Default 2013 HD Spring Seat

I just saw the new bikes and parts for 2013. Just wondering what you guys think of this seat? I don't think it'll be the comfortable but I think it's aesthetically pleasing.

Is it different than their previous spring seat?

I'm pretty sure its new, unless I've just never seen it before. It has diamond stitching and also comes in white as well.

That does sound new, they had a leather two tone piece before.

I like it but I'd like to see the size. Their previous seat was kind of big. Led Sled and Rich Phillips have some really nice seats.

Thanks for putting the link up.
That does look nice, I like it a lot. I'd probably like it better installed without the springs and just with the rubber stops to put it down even lower.

I don't like it. It looks like the angle is to far back. I mean that it looks like your butt would be sitting on an incline. Not too comfy on the boys. Plus...from the picture it doesn't look like there's any room for the spring to actually function.

It's leather. Try pricing a leather spring seat with the cover plate and you'll see it's actually in line with the pricing of others.

But yeah, I agree with you.
