Loving this bike!
Bought a new 2019 Ultra Limited 3 days ago. Was not planning on buying a new one anytime soon, but the dealer caught me in a moment of weakness while I was in there buying some gloves, and went all Godfather on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
Had S&S MK45s, SE air cleaner, and SE tuner installed yesterday. Love the sound of those pipes. They’re deep and throaty, but not loud and obnoxious. I can still hear the radio at highway speeds. Went a little crazy on my last bike, a 2014 SGS. Full Dragula exhaust, TTS, Arlen Ness air cleaner, $1,500 amp/speaker. Done with those days. I travel a lot and I’m just looking for a warranty compliant ride that’s clean and simple. Bought the 7 year ESP and wheel & tire package at delivery too.
This thing has has so much more power stock than my 103” did de-catted and tuned. Truly happy.

Went by the dealer to check the status of my bike after the recall service. Still waiting on Harley to send the new ignition key switch and learned they found the clutch master cylinder gasket was bad went they were bleeding the clutch. Replaced with new one. Glad they found that since it could have eventually screwed up my paint if it ever started leaking. Said it would not seal properly after they reinstalled it.

New Mustang Seat Delux Heated Touring #79007
I searched all over for a pic of this seat on a touring bike other than trike or Ultra, but no luck.
I'm usually buying more streamlined seats. Bought a take off Ultra stock seat before riding to Texas and D.C. but hated it and took it off before leaving.
Sold my Street Bob, Breakout and Shovel, so maybe I'm just getting older. Down to one bike my 18' Road King Special.
After weeks of consideration I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Mustang Deluxe Heated Touring Seat knowing it was going to be wider and thicker (at least on the pillion then oem and I would have to adjust to it.
Gotta' say it's comfortable and extra lumbar support which I need after getting 3 lumbar vertbraes crushed in mid 80's from a caged old woman that ran me down in mid 80's,
The seat id 19" wide but actually is about same width as my hips when seated. I was suprised because I'm 6' 2" and 220 lbs and slim.Girlfriend loves the passenger seat but her opinion doesnt really matter.
I already had the adapter accessory harness installed so it was 1 screw to hold the seat den and plug & play for the heat. The Deluxe heated runs about $791.
A pit pricey but my a$$ is worth it. HAs front & rear hi/lo heat settings. It did sit me back about 1 1/2 " and maybe 1/2" higher, but seat will break in some as foam compresses so will probably be about 1" lower than oem. I don't like lower than oem seats because they put all the stress on hips when holding the bike up instead of my legs. Over all, I give it a 9. Comfortable, well manufactured, and looks good. I just need to quit thinking thinner, narrow seats are going really be more comfortable than a decent touring seat after about 42 years of riding. Except on a rigid.
Thought pics may help someone else thinking about it decide.
