Hi the Sport Glide is my first HD, i'm coming from BMW and Ducati, btw still have the R1200RS at home so the riding position on the Sport Glide is new to me.
On all the previous bike I never had the need to change the seat and the OEM ones were just ok for me, but with the Sport Glide I have to stop every 45 minutes to relive the pain that I have on my coccyx, never happen to me before.
I'm 5,8 beside the pain in the @@ the riding position is fine for me but at this point I believe that I have to change seat, I do not like the HD one (Sundowner) and honestly i do not have idea which one of the other brands can help me; I was thinking on the Saddleman Explorer or the Mustang Wide Tripper or the Mustang Day-tripper, any one with experience of those seat?
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thks
Sergio
Congratulations on your new ride Sergio; I came from European Sport Touring bikes to the SG as well and currently having the same dilema, I am currently researching the HD Police seat, it's wider and taller than stock. Stay tuned....
Finally got the Mustang wide better than the stock on but not completely sold on it, gonna try the pull back riser...
funny things is that my friend street glide is at service so I gave him my R1200RS and we went for a 300 miles rides, for me with the mustang seat on Sport Glide was not that bad ...my friend was complaining how uncomfortable the stock RS seat is and for me is just perfect, so at the end same seat good for one but not good for others,
gonna report on the riser as soon the have them installed
Ok rode 800 miles, Mustang seat ok and wife happy with her (pillow seat also Mustang)
at the end no riser or pull back for me

Gustaffson 15” dark vented with vents & lower wind deflectors has been a good combo for me. The screen is barely tall enough as it comes to the bottom of my chin. I’m 6’4 with 36” inseam. They have several heights just pick one that comes to your chin according to Gustafsons.
The picture was prior to the lower wind deflectors that eliminate tank updraft. The yellow was a plastic candy bag as it was a kids toy run. Lol the box below the Streetslamer photo it says in error part does not fit Sport Glide but it fit no issues.

My 2020 Sport Glide with floor boards, 4" risers, Mustang Touring seat with backrest and 13.5" Fox shock is all day comfortable. By far the most comfortable bike I have owned.
I did the Bung King 1.75” shock extender which raised the rear about 1”. Is the fox shock taller? Agreed this is a great riding handling bike once your feet butt & bars combo is right. I rode mine Ohio to Sturgis and now have 21k on it.
I would like to find a demountable windshield for my 2021 SG. I haven't seen anything that I like... I want one that clips on to the fork tubes but gets out of the way of the turn signals. My only other choice for windy Utah is wearing my full face helmet which is ok on the interstate but is too dangerous for city driving in this crazy driver state.

I have a Memphis Shades Fats Drop Top that does just that.
