RE: ROAD GLIDE STOCK SEAT QUESTION

The ones with the patterns generally come matched to the bikes graphics. I don't know if there is any difference between the two. I just swapped a guy with a road glide for his seat and gave him my Ultra seat. It has the pattern because it is an anniversary seat. I would render a guess that if you bought an all black road glide, you would not get a seat with the pattern in the middle. If you bought one with silver graphics, you would get a seat with a silver pattern in the middle, just a guess don't quote me. It works better for me than the ulta seat

I much preferred the seating position of the RG seat to the stock EG seat; moved me back an inch or two which was great; the EG seat made me feel like I was sitting on the gas tank and I'm only 6'1".

The smooth one with the logo imprinted was stock on bikes until 2004 I believe. In 2004 they went to the one with the pattern down the center of the seat.

+1 Used the one out of the catalog on a 6K mile trip out West and it bout to have killed me. My poor butt suffered.
Back to the stock seat now but am looking for some suggestions on a good seat.
