Default Question about the stock seat

Is the stock seat considered to be a ultra touring seat or a sport touring seat?

I believe your seat and the seat on a Ulttra Classic are the same. Any seat that fit a Ultra will fit your TG...hope that answers your question.

It is considered a full touring seat. Not a sport type at all. But there are so many shapes & padding options for the touring class it is unreal! A person needs to try as many seats under them as possible.
Also many have found an air pad or a sheep skin makes all the difference on a stock seat.

When I bought my TG, made the dealer through in a Road Zeppelin seat. Best thing I ever done! Very comfortable on long rides, only need to add a sheepskin for our SE GA summers...

I'm using a Mustang Sport Touring seat and love it. Passenger is comfy also. Great improvement over stock.

I must have a very adaptive butt, the stock seat on my old Tri felt just fine, rode all over the south-west on it. The skinnier seat on the new Free feels just as good although it is 2 or 3 inches thinner. Biggie for me is the backrest.

Tri-Glide comes with a Touring Seat.



I think I have the opposite (of a very adaptive butt).

Except for my Heritage, I have never had a seat from HD that was comfortable.

Instead of re-working them, like I used to, or buying a new seat...the last few bikes I have been using an Airhawk and the results are better than a customized seat....at least for my butt.

Same here on the backrest...makes all the difference.

I also use a sheepskin...warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
