Default CVO Seat on FLHX

For those of you questioning whether to go with the CVO seat from the 2010 CVO Street Glide here are some pics. I posted a while ago and didn't get much in the way of responses so I figured I would put his out there for eveyone. First the seat looks great and fits good (10A model). Second, it sits you down quite a bit compared to the stock seat. I am 6'2" and didn't need to sit lower but the windshield works a lot better now. I also opted for the CVO backrest and other than it being slightly smaller it has the custom back rather than plain old leather. It works well for me but I am under 200 lbs so a big back rest was not needed. All in all I am quite happy, it is very comfortable and looks great. Hope this helps

Very nice!

Sometimes I miss my SG...sometimes.

I have to wonder whether or not I'd do the CVO or get something that I can specify from C&C if I were in your shoes. Of course, it is really nice to know it is going to go perfectly with your bike...and it does.

Really nice, man.

Did you buy the seat new or used. I went to my dealer to order one and the parts guy told me I had to own a CVO in order to purchase a seat.
