What do you get when you cross a king and queen and a cobra? It sounds like a corny joke, but this Camel Back from Sully's customs is a stepped seat that combines some of the best features of both of those well-established seat types.
Your stock Sportster seat is polymer. Plastic pans can flex, especially when exposed to engine heat. When the pan flexes, the foam moves out from underneath you, leaving you with inadequate cushion. It may sound counterintuitive, but a firm pan is just the ticket for comfort.
This Camel Back seat is handmade in the USA. It's built upon a solid steel pan for that aforementioned comfort and for longevity. The seat is then amply padded with foam, covered, and carpeted. The carpet protects your bike and the carefully selected foam protects your derriere from the rigors of a long ride. The cover is hand-stitched in your choice of two great-looking, classic designs that look right at home on a traditional bike like the XL.
The Camel Back is a great option for pillions who want a comfortable perch, but don't necessarily need the support offered by a tall sissy bar. If your pillion prefers to ride leaned into you (rather than leaned to the rear) this seat should be on your radar. If you have handlebars that don't have lots of pullback and sweep on your Sporty, your body will be positioned well to make use of the Camel Back.
