I've been looking at the Gunfighter and had a question about passenger comfort on the regular gunfighter with the bulbous pillion vs. the American Sport Bike version. The bulbous one looks like it has more padding (ie. more comfort). Any insight on this?

From what I've heard, the bulbous looking seat is actually less comfortable for the passanger. The shape makes the passanger feel like they are going to fly off the rear of the bike.
That is why I went with the other newer version. My girlfriend says its only a bit better, but the big difference is for the rider both solo and two up. After riding with the Corbin I couldn't believe that I rode with the stocker for so long. The bike is most uncomfortable for my girlfriend b/c of the high foot peg location.
But that bulb one, besides being ugly, is really meant as a solo seat.

I had the bulb one and my girl had no issues what so ever with it. She only felt like she would come off the back when i hit a bump. But i ended up swaping a firebolt tail on for more room for me and and more room when i have a passenger. Talk about a big differance. She is way happier now that she has a real seat, and honestly its alot better for me now too.
