Default down and back seat

After riding home from Sturgis back to Washington I realized how uncomfortable the stock seat is for prolonged riding after it took me 18hrs on what should have been a 14hr ride. Has anyone found a seat that sits you down and back compared to the stock seating position?

I'm partial to Mustang Seats, currently running a Mustang Deluxe Super Touring Solo on my 2025 SG Ultra.

But where does it sit you compared to the stock position?

It definitely sits me a bit further back then the OEM seat, hard to say if it sits me any lower.

Cool thanks. That's probably the more important aspect for me over the seat height. Appreciate it.

I have a Lepera Outcast in the daddy long legs version that sits lower than stock and 2 inches back. Also has the removable back rest that helps on longer rides

I was looking at Revzilla, did you two the 1pc 2-up seat or buy them separately? They seem to only sell the driver seat with the backrest

I bought the driver seat w/backrest, then put the RPM rewards towards the purchase of the passenger seat.

Gotcha Thanks, I was hoping to find it without the backrest. Much appreciated.

I have the Super Touring 2up on my 07 Street Glide, very firm, doesn't losen up quickly, put probably 1000 miles over the season, wife likes it.


The Harley Davidson dealers out my way have Mustang seats to try on your bike before you buy them. Also Mustang regulates the prices, so no matter where you buy same price minus shipping.
