Default Best seat for Heritage

Hello All,

Considering upgrading my seat on my 2021 Heritage 114, its not bad, but on long rides i dont think it would hold up. I have had the bike for a couple months.

Any ideas on the best seat for this bike, let me know!

I installed a Mustang Standard Touring Seat with a back rest. I’m happy with it.

I typically upgrade the seat(s) on all my Harleys, but I actually think the 2021 Heritage seat is quite comfy. I've done 250 miles on it with no discomfort.

I put an HD Sundowner Solo on my 2019 Deluxe. I think it's a lot more comfortable than the stock Heritage/Deluxe seat.

Me too. Better seat at a reasonable price

Almost 25k on my 2018 Heritage. The stock seat is fine. Lots of long days in the saddle, some over 500 miles.

I second this opinion. I have 12,000+ miles on my '20 Heritage 114. Last summer I took it on a weeklong road trip (riding solo). For me the stock seat is comfortable and holds up well. It's not like I'm in perfect shape either - low back issues and a hip replacement. My recommendation would be to give it a thorough test before paying for a replacement.

I spent less than $100 on a backrest and it made a big difference, with the stock seat.

If you end up wanting a Mustang Touring seat (with or without backrest) I have an extra one that I will sell cheap. I ended up with 2 bcz they were so hard to find. The extra one does not have the built-in Mustang backrest but I have a Hogwerkz backrest that goes with it. Both are like new with less than 150 miles on them.
