Maybe someone can help me out here. I got a 05 RK custom. I think the seat was made for looks rather than comfort. I don't mind it too much but my wife seems to take a real beating on the back. We have a lot of fairly rough roads around here. What is the most comfortable 2-up seat out there? I was thinking about going with the sundowner touring seat but wanted to check with the experts on the forum before asking the "experts" at the stealership. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I have a RKC seat I am selling, not because it is not comfy, but I switched to a solo and now I am going to add a pillion on the back. The only problem it's hard to find looks and comfort both. I was going to recomend the stock HD solo seat pillion combo. Nice for me, I am sure the woamn will like it too and I can switch to a solo at anytime!

I (and my wife and kids) rode on several seats until we finally settled on the Mustang solo with rider backrest and passenger pillion. The seat Creep pictured will not fit your FLHRS, the tongue on the front is made for a classic, they have different consoles on them. Unfortunately the only way to tell seat comfort is buy one and ride it. I found that the ones I did not want were easily sold on eBay without loosing any money invested. Below is my Mustang and I also have a C&C solo. They are great seats also, I would encourage you to check them out.

I also have a '05 rk custom. Our bikes are one of those, "will fit every road king ever made...EXCEPT the road king custom", LOL. Before you go and shell money out for a new seat, if you like the looks of the stocker (I do), talk to Allen (BadX) with www.meancitycycles.com . He is a forum member and can rework your stock seat to make it more comfy for you and the wife. And, it should be cheaper than a new seat. A lot of guys have had seats reworked by him, and they are very happy...

 

The problem with the FLHRS stock passenger seat is that it is too narrow for well developed full grown women. I may be wrong about thatbut that is what it looks like to me.My wife liked the Corbin Dual Tourer on my softail and I am thinking about a future purchase of a Corbin Classic Solo and passenger Touring pillion.

 

I love the Corbin Dual Tour seat.
After a 1000 mile break in it's awesome.

Allen at Meancity does a great job! I had him work his magic on a Sundowner over the winter and it is amazing!!!!!

 

Just get the Sundowner out of the Harley catalog. That is what I have on my Road King Custom. It is remarkably more comfortable for both me and a passenger. And, it is much cheaper than a Mustang or Corbin seat.

 

CHECK the classifieds here...There are a few for sale...Sundowners!!!! Around $200.00 BUY FROM A MEMBER!!!

If you want as wide a seat as possible consider the Saddlemans Road Sofa. I currently use the Saddlemens Explorer II gel seat with the riders backrest.
