Default How does the 08 Road Glide compare to the 07 and earlier??

The seat on my 07 Road Glide is by far one of the most comfortable stock seats I have ever rode on. Better than most aftermarket too. Are the 08 RG seats as nice as the 07 and earlier??? Are they as narrow at the nose??? Anyone had a chance to compare or traded an 07 or earlier model RG with the stock seat for an 08 RG??

And yes I know the 08 seat will not fit on an 07. I am asking for other reasons.

Hey dawg. Does the 08 RG seat on your Ultra give you better footing??? Have you ever sat on one of the earlier RG seats???

Is there anyone that can offer a comparison between the 08 and the 07 and earlier RG seats???

ORIGINAL: Monstermile
Does the 08 RG seat on your Ultra give you better footing??? Yes, much better.

Have you ever sat on one of the earlier RG seats??? Yes, my buddy's 05

Is there anyone that can offer a comparison between the 08 and the 07 and earlier RG seats??? They feel the same to me, but I don't have any time in either seat, only rode the 05 about 2 miles and haven't ridden mine yet.

only thing i can think of as far as fit goes is the 6 gal tank on the '08 vs. 5 gal on the '07s
