Have any of you Springer Classic owners ever changed out your stock seat? I'm having a ton of issues with my "hard to accessorize" FLSTSCi. I'm 6'4 and am extremely uncomfortable on my bike. I'm thinking of putting a LePera COBRA or KING COBRA on it (Christine LePera emailed me back and said it will fit just fine). Anyone else have a LePera?? Mustang? Corbin??

Let me know guys.

Have you though about egine guards & HWY pegs? The stock seat is super comfortable for me, (im 6 ft ) i dont knowhow much more room a seat will give you

 

My bike looks alot like yours. I have the guards (black) and the highway pegs. I don't know what the problem is. I just don't like the passenger pillion pegging me in the tailbone. I was thinking about a tallboy seat because it's one piece and somewhat streamlined but they don't make it for my bike.

thanks for the input -

Do you have a passenger? its one screw to take the passenger pillon off, Looks Bad *** too!

 

yep. I have a passenger -
Plus I screwed up the clearcoat under the passenger pillion by pulling off the sticker ... YES, I'M A DUMBASS !!!!

 

yeah i did that too! Also a dumbass!

 

You might be able to buff out the clearcoat. Then, use a piece of thin foam rubber under the passenger seat when you have it on.

I also have a 2005 Springer Classic. I tried a Mustang Solo and a Saddleman Renegade II. Didn't care for the quality of the Saddleman and the Mustang moved me too far forward. A member from this site suggested a '01 Heritage Springer seat. I put this seat on my bike about 3,000 miles ago. I am very pleased with it. I have the low backrest pad on mine, it is also available with a higher backrest pad. The seat can be seen in the H-D '07 catalog on page 274, items G & H. The seat itself is not in the catalog, I had to order mine from the dealer. I paid around $485 for the seat with the chrome rail and low backrest pad. I went from having to stop every 50 miles to riding a 550 mile day with no discomfort. This seat has worked out very well for my bike.

 

Do you have a picture of your bike with that seat on it? I have been considering the heritage Springer seat. I love the seat rail and the overall look. I have no problem going 200-300 miles a day with the stock seat, I've even put 500 miles in on one trip to Arkansas, but I would like to make the switch.

Thanks!

 

Storm-

I'll try to upload a picture, this is a first for me so hopefully it will work......
