Default SGlide seat suggestions

I hate the '09 SG stock seat. Do any of you have suggestions for a more comfortable, possibly slightly lower or narrower seat that would fit the '09? Thanks.

Comfort, like beauty, are in the eyes of the beholder. My Streetglide seat of choice is the Harley Sundowner seat - I have a two Sundowners - solo and a two-up version. I will ride up to 500 miles in a day with either of these, no problem. You state "possibly lower or narrower". If your legs are short you may possibly like a Reach seat by Harley. The Reach seat is narrower and sits forward putting your hands and feet closer to the controls. The Reach sits puts you lower as well. Just my thoughts after riding since 1973.

A friend of mine has a Road Glide Stock seat on his 07 Street Glide. I think it's much better than the stock SG seat. I think I may make the change to that one. I just need to find out if the 09's have a different seat than the earlier models. The best bet is to try them out if you can before you buy.

Good luck and keep us posted. I would love to hear what you get and how you like it.
