Maybe a little OT, but useful info anyway regarding police style seats.

 

My brother has a 2012 Electra Glide Police Special with this exact seat. I took it out and I was amazed at the diff between that and the '16 Ultra set I picked up or the piece of crap that came on my '16 RG.

I'll be looking for one of those. Forget the rest.

 

I prefer the newer style spring over the air bladder, but you can’t beat the seat either way.

 

I have never rode one with that saddle on it but I did sit on one. I felt like I was really sitting up high. A couple of other questions come to mind now that I think of it-
1)- Will my riders back rest work with the police saddle?
2)- Does sitting up higher make a difference on how the bike handles or feels?

 

You need to mount the backrest to the solo seat so it moves with the seat.
Yes, it handles differently, you'll get used to it

 

You sit higher and I had no problem with cone patterns.

 

Sitting higher and more forward is a good thing for precision riding.

 

Hello,

I own a 2009 FLHRC.

My HD police solo seat is due today. My question is how does the front trunnion bolt to the frame along the the two tank ears and trim piece?

Are the pieces sandwiched this way?

trim
tank ear
trunnion
frame

or

trim
trunnion
tank ear
frame

or ...........?

If someone could attach a picture showing the front trunnion setup would be greatly appreciated!

(All the pictures I found have the plastic cover in place and I cannot see how the pieces are arranged, ie stacked, in the assembly!)

thank you, Mongo

 

The stack is this:

(Removed the trim piece and saved it,)

trunnion
tank ear
frame

You need a rubber grommet where the wiring goes through that rear fender before it wears through and shorts out.
