New Seat Search...
I am looking for recommendations for a two up comfortable FXDC seat.
Presently considering the Mustang Original Vintage Seat Harley Davidson Dyna 75639.
Personally I have only used Corbin seats in the past on sport bikes.
I do not want to sit any lower than the stock seat, higher would be good with me and further back.
I tried a seat that came off of a Switchback but it did not look right to me. Fit was a little loose and it looked gawdy out of place on the FXDC IMO.
Please give me some input though. I may just end up taking my stock seat to an upholstry shop for modifications if they can or will do it.

Mean City Cycles the Way To Go
I have a 2013 FXDC. I liked the look of the stock seat but, as you know, it lacks in comfort. I went to Mean City Cycles (meancitycycles.com). Check the website and give a call. They will ask you pertinent questions and will recommend a solution. It will entail taking your seat apart and adding memory foam and/or gel packs. They can also cut a tail bone relief channel (a MUST) and move your riding position front, back, up or down if you want. They will also give you a firm date to have the seat to them. They will do the work on that day and ship it back to you the same day. Oh, by the way, it is ridiculously inexpensive. Check the site and give a call. Nothing to lose.
Enjoy the bike, btw. I love mine.

I ****ing LOVE my Saddlemen Road Sofa! The seat is made for lower back relief. I can't tell any difference in height over stock, but because of the back support, it is a little forward. That worked much to my benefit, but I have forwards.
I may want to get it covered in leather, sometime in the future, but for now, it is an answer to a very sore problem.

Thanks guys, all good advice and I appreciate it. Maybe others besides myself can learn something from this. It is very hard to get the correct seat for individual comfort and taste. Always nice to have a friend with one like you want!
