Default Heritage seat opinions

Ok so I posted something similar the other day and got no response so I will rephrase things. I have purchased a 07 Heritage seat on the bay and am going to put it on my Deluxe. Whats the opinions on the heritage seat. I have searched and seen some discussions but not much. Whats your opinion?

I have a new Heritage and after putting 1000 miles on the stock seat I have no plans of changing it. It's by far the most comfortable stock Harley seat I've ever had. That being said, everyone's *** is different so just because it fits me well doesn't mean it will work for you. Also, if the seat you bought has a lot of miles on it then it has already conformed to the *** of the previous owner.

The stock seat on My '09' Heritage is the best seat I've had on a motorcycle. No plans to change.

I agree. The heritage seat is very nice on the rear end.

I am excited to get it. I am replacing a mustang wide touring that is comfy but in my opinion butt ugly, just looks wide and flat. At the end of the day I want my bike to look as good as it feels.

I have a saddlemen tour classic and I took it on a 10 hr ride and I was pretty comfortable the whole time.
