........figure out what seat this is.



The wife an I took the longest trip ever for us together and we were both hurting pretty bad when we got home. We did about 300 miles today and 400 the last two days. I will probably walk funny tomorrow. I've looked all the way through the HD book and cannot find this seat. Several look about right without the silver things, but I just can't put my finger on it.

I've only logged about 1500 miles this year so I'm trying to figure out how much of the pain is the seat and how much is the lack of riding. Anyone able to answer any of these questions please?

I concur. Looks just like the factory seat that came on my 2010 Road King. I think they changed the seat in 2011.

Ok, since the seat seems to be stock. Does that explain the pain?

I replaced my stock RK seat with the Sundowner and found it to be a lot more comfortable. When the wife and I put a lot of miles on in a day I make sure to stop about every hour or so and that helps a lot. The first 100 miles is easy but if I push myself past two hours then my butt bothers me for the rest of the day.

If I didn't find it in the catalog before, how do I compare part numbers?
