Electra Glide / Road Glide Seats ???
I think the EG and the RG are Great Tour Bikes. I could be Happy with either. they both have their place in the Harley Tour Family. I have evaluated and experienced both Stock seats and the EG seem to be a deeper, more comfortable, fitted seat and offers more back support. These bikes are Top of the Line and I was wondering why MOCO seemed to slack a little on the RG seat IMO...... hdman
RE: Electra Glide / Road Glide Seats ???
I agree that the seat on the roadglide is not as comfortable for the passenger but I like the rider seat on mine. I ordered an ultra seat off ebay for my wife so she is comfortable on long trips. I really hate the ultra seat though. Hell, I run a badlander when I'm riding solo

RE: Electra Glide / Road Glide Seats ???
similar question I asked my dealer, his answer - the road glide was targeted for a sportier tour look. Not that I agree but that was his answer, I'm sure there's a marketing reason in someone's mind.
First thing I did was order the EG seat and swapped out the stock seat on my Road Glide.

I went the opposite direction, I bought a take off seat from a 05 roadglide for my 05 electraglide because I wanted to take some of the bulky look out of the rear of the bike, kinda like it that the wife doesnt sit a foot higher than me like with the stock seat, comfortable enough with backrests for us both.

RE: Electra Glide / Road Glide Seats ???
I think the stock seat on both bikes suck. I put a Corbin on my EG and have not looked back. "Cushy" is only comfy for about 15 miles, then you get hot spots...
