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

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

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.
