Default Heritage Seat
Looking for a more comfortable seat (can't spend to much)...So is the stock Heritage seat more comfortable than the stock Fatboy seat?? I see the stock seats going for good prices. My stock fatboy seat is uncomfortable and I feel like it pushes me to far forward. I know seat comfort can be subjective...feel like I am always sitting on the very back end of the stock fatty seat.

I thought I read a post that someone said they put a Heritage seat on there fatty and the comfort was way better. Do you think it pushes you forward?

No. I'm long legged and if any seat pushed me forward it would be uncomfortable as hell.

The stock Heritage seat is VERY comfortable.

Try to find someone with a Heritage the same year as yours and borrow the seat for a ride. Or look in the classifieds here and on ebay for a good used one.
