Default 05 Wide Glide with new seat...

Well, I had decided it was time to get rid of the stock seat on my WG, to me it was too wide in the seat and actually uncomfortable. I went with the Gunslinger seat with the memory foam from www.harleyseats.com and I must say, it is a real nice seat! It is not as thick as the original which puts my feet closer to the ground, not as wide, and real comfortable. I had blue stitching done with flames on the rear. I don't seem to get as tired in the butt area now as I did with the original. Was worth the wait...

Thanks...the seat really makes you feel like a part of the bike. I look to some long rides on it to see how the seat does. Riding 40 miles to work non stop is the longest so far and it feels OK...

Thanks Jamie...Like that WG you got too!


Todd, Bar Enterprises makes the seat, individually made to what design you want, what material, what stitching, etc. They have done seats with just about whatever design that can be stitched. It is ten times better than the stock seat in my opinion, the seat lets you mold right into the bike and the road...The memory foam really helps!
