I bought my seat kit off ebay. It says its for 2010 models but if you move your ecm it'll fit your bike too. There are kits to fit yours too but the frame cover has a large bulge to make room for the ecm and it looks funny to me.

I'm debating on the street glide, road king shocks. I like the strut look. But I do want a bit of a smoother ride. Does the spring seat take care of that with struts?

I think the sppring seat with struts is better than it was with lowering shocks and a hard mount seat.

I don't believe so IMHO.. the rigid ride is rough no matter what spring seat you use... but you'll get used to it... go for it!!
