Default Stepped Seat for Road King

Anyone have one?

Looking for other options other than Lucky Daves. Im not sure if the Saddlemen RP Slim is similar but I would like to know if there any others that make stepped seats

Thanks

I'm assuming by "stepped seat", you mean king/queen?
If so, IMHO, the Lepera is the nicest looking of them all. If comfort is the goal... Eh.

The Corbin Gunfighter is similar to Lucky Dave's.

What precisely are you looking for ... looks, or back support? If the latter, Corbin and Mustang do back supports.

Comfort is not a priority?
Break that one down for us.
I thought my ex father in law was the only one who thought that way!

That Corbin Gunfighter seat looks like the tag would be the "Butt Stop" on take offs. AKA "Corbin Butt Slider".

Saddlemen makes A great seat, but they are pretty pricey 450$. I ended up getting a local shop c&c seats. I am on my Mobile and cannot figure out how to attach a picture. They did some custom stitching to match my motorcycle at no additional charge. I love that seat it is so comfortable and it looks super cool

Back support mainly. Not a fan of back rest even though it is what Im looking for, but I dont really do long hauls to justify buying a back rest

I meant that Lepera does not really makes seats for comfort, they make seats for looks

Yeah, if looks matter to you back rests are sort of a detractor. But, if looks don't matter back rests can't be beat for comfort. I'm too old to be cool, so there's no need trying to look it. I want real comfort. I won't ride more than 2 miles without my backrest.
