Default What a difference a seat makes!

I got my Danny Gray seat on Mon. and man what a difference.The fit was perfect and it really gives some good back support. This seat is awesome!!!!!!! I like the way it looks too.[sm=bounceybounce.gif]

Looks good! Yes, the stock seat is nice looking but not so nice after about two hours on the road. Ater about 4-6 hours you can't hardly stand up when you stop. You would think that for the prem pricing that we all paid that the MotorCo would put on a prem seat.

Nope.. the oem seats are the cheapest things on these bikes.. They should hit the ground about as fast as the stock exhaust typically does on new bikes. Nice seat, that danny gray.. Looks like a pretty comfy seat for a low-profile chopper-bar-hopper type.

For me it's much more comfy, the original seat wast too fat, this one is also alot more firm and I like that feel. I don't do super long mile trips so it's perfect for me. My sig pic is a picture of my bike with the Heritage seat that I had put on it but it just wsan't very comfortable so it had to go. I like the profiled look alot better also.

Nice!

Like me, I see that you are taking your time selecting grips and pegs.
