I got one with my '85 Ironman. The leather was coming undone, so I ordered a new Turbo to replace it. This was while I was rebuilding the bike. When that was finished, I took it for a ride, using the old Turbo. Turns out The Badger and I aren't built alike and his namesake saddle ain't for me. I'll keep the original in case I sell the bike to an originality bug, and eventually I'll probably get around to selling the new one.
Or maybe when I croak, my heirs will sell it and all the other uncomfortable saddles along with all the other stuff I've "collected"!
