This is what I put on my 06 FLSTI. The Russell day long is by far the best comfort seat I found. Give them a look here is the website link.

They do have a waiting list so get your order in early.

I also used the day long seat from Russel. Awesom seat. I have 3 seats for my heritage, and this one you can ride across country with. I had it done in vinyl that looks like leather with a skull embroidered on it and also on passenger seat.

You could also just get a Pro Pad to fit your stock seat if you like that style. http://www.thepropad.com/c-8-cycle-t...seat-pads.aspx I'm gonna pick up two for my bike (one for driver and one for passenger).

Even those $100 bolt on backrest for the drivers seat made a 200%improvement for me.

Since you put it out there for all to see why don't you pitch me one of those Alligator jobs for my
Heritage and I'll give it a month or two trail run and if it's OK I'll pitch for you. [sm=bling.gif]
