What specifically is wrong with the stock seat? I have a RKC with a stock seat but it is my first Harley so I don't have anything to compare it to.........

There really is nothing "wrong" with the stock seat but there are others that have more cushion and have a deeper butt pad with more of a lower back support.

I just don't want to be moved back any futher then the stock one.

Oh by the way I like the RKC better than the standard RK

RE: RK vs RKC

I went with the RK standard myself. I had bikes with laced wheels and it was a PIA to clean them. I also liked the seat better on the standard than the classic. Last, I have a friend that had a RKC. They went out one night, and somone lifted his bags. he came out the leather bags were gone. I figured locks cant stop anybody. However, if they want the things, they will have to destroy them, so what good would it do. The cruise control, I figure I will buy it on my own eventually and install it.

RE: RK vs RKC

I prefer the hard bags. They lock and if (or when) you decide to do a custom paint job, the hard bags look great with some flames or pinstripes. Also, the 2 piece seat on the standard is a plus. You can take off the pillion and the windshield and have a totally different looking bike. Also, the mag type wheels are easier to keep clean than the spokes. Can barely see them anyway. JMHO
