Other than the obvious difference in looks, does anyone know if the stock Low Rider seat is any different than a stock Superglide seat? I know the FXDL sits lower (obviously), but I think this is due to the lowered rear shocks rather than the seat. I don't do much 2-up riding and the stock seat on my FXD is brutal after a half hour or so. Would a stock FXDL seat sit any lower or feel any more comfortable?

Just thought I'd ask from anyone who has made the swap or may have a stock Low Rider seat on their bike and can let me know if it is more comfortable than the brick that my stock FXD seat becomes.

 

I believe the seats are different lenghths. I ordered a seat from c&c. The first one was mint but about an inch and a half to long. Then they made a new mold for the 05 superglide which i have and its awesome.

 

I have an 05 lowrider and I bought a superglide seat off ebay so the wife could have more cushion. I switch them on a regular basis and they both fit fine.

 

I've th HD pillow look and I love it. Have a chopperish look...

I seriously doubt it is more comfortable than what you have. I really like the looks of the seat, but I swapped out to a mustang solo...much more comfortable. If you are going to invest in another seat, I would spend on a Harley seat. Corbin also makes nice seats, but are more expensive. Mustang = slightly softer ride w/ good support and Corbin = well formed seat that is pretty hard that gives really good support.

 

DGlide04,

I replaced my stock seat with an 05 Superglide Sport seat and found was a bit narrow and stiff for long rides -- like sitting on a hot rail after about 150 miles. Maybe its my 53 year old butt. I then installed an 05 Low Rider seat and found it to be a bit wider in the seat (maybe an inch) and felt the seat position was slightly (1/2) to the rear of the Sport seat. It makes sense that a rider would want to sit a bit higher and forward on a Sport model with the mid controls. Check e-bay, I picked up the new Low Rider seat for $55.00.

How's that 95 inch kit working out? Check out my headlight.

I put the Sundowner on my 05 SuperGlide so the wife has a little more comfort. As far as I'm concened, I liked the stock seat better only because it sits a little lower than the sundowner.

 

I let my wife pickout out a seat to smooth things over
a little with buying the bike. She chose the Sundowner.
She likes it, I'm hoping it grows on me.
