Default Ultra seat on a Road Glide?

Has anyone done this? If not, what seat have you tried on your Road Glide that has improved the long range comfort as far as back support goes?

I have a factory HD Ultra seat on my '07 RG. I think its very comfortable, some say they don't like the factory seat. Remember with the factory seat, you can add the backrest. I use mine on long trips since I had lower back surgery.

I have been using the Comfort stitch ultra touring seat on my roadglide for the long trips with the riders backrest. Works well with the Untra tourpack and the O.L. loves it. When I'm not trippin' I run the badlander.

I have a brand new one I will sell you off of an 08' Ultra for a bill and a half. I tried it but didn't like it. I actually liked the stock RG seat better. I bought a RG seat and a Sundowner for my 09' SERG. The best thing I have found is the Airhawk. For long distance I put the Airhawk on top of the Sundowner. T.

Luv the stock Ultra seat I put on my '09 RG, put a set of grab rails under it too to strap my bag down.
Backrest....yes.
As with watercop, bought it mainly for the wife. Tourpak also.
I think the Ultra seat sat me up a little higher too, so consider that when buying the right windshield.
I went with a Clearview +1.5 (medium)
Sold the stock RG seat on ebay for $150

Mustang one piece smooth ultra touring seat is the one I have. It has split in the seat so that it can be used with the HD adjustable driver backrest.

I had this combo on my Ultra and now I have it on my RG.

Default Ultra seat on a R/G.....hell yeah !!!!!!

'08 Ultra seat sent away to MCC to be modified to the
contours and lumps of my particular ***.
Totally digging the way it buckets my *** and doesn't
interfere with jimmy and the twins playroom......

RoadSofa by Saddleman. With one of their integral backrests, it's comfortable & supportive, hour after hour after hour.
