Default Seat.....

Before I spend 500.00 for a new seat, can you softail riders tell me the most comfortable seat for an '03 FLSTC? I made my 1st ride over the weekend and boy did it hurt my a**. I need a two up seat and was looking at the 51922-09...Is this the best for the money..I'm getting old and need some padding! Thanks for your advice!!

For me, the stock FLSTC seat is very comfortable. It looks like there's a custom seat on your bike, not original perhaps. You can pick stock FLSTC seats up on eBay inexpensively. It would match the studs on your saddlebags. Just my 2 cents.

Ultimate seats out of Daytona will be my next seat but I also think the stock one isn't that bad. Will buy the Ultimate when I win the lotto eventually

Have to call BS on that! That is. A 13.5hr day averaging 60MPH. Not saying u have not done that but on a bike considering how often a gas fill up is required it might happen very few times

The stock seat on our Heritage is best seat for comfort of all the seats I've had on any bike.

U should be able to pick up a used one fairly easy.

You get what u pay for and I love my Corbin seat. Have the two up , heated seat. I always get complements on it and the heat really saves u this time of year at night. I ride all year round with my girl and she loves it also... Check out corbin.com .
