Default RKC Seat

Looking for suggestions on a good comfortable two up seat for my 08 RK that will lift up my wife enough in the back to see over me.....sundowner did not do the trick....I had a mustang on my vtx 1300r that was perfect but don't know if they make out for the RK

Look at the classified ads here for a stock Ultra/ ElectraGlide Classic seat.

Comfy, kinda ugly, but who cares when you are sitting on it...and cheap. Should be able to get one for under $100.

I'm 6'2 my spouse is 5'7, she gets a good view when we ride ( no helmet). and she is comfy so that i get no complaints.

Mike

You may want to go to a dealership and sit on a 2011 Street Glide. The new seats are so much more comfortable than the previous years or any of the Road King seats I've sat on (and have used both on my bikes). You can find them cheap on ebay or even this forum. Make sure it'll fit your bike though.

You may want to check out the Mustang Vintage Solo seat and then put a 13'' wide pillion seat on it for the passenger. I know it's comfortable and Mustang seats look really good on a Road King, however, not sure about passenger sitting high enough. The 2 piece seat gives the added flexibility of removing the passenger pillion when by yourself for a "cooler" look. mustangseats.com
