I'm happy with the stock seat..with that and the shocks set for a floaty ride...I can do the hours.

The stock seat blows! I took it off before I even picked up my limited and put the tall boy seat on. Tall boy fits me perfect.

 

I have no problems with the stock seat on my 13 Limited.

 

I like mine. Did a 6000 mile road trip in June and it was great. Didn't like the stock seat on my FLSTFB but this one wors great. I think a back rest is a must as well

 

M/c seats are designed for the "Average Joe" so they'll probably get it right 80% of the time. For the other 20%, there's a company called Mean City Cycles (forum vendor). Call them...you'll be pleased at "1/2" cost of a replacement seat. Got their double-memory foam UG a few years back and my a$$ thanks me every time I saddle-up.

 

I have no problems with the stock seat on my '09 and long rides are nothing out of the ordinary.

6550 miles in 18 days in June and the wife and I both felt fine on the stock seat.

 

Seats??? Handlebars!!! Floorboard adjustments???? Any time you jump off a bike you've lived with for a while, the new one seems a little off. First thing most guys do is dumpa ton of money out the gate in an attempt to recapture what they think in their minds is the "right set-up". My advise....ride it for a month or two.....my bet is that soon you'll get used to it and your mind will change. Case in point for me is going from a Dyna to a Road King.......the handle bars were a lot different. I read on here that EVERYBODY changed stock Road King handlebars. Almost had my mind made up to try something else. Now, after 2,000 miles, these stock bars feel great.
If money for you isn't an issue what so ever.....guess it's different.

 

i bought a 2013 roadglide ultra about 8 months ago and the seat felt really cushy until i got 30 miles from the dealership. i'm 6'4" tall and weight right at 200 pounds and i believe corbin is right with their theory that hard seats become more comfortable as they break in. well the stock harley seat felt almost as if i was sitting on the seat pan because all the foam was so cushy that it compressed down to nothing. that same week i had the parts guy order me a 2009 roadglide seat. i used one of those on my 08 streetglide and it was a wonderful seat. plenty firm, but not like a brick either, so for me it was the right choice and feels just right. about 250 bucks new from harley. compared to any aftermarket seats, the 09 roadglide seat is as good as any of them in my opinion. and they don't look near as dorky as the stock seat. they actually look pretty sharp.

 

I used to love the stock seat but I think its getting worn out. Now longer rides are getting me a bit sore. Wife still likes the back seat but for long rides I throw down a gel pack pad to add some comfort for me. Some time back a got a solo seat just changing the look of the bike a bit. There is some gel type foam stuff packed in there and just to the touch feels way to firm but is actually very comfy and I can do mile after mile with no issue. I may just try the Mean City memory foam to try to revive the stock seat. I hate to just start throwing seats on there to try to find a sweet one.

 

No problem with the stock seat so far, but without trying all of the replacements out there it's difficult to judge. My buddy has a road zep and he loves it. My Dyna was another story. That stocker sucked big time! Replaced that. With a Mustang Nostalgic and was happy after that.
