What seat did you have modified? If that used to be a stock Road King Classic seat, I'm impressed, especially with the rear half. Either way, looks comfy.

I did have the seat modified, but it wasn't the stock seat. It is a Harley Pillow Look seat. Not sure of the P/N but it's in the book. The pillow look seat is a nice comfortable seat but I'm 6'2" and it made me sit too far up on the gas tank and too high.

The seat was modified to make me sit back and lower. However my wife loves the passenger seat and wasn't really open to giving it up. Well now we both are happy.

The cost for the seat mod is $40. and you pay shipping both ways. Use USPS and total shipping is around $40.

That appears to be the same seat I have, andI gotta' say, man is it comfortable. I can ride all day and nothing hurts.
