It's so good I bought one for my Street Glide while we rode through Florida last month.

OP - you will get a million answers for the best seat there is, honestly, after so many miles it dont matter. I have a Mustang wide touring & its a great seat, my suspension is progressive RAP and even with these upgrades after 5-600 mile in a day the ol rear starts to feel it, I bought an Air Hawk & ill tell ya what - I switched out at fuel stops from PA to Texas using the Air Hawk and no Air Hawk (just the Mustang W/backrest) and did over 700 miles a day comfortably. BTW - 2015 Heritage

Seats are subjective and depending on the type of miles you do it might be worth a try? I did have an 02 RK with the sundowner seat & that was a very comfy seat - I didnt do big miles alot with that bike but 3-400 miles a day didnt cause pain.

^^^^Very true. My only suggestion and again, JMHO....I liked the basic shape and feel of the stock seat on my 19 Heritage. But I needed slightly more padding - especially with my tailbone injury a few years ago. I tried the Harley Hammoch seat a few months after my injury had healed and I was riding again. While it was more padded, it was not padded in the places I wanted and also lifted my short legs too high up near the tank. But that was free and easy to try. Note: I knew I didn't like it in the first few miles.

So, again, since I was ok with the overall feel of my seat I had mine redone with Mean City Cycles. Yes it was quite expensive, but most aftermarket seats will be upwards of $500-$600 anyway. More if you get custom stitching. But I have to tell you, my seat is now not a factor whatsoever. I have done 200 miles in a day and spent zero time thinking about the seat or how it feels. That's the idea right? I feel like I am floating on air. The custom stitching was a bonus
