FLHTC Seat options
I love my 2001 EGC, ride the $hit out of it....when there is not snow on the ground. BUT, I hate the damn button tuck stock seat. Don't get me wrong, it's comfortable as crap, but I can't stand the button tuck look.
My dilemma, I don't have the scrap for big money seats...wish I did. I occasionally look for newer (stitched versus button tuck), used stock touring seats online. My stock seat has the "bar" on the seat that slides into the bike, I have heard HD reversed that in recent years.
Here's the questions,
Does anybody know at what year it changed so I can ensure if I found one, I get one that works.
Did anyone replace their stock touring (stitched) seat and have it sitting around the garage?
Thanks for the input.

i hated my button stitched seat too. i got a road king seat and a stree glide seat which both fit with the flat bar that goes kind of under the tank. the both look so much better than the stock and are both really comfortable. i picked both of mine up from an independent shop really cheap i.e. $50 bucks. the only thing is they don't go up to the dash on the tank like the stock one did; which i didn't like either. i cut my own little extension piece out of black leather and filled the void with that. they also sell little chrome pieces that fill that space too for about $40 bucks i think. i REALLY want to get a street glide dash and replace mine but they go for pretty high on ebay and the like. i'm keeping my eyes open though. if anyone is reading this that has one cheap, pm me and i'll gladly take it off your hands. hope this helps. d.a.b.

After I 'reworked' my seat to make it comfortable, I went to the Jr College's upholstry class and had it recovered. It came out pretty good. I paid for the new material, Labor was free (it's a class).
