2011 Streetglide seat that much better?
#11
+1 best seat I have ever had on a bike, from a comfort standpoint don't think much can be done to improve, very nice stock, gonna have the cover redone, maybe add gel but it's not a must can ride for hours now no problem.

Porkchop! Damn son......I was beginning to think you were gone for good!
I guess I just got the itch for a leather saddle.....and an opportunity to scoot my butt back a couple inches.
Comfort wise, my stock seat is perfect. I just wanted to try to make my PERSONAL seating position even better!
I feel like I'm damn near on top of the tank...I want to be behind it.
As I stated earlier, my stock seat sold INSTANTLY!

FWIW...leather seats are the best and DEFINITELY worth it! I had a leather solo on my Dyna...and can't wait for my leather and flamed king cobra LePera to arrive!
If you recover your seat, make sure the SEATING area is leather....sides in vinyl is fine, but the seating area is much softer and comfortable in the "real deal" cattle hide.
Oh...Buffalo hide....my chaps are buffalo hide...and I love 'em!

look at the posts above, there was at least one guy I know of who wanted a stock SG seat after I sold mine.
Anybody with the "crappy" 2009-2010 seats will be interested. The 2011 stock seat is MUCHO improved from what I understand.

The 2010 CVO seat is just what I needed. Lowered me just enough to get my feet flat without having to lower the suspesion. The extra little lower support coupled wiith the rider backrest I put on should be a welcome change for this tired old back of mine. D&D Fat Cat with ghost pipe came in. Going to get them on, get it on the Dyno & can't wait for the weather to break (hopefully later this week) so I can get her out and run her a bit.
