Gunfighter and Lady for 05 Fat Boy

I'm looking for a replacement seat for my 05 Annv Fat Boy. It came with a Badlander type seat and I'm pretty happy with it , a little uncomfortable for rides longer than 100 mile with out a rest stop, but I like the position that it puts me in on the bike. Biggest complaint is from the wife not confortable for the passenger.

I tried a Softail Standard seat that I bought off E Bay (cheap) and it is better for the passenger , but for my position it moves me forward and up, I don't like it so I will put it back up for sale .

Have looked around and it seems that the Corbin Gunfighter and Lady will be a good compromise, looks similar to the Badlander but with more paggenger comfort.

I'm 6'2" with 36" inseams , anyone out there have this seat? How is it for taller riders ?

Thanks,

Xaran

Lady gunfighter

I am 6'4 and my wife is 5'10...I also have the '05 ann fatboy...the stock seat was at best a 30 minute seat for me.

I put on a Lady Gunfighter and can now ride as long as I want...it drops me back and down 1", so I am much more comfortable. I don't like the look of the passenger seat (It sits too high), but my wife says it is comfortable. For shits and grins, I put on the stock seat for some bar hopping and was reminded about how uncomfortable that thing really is.

I also bought the backrest. It can be moved from the passenger seat to behind the driver...I am tall enough that I can reach the handlebars while leaning back...most of my friends that have tried it, can't (None of them are over 6'0).

So, I guess that I am saying, it is well worth it...but, I will be buying the regular gunfighter for when I am riding solo for short trips...It just looks sleeker.
