    Hey all, I'm out to get a low profile seat for my Springer.  The only experience I have with low profile seats is the HD Badlander.  Is there a more comfortable 2 up low profile seat I should consider?

    Cheers Rich

    Mate.
    I bought Danny Grey seat, for two.
    But, is not low profile.
    Although one of the most comfortable seats I have sat on, unfortunately not in.
    As, is a pump me up baby.
    But us of pricks need support.

    Looks real nice FC - but you must have missed the bit where he mentions "comfortable". Then again, 'low-profile' & 'comfortable' usually don't belong in the same sentence.
    Would you be a pillion on that after 10 minutes?

    It is not uncomfortable. Then again my main ride before the Harley was an early Guzzi le mans (famous for the brick seat).
    As for the pillion bit, the missus found this seat more comfortable than the stock seat the FXST came out with. She has her own bike anyway and seldom rides pillion which is fine by me.

    Thanks Fella's, I was more worried about my comfort not the pillions.  I'd throw the standard seat back on if riding two up. Far Canal the LePera King Cobra looks interesting.

    Rich, if you are worried by comfort you can order the seat with "biker gel" innards.
    Another plus with this seat is that after a few hours in the saddle you can use your legs to push backwards and get your arse on to the pillion seat. You might look a bit strange however it is a great way to stretch the legs.

    I got the Mustang single seat but also purchased the pillion seat that goes with it. Very comfortable with Gel inside the seat as well , the missus loves the pillion seat for comfort. They do 2 up seats as well

    Hey Rich & FC, I started off with low profile seats, from the stock seat went to Le Pera, then went Mustang & have never looked back, the pillion seat comes separate from the rider's. I find my rides are getting longer & longer as the years roll on, comfort/function has taken over from form! 
    The Mustang website is worth a look.

    Looks like we were both typing at the same time, anyway - I agree

    Thanks everyone.  I was on a slow nightshift last night and surfing good ol' eBay....  I found a new Badlander seat in the USA for half price as it was unboxed and on a bike in the show room, I could not help but jump at that deal.

    Cheers Rich
