Custom or aftermarket seat for a Road King?
Thinking about changing my seat, currently have a sundowner, but thinking of getting something a little sleeker and lower.
Any suggestions? Please, post pics if you have them.

Custom seats are hard to re-sell if you don't like them. If you live by a builder they can continue to work with you and get it right. Then you will end up with a superior to you product. Aftermarket's like mustang are easier to get your money back out of if you eventually decide you don't want it.

Everyone has their own favorite, but we all have different butts. Our opinions aren't going to be very helpful.
That said, I have yet to see an improvement over the stock Road King (2014) seat.

We are allowed to have as many seats as we fancy, so don't limit your choice to only one! Your Sundowner might be the preferred choice for longer trips, while you slip on your fancy super sleek custom seat for trips round town, etc. Let your imagination rip!

I rode a touring from Corbin.
I just got back from Sturgis. 2,200 miles round trip, plus over 1,000 in the area; my butt never noticed.

I put a Mustang solo on my RKC right after I bought it. Also bought the passenger seat/backrest which goes on with the quick detachable kit. It's 14 years old now and still doing fine. Although I've been toying with the idea of putting a Mother Roads Tractor seat on it lately.
