but it does not look as good as the Hotop one.

 

+1 on the badlander, been running it on my Ultra for awhile now. I'm 6ft2 and able to move back without feeling like I'm getting jammed up by a backrest or such.

Works for me. Seats are a pain because unless your going to run a solo seat it gets into some money trying to find the right seat.
