Default Road King Seat

I am going to change the seat on my 03 RKC. At the moment I have a 2 piece RK standard seat which fits me perfectly, but I like the look of the deep buttons of the Pillow Look seat. Does anyone have any experience with the Pillow Look seat....# 51102-01A. Does it make the riding position any higher or lower, nearer or further away than what I've already got. Also if anyone has one...what are they like for comfort.

Thanks for any replies.

Brian.

I have the standard RK two piece seat, and the pillow look seat.
With the pillow look, you will sit a little closer and a little higher.
I only use the pilow seat when riding two up. Easier on the wife.

It sit a little higher and a little closer. The wife and I have ridden two up for over 500 miles in one day. SHE loves it! It is now our summer saddle.

I had a Corbin Dual Tour heated seat custom made for my Road King. Went to Corbin and had it fitted. That is my favorite saddle. The wife thinks it is still a little too firm. She loves the heated feature for winter riding.
