Default Just a quick question

Hey everyone I just purchased my first HD 2014 Street Glide Special and am loving it!! 😊

Today I actually took my wife for her first ride and she loved it. However after a couple of hours on the bike she started complaining that her butt was hurting due to the lack of padding in the rear portion of the seat. I found a stock ultra glide classic seat online for sale and was thinking that looked it had quite a but more cushion for the passenger. It's a really good price and don't feel like spending $500 on new seat. Does anyone happen to know if the factory ultra classic seat will fit in my SG? I do have a 4 point bracket on the back for her backrest and a tour pack that will be here in a few weeks. I am curious if the width of the ultra seat will fit in between the metal bars for the backrest.

all the 2009~2014 touring series model seats interchange.

many dealers have a "fit shop" or loaner seats to try.

stock type HD stuff shows up on the classifieds here on the forums all the time, or on you local craigslist.

I like the ultra seat and use it when my wife comes, or when touring.
i use a streetglide seat for dayrides and a solo seat around town

I gotta pal who uses a roadking seat on his streetglide.

easy to mix it up, lots of parts interchange

The stock seat does make it a bit hard on the pass, my back rest is fine with diff seat change...

Check into the air hawk seat pads. They are awesome.

Get you a Sundowner or Hammock seat and she will smile....I would keep the stock seat if you want something more sleek looking if you ride solo

Thumbs up

Thanks so much for the responses. I got all the info I think I needed. This price on this seat is just to hard to pass up. I will be keeping my stock seat for when I'm cruising around solo.
