the Stock Heritage seat is the most comfortable seat I've ever rode on and I've had two custom seats made to fit me. Also I got the wife the bigger touring pillion seat and oversize pad for her comfort..

Might try sitting on them. cause I think they'll fit your Lux..

I just purchased a saddlemen explorer seat on ebay but it pushed me up and forward, not what I was looking for at my size. It had great back support for me and very large cushion for the passenger. If your not a real big person I think it would have worked really well. I turned around and sold it on ebay for what I paid. I've heard the sundowners are really nice too. I went back to the stock heritage seat which is like sitting on a huge pillow, very comfy but no back support. I bought a grasshopper driver's backrest and will likely buy a touring pilon from Harley for the passengers section. I've heard the heritage springer seat is even better.

I've got the Harley Signature Series seat with driver's backrest.

I love the seat, however it does lower me about an inch and push me forward about an inch. However at 5' 8" both pushes work for me.
