Have not seen one for this.  We are not using anything. Just had its 10k service and all is going well!

Haven't noticed any sun glare problem, but I think the sun has only shined a couple days in Michigan.  Riding to the Harley Museum this weekend.  The forecast look good.

Yep, took a four day trip the past weekend, and driving north on the first day, a lot of glare.  But boy that stock seat beat me up bad.  I could ride 600 miles a day with my Heritage, but after 100 miles on tis bike, I'm squirming in this saddle!  I have to deal with this seat, or I'll be buying a Honda!

Hi regarding seat I had a standard deluxe loved the look couldn't last an hour in the saddle so I bought the heritage seats and guess what I was very comfortable so maybe try that plus your scoot will look awesome

Hmmm I guess every ass has a seat to fit it!  LOL  My wife has about 12k miles on her stock seat and loves it…

I am still not happy with the seat,I don't have much of an ass and I need the pocket deeper. I had the same problem with my streetglide and had the front made higher so it kept me in the pocket. I think I will do the same with this one. I ride two up most of the time that's why I don't use the stock seat.I keep riding up on the tank.

Tele I think you are on the right track.  My last bike, a 2008 anniversary heritage softail was very comfe.   I could ride 500 miles, no problem!  I thought buying a CVO, the seat could only be better

My seat is a sundowner ,pushs me forward. I went to dealer today and sat on a regular Heritage seat. It fits a whole lot better. They ordered me one should be on the bike this week.

I did the same.  Much more gush in those seats!  Not sure how the passenger portion will fit.  Quoted me $550 for both the driver and passenger seat.  Almost ordered.  But I thought I would open my seat, remove some foam, install some jel pad and recover and see. 
Let me know how you like the heritage seat after you ride a few miles.

Hi folks you will also find that with the heritage seats it will give you a little bit more leg room and the passenger pad gives a little lower back support not a lot but enough to help a little on the longer rides hope this is helpful to you all.

tele
did you put this seat on a 2014 softail deluxe?  If so, can you post pictures? 

[Tele]

Hi Foot loose no I didn't it was a 2009 deluxe and I don't have a photo but I'm sure that your dealership will have a seat that you can try the seat I had was of a 2013 heritage softail with the studs

I will post pic later this week when I pick it up form dealer.
