Default Road King OEM Seat To Road Glide Special

I've searching the web this evening but unable to find any definitive answer so here it goes...I m looking to swap my OEM seat, 2021 Road Glide Special to a Road Kind OEM seat part# 52000038

Can anyone definitively confirm if this seat will fit the 2021 Road Glide Special? Just wanted to make sure before I order the seat online, here's sample Road King OEM picture.

Don’t see why not, most Harley touring bike seats are interchangeable,

Yes it will fit, I have a king seat for my 2020 Road Glide that I no longer use, PM me, its in perfect condition and just hangs on the wall for a back up seat. My zip is 98674 if you want to figure shipping.

I agree it will fit. Any of the touring seats from 2009 to current will fit your bike. My '13 King has a 2018 RG seat on it.

Thanks for the offer, just curious what seat did you end up swapping the Road King seat for? I really like the San Diego Customs Pro seat, but the expensive price is what keeping me at a distance. Currently, I am using my old 2014 Limited touring seat, very comfortable vs the OEM, but man it looks ugly and hideous...lol

Before you buy, might be worth a look on the Forum Classifieds. Some show up now and then.

If you're on the fence for that seat, just get it. I rode 800 miles this weekend and it wasn't the seat that kept me from doing more. It's a the nicest seat I've ever used by far.

To answer your question, yes, those seats will fit on either bike without any issues at all.

Looks like you had me convinced and I took the plunge on the SDC Pro seat and ordered it yesterday and this has go to be the most expensive the rear end will ever seat on...lol... I will just add the cost of the Road King seat to fund this new seat... I hope it brings me some pleasant long distance rides, would be a good idea to repeat another Sturgis ride this year from San Diego, CA to South Dakota...thanks for the recommendation...

I also just read your review on the Saddleman seat, good write up.
