Night Train seat help needed
I'm a new Harley owner, and new to the forum, so I need a little help.
I've recently picked up a 2006 Harley Night Train with the Badlander seat. While this seat looks very cool, it is not the most comfortable on longer rides for me, or my girlfriend. I've found 3 different seats that sound, and look good, but I need help deciding which would be the best purchase.
I'm looking to retain the look similar to the Badlander, but gain more comfort for rider & passenger as I do alot of 2 up riding.
Which of these 3 would be my best investment?
1) Danny Gray Weekday 2-Up
2) Saddlemen Profiler
3) Mustang One-Piece DayTripper
Thanks for the help!

I went with a Brawler solo with gel insert and got the OL the detachable pillion. The solo keeps the clean look while not riding 2 up and the pillion has decent padding for the OL but I may get get put into that one also.

Just getting ready to order a C&C Squareback. Keeps the look of the Badlander and is supposed to be way more comfortable. I can't decide on the gel....I keep hearing that the C&C seats are comfortable enough without, and that the gel holds heat for so long that they get uncomfortable to ride in the summertime.

NO NT, but seat experience. the HD sundowner is the best for long hauls, I also have a corbin gunfighter with DR back rest. its better than stock for day trips. check ebay for good deals on seats...

Mustang DayTripper but I would also look at the Squareback for good back support and passenger comfort.

It's funny, I think the Sundowner is great for long rides. My daughter loves it too, but "the boss" doesn't. She actually prefers the shape of the Badlander, she just wishes it had more padding.
