Sitting on a 2011 SG at the dealer and the seat seems to be a little more supportive and lower than the stock RK seat.

Appears to be a low cost item to try before sinking 5-600 into a Mustang setup......(where I may end up anyways because I love their products)

Just wondering how many RK owners have made this change?

 

Must be getting old! Did the opposite on my 09SG. Put on a stock RK seat for comfort! Can't speak for the new seats on the 11 s though.
Has anyone put the HD hammock seat on their SG?

 

I changed my stock 2010RK seat for a 2010SG seat - I also have a Sundowner
for long trips....

I use the SG seat for short haul under 200 miles or so - a bit on the hard side though

Sundowner for 250 and up - took a 500 mile one day trip on it - great seat for long haul -
a little bulky looking but very comfy

I use a riders backrest on both the seats

As for the stock seat - When I bought the bike I had a 35 mile ride home -
the worst seat I ever sat on..IMO - monkey butt after 25 miles - bought the Sundowner the next day.

FYI a SG has a lower suspension via lower shocks than an RK

 

I went the other way. I put a RK seat on my SG.

Shakey

 

I put a SG seat on my RK. The parts guy at the dealer had one that was taken off a new bike. They couldn't sell it as new, I bought it for $100.00. I'm very happy with it.

 

The 2011 SG/RG seat is more comfy, I know because I have one, but it's not a Mustang, of coarse its a whole lot cheaper, (under $200), and cheaper yet on eBay.

 

I have both the Sundowner and the SG seat. The SG seats look a lot better, but I wouldn't use it for more than an hour. The Sundowner is pretty comfortable and I can use my backreat. You need an adjustable backrest, or to put the fixed version in the forward position to use a backrest with the SG seat. I got a 2010 SG on the classifieds here for $135 delivered. There are always some on eBay for about the same price.

 

Hey, if you want a Mustang... I have Solo (almost new) with driver's backrest I will make you a deal on.... ($300.00)

It is a 79600 for Harley-Davidson® FLHT/FLTR/FLHX/FLHR 2008-2011 Vintage Solo with Driver Backrest, No Studs. Mustang’s built-in backrest offers more features than any other brand. Note: Will not fit with handrail.
Front Width: 15" Weight: 14 lbs Part Number: 79600 Retail Price: $499.00

 

I was concerned that the seat on my 2011 Roadglide wouldn't be as comfortable as the Mustang seat on my "other" bike.
I was pleasantly surprised, very comfortable so far.
I haven't gone on any day long rides yet, but I don't anticipate any problems.

 

Had the dealer switch the RKC to the SG seat the day I took delivery. Actually was part of the deal. Totally changed the ride height and comfort on the bike. Much more of riding in the bike rather than on it. A great switch that worked for my preferences.
