Question RK Riders...best seat upgrade?

I am not happy with the seating position on my RK...what replacement seats offer more comfort and lower the rider somewhat?

Thanks all...

Dex

About as many opinions here as oil and cams.... lol.

I tried a sundowner first and it was better than stock, but still just ok. I finally decided to spend the money on a good seat and got a Corbin dual tour. Stiff as hell, but it really is comfortable on the long haul. It has a narrower nose and allows you to put your feet on the ground better. It fits the bike really well and is just an all around great seat for me. YMMV of course....

I have a '10 Road King FLHR and replaced the seat with a Mustang Vintage Solo. I'm 6'3" and it's very comfortable to me. It cost $300.

I'd check out Mustang seats as part of your search.

Good Luck.

I have a Mustang seat on one of my baggers. There is no comparison between it and the stock seat. We can get you a great deal on one too. Shoot us a PM.

Had a Mustang solo, but I wanted to be further back and down. Bought a Corbin and it's a perfect fit. A little firmer than the Mustang, but still very comfortable, and better looking.
