2014 Low Rider

If HD does offer a CVO LR at some point, I hope it has a better suspension with 2 inches more travel (front and rear), a working gas gauge and better placement of the ignition. It would not hurt if they also did something to the battery box cover.

I had to work is why I wasn't posting
As for the seat there are some good threads on seats. One of the threads I found a single guy had tried about 5 different seats on his bike. As for me the only seat I have tried besides the stock one was the Tallboy seat. It took away any butt pain I had, but it elevated me up into the windstream above the windscreen. I have gone back to the stock seat for now as it is so nice to have my head in a bubble of calm air. The stock seat looks so much better too. So far I have spent up to 5 hours in the seat in a single ride with each leg between an hour and two hours without any pain so my butt must have toughened up. If I do get some I may try one of those little gel pads before I try another seat.

Like reading a good book, sifting through the 217 pages of this thread will prove rewarding. I love the stock seat and bars. I would never change them. But many others have.

I have a Mustang Wide Solo and had one on my Sportster Iron before this. Great seats, very comfortable and I have done multiple hour trips without any discomfort. You can get the detachable pillion too which I also have.
Really need some help from y'all regarding an aftermarket seat? I have got to get something a lot more comfortable under me. I'm 6' 0" tall and the way the stock seat fits is not at all good for me. I'd like a seat which has more overall support area. Which would spread the pressure over a greater area of the butt & upper hip area. Seem like I'm riding more on my butt bones and lower back with the stock seat. I love the looks of the stock seat on the LR, but can't take the pain anymore.
Can anyone tell me what fits on the 2014 FXDL? I looked on the net but I'm really confused. One site said a seat will fit & another says it won't. Most of the sites have not really updated there information for our newer LR model. I'm interested in a Mustang or who ever else makes a more comfortable touring type seat, that won't break the bank.
I need more comfort.
Thanks in advance.

I did about 140 miles yesterday, but was rather curtailed by a tanker fire which happened on the only section of Motorway (Freeway) I was using and blocked the road for a bit. Spent quite a while sunbathing, chatting to other bikers and also to a Highway England officer who is looking to buy a Harley. No clues as to what I suggested.

NealE,
Looks like quite a back up on the Motorway. Hope nobody got hurt. I new it, you should have stayed on the A roads. Much more scenic and you can always find nice little place to eat & get a cup a tea. I've had Mustang seats on two other bikes I owned and liked them a lot. What is the Mustang Part # for the solo seat that fits the 2014 FXDL?

I rode 185 miles today here in northeast Florida with three of my friends. It only got up to 95 degrees F. not really to bad, as long as you keep moving. I had to ride my Spyder and give my butt a break from that LR seat. I've really been neglecting the Spyder for the last month since I bought the LR.
Hope everybody got to ride today.
Hope everybody got to ride today.
