Default saddle

Can anyone help me with ordering a comfortable replacement seat for my Ultra. I have tried several from Harley and can not find a real comfortable one.

I have had this seat on my '05 Ultra for 14,000 miles and luv it - still as good as new. Even in my sig.

No "break-in" period. Comfy.#75449 Plain - not studded. $330 shipped fromBenji's.

One-Piece Smooth Ultra Touring Seat
The Mustang Ultra Touring seats for 1997-07 have been engineered with several improvements over the stock seat. The Ultra seats are 1.5" narrower at the nose so the driver's legs can easily fit around it and his feet can reach the ground. The baseplate has been recontoured in front to eliminate the hard spots the rider felt on long trips with the stock seat. The rear seat has wide internal support wings to keep the passenger up off the handrail. The seats are contoured to better clear the saddlebag lids. It is also split to accept the stock driver backrest kit. Both styles measure 17" wide in front and 16" wide in the rear.

Agree with dirtdobber - Give Mean City Cycles a try... Heard nothing but good reports on there work & a whole bunch cheaper then buying yet another seat.... & they're a vendor here...

i have a sundowner on my WG, and it is a great seat. However, wanted the ability to adjust the settings on the seat for both me and the rider. went to a HD Leather Road Zeppelin and it is great. raises you up a bit, but it is really comfy, especially on the long rides.

So much depends on the individual person as to what is comfortable and what is a torture contraption, so you never know for sure til you've logged some miles on a seat. Mustang and Corbin are the most popular aftermarket seats.

Go with Mean City Cycles, tons of folks on the forum swear by the modifications that Allen performs to stock and even aftermarket seats.

I have always had Corbin seats on mine. Best investment I ever made. Going on 8 years with the first Corbin I bought, no problems.
