I'm just wondering about quality. Seems pricey but I really want a spring seat on my 19 Deluxe.

I went a different route and used the H-D spring seat kit with the H-D Deluxe solo seat. It was less $$$ than the MRC seat and kit and I like the old school look and comfort.

I installed a MRC seat last summer. Quality is great. The seat is al little firm for my liking; but I didn’t get the gel insert. I did have to grind notches where the cover hit on the fender struts.

I just sold mine. fantastic quality and workmanship. The hardware is top notch as well. Fantastic seat, but I decide to go for a different look.

The HD spring seat kit fits with a tiny manual adjustment of the side pieces (hand bend them about 10mm). This is my 2018 Deluxe.
