I agree, this is truly a saddle! I've had a Harley in every family with the exception of a sportser and this is my all time favorite seat and Hog!!!

 

I concur with the above statements...there's no reason to switch out the stock seat. It has the looks and comfort.

 

On my Heritage, I never felt the need to change the stock seat. After four hours, I was ready for a break but it wasn't because of the seat...

 

We went from an '06 Sporty to the '12 Heritage and I can say the stock seat is definitely better then the Sporty seat, I had even changed out the Sporty seat to the Mustang seat and that only helpes a little.

The pillon seat front edge does act like a back rest and this helps on the ride.
We also installed the Shotgun Shock air suspension system and that really helped even more

 

I bought my 2011 Heritage June of last year knowing that I would be changing the seat. Always needed to with past Harleys. But after a couple rides I completely changed my mind. Love the new stock seat that they put on this bike!
