Yeah, hard to know. The back support on this is good enough that you really don’t need the back rest - more pronounced and supportive than my current seat - but the back rest actually works great, so it’s good either way.

Yeah, my wife and I both love the cushioning on this seat - on the perfect spot on the spectrum between firm and soft.

Sorry about the link - no, it’s the one for 9-13. I’ll change the link when I get home later.

Have a few minutes - here's the link to the 9-13 seats: https://ultimateseats.ca/harley-davi...2011-2012-2013

FWIW, I researched this a bit before I bought it and there's apparently a small difference in the length of the pillion seat between the 9-13 seats and the 14+, but everyone who commented on the this found that they were basically identical and both seats worked on both eras. You might want to google around on it a bit and see for yourself.

Rather than speculate, perhaps a read of their web site will clarify the height and length questions. Appears the 09-13 have similar positioning as stock and the 14+ are the same height as stock BUT push the Rider back an inch and also give the Passenger an extra inch.

I don't believe that to be correct. Not per ultimate website and description from current seller and previous seller

Sorry to clutter your thread OP

No problem, thanks to everyone for the input. This is what makes seat-hunting so much fun…
