King & Queen seat + my bike = I threw up in my mouth

In an attempt to make my Bonnie the most comfortable for my riding, I decided to go with the King & queen seat.

It was delivered today from MADSS and I put it on. I actually threw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw it installed. I sure hope my butt overrides my eyes after a few hundred miles, because this thing is uglier than heck.

As a note though, I'm a new MADSS fan. Prices are unbeatable and no sales tax and free shipping ended up saving me over 70 dollars on this seat compared to buying it from my local dealer. They're getting all my OEM accessory business from now on.

It's ugly but it's great for two-up riding. That's the only time I use mine.

I really don't think they look that bad - but in any case at least they are easy to change. I have heard a lot of people praise the comfort - I am thinking of getting a K + Q for longer distances, would love to hear a reply once you have tried it out.

K/Q Seat...

beautiful, well no..., but ride on it for 3-4 hours and you'll see the beauty within.

The title of your thread made me laugh out loud. Excellent!

Yeah, ugly but comfy, or so I've heard. I wouldn't mind having one for those "Ponderosa" rides. In fact, my next less-than-futile attempt at the Iron Butt ride, tentatively set for this summer, will require such a seat. Kepp it and use it when you need it. Your butt's not getting any younger. ;-)

Agreed

They are just too big for a bike that size, butt..... I bought a cafe solo, that I never put on, that is new in the box if anyone is interested. Not a MAS or a Hyde. Nice seat I just prefer the painted cowl. ~T~

K&Q + High Sissy Bar seems to be the top rig for two-up riding. Although I don't care for the look as much, I'm still planning on getting one for the rare occasion that I have someone riding pillion.
