The sportster seat is a SLIGHT improvement over stock, for the rider at least. The passenger accomodations are spartan at best. My wife will not ride pillion on a bike with the sportster seat. Theres no width and no padding....
For the money, you're better off fitting an aftermarket seat such as a corbin or mustang. I have seen a a couple where owners ordered seats for the VL800/Volusia and fitted them to the savage. They spent over $300.00 to do it, but MAN are they comfortable!
The last option is to have the seat professionally reupholstered. Thats what I did and I'm thrilled with the results... Some memory foam, saddle gel and reshaped stock foam make a world of difference.
As my grandpa used to tell me when I was a kid, "boy there are 2 ways to do things. The cheap a$$ way and the right way. Don't ever let me catch you cheaping out.."
