Unhappy 2013 CVO FLHTCUSE8 seat

I was wondering if any one finds the stock seat uncomfortable? I am lucky if I can ride it 1 hour before my butt is killing me!

Changed mine out for a Mustang at Sturgis. Didn't spring for the heated version. Also just picked up a solo Mustang for my quick release tourpak conversion.

For me, the two most uncomfortable things on this bike was the positioning of the floorboards and the stock handlebars.
I knew when I first sat on my bike that the handlebars had to go, and the first road trip that I took on it confirmed my suspicions.
I had the W.O.'s 577's installed and with the engine guard mounted highway foot pegs, the bike just "eats up the miles".

To me, regardless if it's a motorcycle seat or a car seat, after two hours, I need a break to stretch my legs and empty my bladder, and I really like the heated seat.

We're all made differently so a bit of "customizing" is to be expected.

I have one and I don't have any problem riding for at least two to three hours.... I have another seat (FLHX) that I put on when I remove the Tour Pak but this one is killing me after an hour.... same for the wife behind. The only problem with the original seat for me is that the heater stop working after riding in pooring rain and the MOCO change it Under warranty. The seat material is not watertight.

Anyone here have a fltrxse 12-13 or know anyone that does and took off their seat looking for the rear pillion part #52400024a that's the black with Grey stitching or diamond apologize for the jack but not intentionally done was reading how you all switch your seats and I posted in wtb with no results maybe someone here knows someone with one sitting someone stole mine and before I pull the trigger at dealer was looking for a nice used one. Thanks FYI I think your seats are comfortable as hell compared to mine but mine just looks cool lol

took mine to Ride&Leather in Jonesboro, Indiana, had gel put in and also, had it cupped so it fits me better.
$150.00 for both, better than purchasing a new seat!!
