Default Danny Gray Big Seat

I just purchased a DG Big Seat W/Rider backrest, XL passenger pillion and gel in both seats. I should have it on this weekend, can't wait! I'll post how it changes my riding position and comfort after I get it on and put 100 or so miles on it.

12" Progressive shocks in back, Progressive front end lowering kit and now my Big Seat. Slowly but surely I'm making my mods. Next is Carlini 12" Flying Apes!

I will have to look into it. How hard is it to put the passenger pad on? Does it have bumpers on the bottom to protect the rear fender??

Just a word of caution, I tried a Mustang full set for my 09 Ultra but had already put an Airwing luggage rack on and the front of the rack kept the back side of the passenger back pad from bolting up...........had to send it all back or get new TP lid.............kept the lid and took the stock seat to a local shop for padding and gel

Firedog -Tulsa OK
09 Ultra Classic Electra Glide 106/251 cams/SEPST/ V&H Power Duals & Monster Ovals/lots of bolt on

Big seat is comfy, had one on my SERG and could easily put 600 miles on it get off, drink beer and dance the rest of the night! You'll love it!

Oh Hells No.... but it sure looks cool on my bike!
For longer trips I use a stock 08 RG seat which is the best seat I've ever used. Narrow at the front, low, and enough cushion to actually absorb vibration and bumps and all.

Honestly the Big Seat is good enough for long rides but it's just not as comfortable. People forget that your seat is the second "comfort suspension" item on your bike. Put a hard seat on and it can get rough just relying on the shocks.
