Heritage Softail® Classic Seat with Rider Backrest
Part #51562-00A
I'm one of the "oddballs" that actually likes my stock seat, fits my butt I suppose...however after about 1 1/2 hours I start getting a aching back...a kidney belt helps, but I thought Id' look into a seat with rider backrest also.
Stock seat kills my lower back. I've ordered the Mustang Wide Solo with Rider Backrest. Has yet to come in but I'm looking forward to riding with it soon.
I put the harley seat with backrest on my Heritage this year. Put 2000 miles on it and so far I love it. However I'm only 5'6" and bought the seat from someone over 6' tall. They claimed it moved them too far forward for comfort. I'm good with it though.
