I know that there are two different part numbers, 08 model ending with a 08A and '09 model with a 09A. The look the same but does anyone know if the dimensions or any part of the seat is actually different? I know that this might sound paranoid but after picking up my bike from the dealer for service- I could swear that they might have swapped my stock seat on me..it feels different..go figure..

Anyone know if there is a difference?

thanks

 

An '08 seat shouldn't fit on an '09 because the new frame changed. I don't have specific dimensions, but if your dealer 'did' change your seat out ... they'd have to put it back to original.

You might take a look at the bottom of the seat and see if the part number is stamped into the seat pan.

 

I think the main difference is the passenger strap that goes over the seat. The sundowner seat that I had on my 08 FLTR fits my 09 FLTR, but the passenger strap does not, so I do not use it. I can't imagine the FLHTCU will be any different. The difference is how the passenger strap bolts on to the frame since it is different frame from 08 to 09.

 

Ok..Thanks for the input. Both seats look the same..so I will check the seat pan and the strap...

 

08 seats fit on 09 models. I am running an 08 Road Glide seat on my 09 EGC. And all of the touring seats HD offer say 08 and later.

As far as the difference between the 08 and 09 Ultra seat I believe one big difference is in the seat pan. The pan is wider and raised more.
