Default NEW Harley-Davidson Rallyrunner seat

I am still looking for a new 2 up seat to replace the stock fatbob seat. I want to have a low profile look but have comfort for the wife. Does anyone have any experience with the NEW Harley-Davidson Rallyrunner seat Manufacturer Part Number: 51369-06? Looks nice in the pics but would like some feedback. Thanks.

I have a Badlander, don't go there for comfort.I switch back to stock when the wife is going, I am curious about a comfortable,low profile seat also,I'll keep my ears open. Just found the Rallyrunner in my 2010 catalog, they are only for 06 and newr....guess she's gonna have to get some *** on her.

I looked on Harley's website for a picture of the Rallyrunner and couldn't find anything. Can you post a link or picture?

It looks like the C&C square back!! I think that would be the better route because I have yet to read a complaint about any C&C seat. Plus it cheaper then that HD seat and with the HDF discount it's even cheaper for IMO better quality and some badass seats. I have the C&C solo and it's sweet!! I'd look at the sport tour or the square back for you!!

I have the HD roadrunner on my bob. I actually switched to that from a C&C squareback so hopefully this helps.

Look-wise, I liked the C & C better. It has a slimmer profile and the lines flow with the bike better.

Driver comfort-wise, the C & C is superior. Not only is the riding position more relaxed, it gives better back support and I could ride all day with no discomfort. With the rallyrunner, you sit more on top of the bike, and my butt would be somewhat sore after a long ride.

Passenger comfort, however, is better on the rallyrunner. The passenger section of the C & C seat was too firm and the edges too sharp, resulting in lots of complaints. Not only is the passenger portion of the rallyrunner wider, its much more plush.

At the end of the day, everyone knows that if mama aint happy, no one is. In my book the rallyrunner wins for 2 up riding.

dont know if you can compaire the 2, but I have the rallyrunner for my street glide..

I think its very comfy and the gf. like the backseat way better then the stock one.

On the street glide the rallyrunner moved me down and back I really like that seating position.

See if you can find a dealer with the seat you want in stock. Then take it for a test ride. My local dealer offered to let me test ride the seats they have. I haven't taken them up on it yet but will soon as my GF does not like the pillion I bought for my Lepera Silhouette solo seat. She would rather ride the stock seat.
