Default Seat Question

I originally had a 2013 Street Glide, I then upgraded to a 2014 Ultra Limited, and when switching to this bike i felt like the stock seat moved me forward. I purchased the tall boy seat which moved me back to a more comfortable position but is not the most comfortable seat on long hauls, plus the passenger looses some space.

Is there a different between a factory street glide seat and the factory ultra seat?

The driver portion of a Streetglide seat is narrower, thinner and lower. With less support in the back. The passenger potion of a Streetglide seat is a quarter of the size and worthless for a ride of more than a couple of miles. That is why I use a sundowner seat on my Streetglide for touring or passengers
