I have to agree, I hated the way the back of the seat looked on my SG. One of my pups decided to turn it into a chew toy so when I had it recovered I had the guy cut the back edges smooth to give it a clean more uniform look.

I like the Reach Seat very much. Looks a whole lot more sporty than the living room couch that came stock on my '09 FLHTC and because it is narrower it is more comfortable for me. Pressure points in right place. Very nice to get the legs down where they should be. Passenger section is 3 inches narrower than stock and the wife says it is far better, she can get her feet onto the boards properly and sits more comfortable. And because we are both sitting lower, the centre of gravity is lower and thats a big plus as far as I'm concerned. Yup, love everything about the seat, hated the stock one.

it really does fill comfy when riding. most times im solo with the danny gray on and i just get used to the sporty look it has so when i got the reach on i guess thats why lookwise i dont care a lot for it but it does feel good on the butt.

This will be the fifth season on the Reach seat on my '06 RKC. It has been a decent seat, fairly comfortable and allows me to flat foot the bike. With the addition of driver's backrest it has worked out pretty well.

Just bought an 08 RG w/stock seat. It was rough on the wife's backside. The previous owner included a Reach seat in the deal. Installed it and now we are both more comfortable. 500 miles and she hasn't complained about her rear end anymore. Which means I can actually listen to the radio and not her complaining.
