    Gday forumers, anyone out  there riding on a badlander seat? Im thinking of adding one to the low. What are they like? what about for the occasional ride with the missus, what are the comfort levels like?I really like the lines on the badlander I think it would suit my ride. Got any photos? Steve

    Hi there, love to hear a bit more info from others experiences. Will be waiting to see some pics. By the look of that first photo there looks to be a bit of padding there, my missus is only small, could i get away with a badlander? Well its down to the badlander and sidekick.Any other contenders?

    i have a Sundowner for my XLC. It is real comfy and the missus loves it. It doesnt look too flash - its a bit bulky, especially the pillion pad. But then again i didnt buy it for looks.

    hi there fellas, i ride on a badlander but after 3 years im upgrading to a sundowner, im sick of getting a numb arse after 30klms and the gf dont like it too much either she gets a sore arse after about 20 mins and she is only petite also, but its personal choice i spose i would like to be able to ride for more than 20 mins without getting a sore arse, so the sundowner is going to be my choice.  just my 2 cents

    I added a Badlander to my 883 early 2008 and I haven't looked back but for a pillion I wouldn't recommend it, they can become very painful for a pillion even on a short ride due to the hardness of the rear of the seat. But for looks they look schmick in my book and I find it an extremely comfortable seat as the rider.
