Default 24 Street Glide Seat options

Picked up a new FLHX yesterday. On an hour ride home I think the stock seat was good, but I’m not sure I’d want to ride it much longer at a stretch. I usually get a mustang seat as my first Harley upgrade but this is my first SG and I’m wanting to see if anyone has other suggestions. Anyone have a Saddlemen or other seat with good back support?

Thanks!

I have the step up seat from Saddlemen on my RG. So far so good. I'll get a photo on here this afternoon.

Congrats on the scoot. I took out a new bagger and i thought the stock seat was actually really good.

after 5500 miles consisting of several 3-400 mile ride days, I am keeping my stock seat .. much better than the one on my 2020 RGS ..might want to ride for awhile before deciding.. can always get it modified for less than a new one and one less thing to add to the ever growing OEM take off pile we all have

Might give the Air hawk pad a try. Have the choice of using it or not, I use on longer rides and leave it in the saddle bag on shorter trips.

Just little air in it is all you need .
