My stock seat has gotten more and more comfortable the more miles I put on. Might just need to break it in also.

And did I miss the pictures??? Because you know....

^^^ what he said.

The 2011 stock seat is working pretty well for me too, not seeing a reason
to change it.

The bucket is wider and deeper than my last EG. I sit back a little
more which I'm sure is making it easier.

Yep.....I'm a proud member of the 12' FLHTK Ember Red/Merlot fan club. This is my fourth Harley in eleven years. Swore I'd keep this one stock.....hasn't worked out that way. Congrats!!

Congrats brother, as others have said, ride the stock seat for a while, "to me" my stock limited seat is more comfortable than the Sundowner I had on my '10 RKC.

If I had $10 everytime I said I would keep a bike stock...I would have enough to buy another scoot. Gratz on the new ride.

Congrat's on the new Limited Sath. I vote for giving the stock seat a chance as well. My wife bought a new 2012 Triglide. She started talking about getting a new Mustang seat for it. She's got 3K miles on it now and talking about keeping the stock seat. I think the stock seat's are better on the 12's. JMO
