Yes I agree try a 09 RoadGlide seat you and your passenger will like it over the stock StreetGlide seat. I found one here on the Forum for $100.00 plus shipping. I also brought a Corbin YoungGun seat for solo riding and the RG for 2up.

The seat on my 08 FLHX sucked. I tried the Mustang, and it moved me 2 inches forward. Didn't like that. I then found Mean City Cycles. I now love the stock looking seat..

What he said (MCC) - it will be the best $$$ you spend on your seat & savings over buying & trying after-market seats that don't work.
Give it a try - you'll be pleased! Cheers!

I have been using the Sundowner seat since the bike was new. Excellent comfort for both me & the wife.

I have a Sundowner, a Mean City modified stock SG seat and an Ultimate Seat (all fit 08 and up) that I would sell. I have the rider’s back rest and passenger pad for the Ultimate.

The Ultimate is the most comfortable seat (especially for the passenger) but, because of complications from a trip to the cath lab I need something that is very narrow.

I now use a slightly cut down 2008 Road Glide seat and a Butty Buddy (http://www.buttybuddy.com/) when carrying a passenger.

Save yourself a few bucks and help a brother out. Not my seat by the way.

Thanks medic. I was second in line and missed out on that one but I will keep looking.

It sounds like the best route will be for me to try and find a take off from a Road Glide. That will give us a couple of different things to start with and we can go from there.

I would be interested in one of the seats you have to try but I can not figure out how to PM on here!

I swear that I did that and it was not showing up as an option before. I just figured that you had to have X number posts or be a member for X number of days before it became active.

Oh well not the first or the last time I show my stupidity!

Thanks,
Craig
