Default Stock Seat Replacement

I have a 2010 Road King FLHR. I am 6', the problem I'm having is when I need to slow down or come to a stop I keep sliding forward in the seat. Has anyone else encounterd this if so what seat or modifications did you make to keep you sitting back.

Thanks

Tom

Mustang seat may help in that area..I had one on my VTX and didn't budge. I notice that I slid on my RK seat but not so much on the SG seat I am now using

dumb question, but are you using Armor All or any other "dressing" on your seat?

No Armor All, I think I need to have a seat that sits lower in the back instead of level.

You can try a Sundowner at a Harley dealer. Most guys swear by them...or at them. Mine did the trick.
