CVO Seat - Finally it works for me !
« on: June 04, 2015, 08:09:28 PM »

While new to CVO Electra Glides, I'm not new to Electra Glides.

In the past I've never been comfortable with the stock Electra Glide handlebars/stock seat.  I've ended "tossing them" and going with Harley's reduced reach bars and a Mustang seat.

Fortunately, the previous owner of this "new to me" 2013 Electra Glide CVO, had already installed the reduced reach bars.  I was thinking I would probably end up with a Mustang seat, but since the CVO has Harley's heated Hammock style seat, I was hoping I could find some way to make this heated seat comfortable.

After numerous trial-and-error attempts over several days, I think I've finally got it!

I moved the backrest support bracket as far forward as possible, then placed 1/2 spacers under the front of the bracket to angle the top of the backrest backwards.  This seems to work; took a 200 mile ride and I feel fine - no sore butt or thigh muscle aches.

Maybe this arrangement might work for others.

Regards
