Can anybody tell me how comfortable the stock seat is?  I have a mustang seat on my 09 ultra and it is awesome.   Looking at that seat on the CVO although it looks great, I wondered if it might get a little hard after 100 miles.  Anybody change their seat out yet?

I had a 2013 cvo road King and after about 150 miles I was getting uncomfortable.
You might not be able to use my experience as I have a lot of other issues which prohibit my comfort regularly.

If it's anything like my 2012 you are not going to enjoy the seat for a long ride. I had some gel put in it and it'd still like plywood. The only thing I like about it is you sit nice and low on it. I bought a Mustang seat and it's great. Judge for yourself of course.

I think my mustang from my 2009 will fit maybe so maybe I'll keep it and put the stock seat back on when I trade it.  I just won't be able to use the back pillion pad.  Thanks for the advice.

Those stock seats aren't made for comfort,, looks alone..  I hated the stock seat on my sg3.  I went with a mustang and can ride all day without any discomfort.  I'm sure the 15s are the same way.    Keep the mustang. .  Stuart

I have a 15 SG CVO and rode 250 miles home after picking bike up.  seats looks good and sits you lower than other seats I have tried on same frame.  after an hour of my 5 hour ride home my back and butt was really killing me.  got home and put on my Corbin Solo that I had on my 14.  no comparison.

obviously I've got a fat ass because I love the CVO seat, 
The highway pegs make it even more comfy

I have tried a couple seats on my 2015, no winner yet.  I had a Mustang Heated Super Touring seat on my 08 Ultra and it was the best seat I have ever ridden on. I don't think it would look right on the Street Glide. Plus it does not seem to fit. The nose of the seat contacts the dash panel.

I was going to try the Danny Grey AirHawk but I read it sits you lower. I already feel like the foot boards are 4" higher than my old Ultra so I don't want anything that will lower me more.

I checked with the dealer and he is still going to give me the same for my trade as long as I have a complete bike (put factory seat back on) so I am going scavenge a couple things such as the mustang seat, passenger backrest, maybe a couple other things as well.

I like the new seat,but I did put hwy pegs on before I left the dealer,and the bars also fit me perfect ,but I'm only 5' 10" and with one new hip and one bad hip I hurt all the time so don't listen to my opinion,Lol

After riding my bike for a mile around the dealership before I put it in the trailer I realized that I am too tall for the stock seat.  Good thing I kept my mustang seat.  Fits perfectly and I don't feel so cramped.  The stock seat wasn't bad, just put me too far forward.

How much further back does the Mustang seat put you? Got a pic of it installed yet?
