no reason why it shouldn't. the touring bikes share the same frames.

 

Thank you, Then I'll purchase the seat

 

I put this ebay seat on. I like it

I've seen those CVO knockoffs on Ebay....how's the overall quality? Fit and finish? Do they feel cheap at all?
They certainly are priced good if the quality is up there

 

It fits good. It comes with the chrome knurled mounting bobbins. The seat base doesn't touch anything its not supposed to. It's comfortable enough understanding its not the thick oem touring seat. You sit lower and back a bit so your windshield becomes taller by about 1".

I like the CVO look but didn't want to pay the OEM price. It's not leather. It appears well made. For the passenger pillion you can go to Ace Hardware and buy the little rubber bumpers for about .59 each and glue them on with automotive emblem glue. The holes aee already there in the seat base where they go.

When my wife rides with me I swap the touring seat back on.

 

That's good to hear...thanks. It looks great on your bike and you are right the price cannot be beat. I wouldn't expect it to come close to a name brand seat like Corbin LePera etc. in overall build quality but if it's at least as good as a stock Harley seat (CVO aside) I may look into getting one. As I've said I have seen them online but yours is the first actual bike I've seen one on and it does look very nice indeed. I know the "performance bagger" guys like the step up seats like Saddlemen and Lucky Daves but I'm far from that kind of rider. The CVO style seat and even the vinyl cover version on the Electraglide standard look nice to my eye. If you ever have the seat off for any reason please revisit this thread and add a pic or two of the seat pan please.

 

I have seen these. Are they worth it?

 

I think it is. it looks good and is comfortable. Not a hard seat like say a mustang super touring. A lot of things are supplied from china, AC Delco oil filters even have chinese writing on them now. The same oil filter that comes on your GM vehicle from the factory.

I can imagine a manufacturer in china procuring a CVO seat and copying it, using vinyl instead of leather. If the factory CVO seat is supplied from china I can imagine a smaller manufacturer paying off someone at the factory to supply them with the build print, then selling a knock off at a much cheaper price.

They are good copiers and their labor cost is cheap. A person there probably gets paid $5 a day to sew the covers all day long. If I could have snapped up a CVO leather seat on CL for $250 I would have done it. You would have to put one side by side to see the difference leather vs vinyl. I liked the style and the price and took a chance on it and am happy with it.

If I take a 250 mile trip on it will report back on the all day comfort but seat comfort is subjective. some swear by those hard corbin sests and some swear at them.
