the bars are fat mini apes off a Dyna Wide Glide. The risers are off the DWG too.

My seat looks exactly the same as stock... it just fits much better. If you hold it up next to a stocker, you can see the difference...

Basically, the stitching around the back is as far as the foam comes forward.

My camera died on a recent vacation, and I haven't replaced it yet. Sorry.

I had the stock seat reworked with gel and memory foam and reshaped to move me down and back.

I previously owned a Heritage Softail Classic and hated the studs so I wanted to keep the stock styling of the Deluxe but wanted a better fit with more comfort. Reworking was just the ticket. The seat looks like stock with the Deluxe styling and fits just right now.

Maybe they went out of business...not sure. Any custom seat maker should be able to do the job for you.

I have the hd sundowner seat, and it ain't real pretty. But it is real comfortable, and a big improvement over the stocker and pillion. My wife likes to ride with now, rather than complaining about the seat all the time. The sundowner is a large seat. Up & back ??? don't know. I bought it for 20% off list, so it ran about 260.

Try bare bones Lepera. Very low and sits you back between 2 and3 inches from stock.

I just put on a Heritage Springer Seat. Best thing I ever did. The Stock Deluxe Seat doesn't even come close. The HS Seat puts me further back and is not as bucketed as the stock Deluxe seat so the comfort is wayyyyy better.

We need to make this a Sticky because this Topic has been coming up a lot lately....

I really like taht and think it is a great idea. Do you know if the stock Deluxe rail on the back will fit on the Springer seat? Also, what year Springer seat is that...'02? Sweet bike. I just bought one and need some comfort.
