Seats are as subjective as pizza. I wish I knew then what I know now.... My experience has been to keep the stock seat. The rabbit hole you'll leap into by going aftermarket on seats will stagger you beyond belief.

Probably true, I bought the bike with an aftermarket seat, then we both wanted heated....I did find a stock HD heated seat brand new for $100 less but I figured the aftermarket one had to be better..

I am just reading this thread and looking at the Saddlemen RoadSofa-CF (808-07B-186BR) on their website. It's been a couple of years since any of you have posted on your experience with these seats. After getting some riding in, are you all still using the Saddlemen seat? Or have you moved on to something else? Was the purchase price worth it? For me here in Canada, I am looking at nearly $1300 for the seat, so I'd like to make as informed of a decision as possible.
Thanks to anyone who replies with their experience.
