Default 2010 Road King seat vs Streetglide seat

I have an 09 RK and I have a chance to pick up a stock Street Glide seat for next to nothing. Can someone tell me if there is any difference in seating position, firmness, etc. Any help would be great, thanks.

From what I have been told, the 09 and 10 SG seat sets little over 1" lower and the rear passenger area is a bit thinner then a RK. As for deference in comfort I don't know. I hope some one with experience on the seats can help you out more.

Well the 2011 RK seat according to the HD website is 26.4 " and the SG seat is 26.1" so it does sit a little bit lower...the '11 seats are a bit lower than the '10s overall.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing and put a SG seat on my ride
