I bought an 09 FLHT Standard.
Great bike but was wondering about the stock seat.
It looks like the stock seat on the standard is different then the Classic.
I get about 300 miles before the butt goes to sleep.
I hear people always bragging on how they can ride their Classic or Ultra 600+ miles without problems.
Is the seat on them that much better ?
I was thinking of replacing the seat or going with a MeanCity Cycles mod like I did on my old bike.
Some guys complain about all stock seats and even when they buy aftermarket they need to get one custom made. I can do 600+ miles a day on just about any seat, or any bike. It's a personal preference thing.
