To liketoride, i have screaming eagle slash cuts on my 04 seeg, love them,--they have a crisp,sharp sound--that can be heard for a ways--especially if someone is behind me--which by the way is usually where everyone is--lol. I also replaced the seat with a road king seat--its much easier on my tired butt--the original seat sucks--in my opinion. try the slash-cuts--im sure you will like them [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=biggthumpup.gif]

Ya know...I have actually been really impressed with the stock seat.  I have been using it for a while now, and have almost 900 miles on it.  I foresee changing the seat out for my 3700 mile trip this summer, but I really actually like how it feels.  I wonder if they changed the foam quality, because it is actually pretty darn comfortable for day trips.  I know many of you disagree, but I'm glad I kept it.

[jay]

Doc, I agree.  It's much more comfortable than I thought it would be.  The passenger seat however is a diffferent story according to my wife!

[Kingsalmon]

Same with mine, the stock seat fit me fine. The girlfriend hated it so guess what ? Its off the bike now.

I notice one of your toys is a 65 Pan. Is it an Electra Glide ? That was the only year they were made I think.

[JCZ]

Doc, I agree.

Well guys you all know if they ain't happy  [smiley=furious.gif] you sure as h*## aren't going to be.   [smiley=oops.gif] Have to make an appointment with Rich's for mine. JCZ did your wife go to Corbin with you and did they fit the seat to your butts.  [smiley=confused5.gif]

Yep, it is.  Red and white.  That model is the last Pan engine and the first Electra Glide.  The "Electra" instead of the "Duo" in front of the Glide was for the first 12 volt electrics and first electric start!

[Doc]

Yes...you guys are correct...my wife hated the back stock seat too...but she's a part-time rider, so oh well.  When she wants on for a long trip, I'll put the Mustang on.  Thanks guys!

[Doc]

I can't believe how much I love this bike.  Every time I get service done,  I take a different loaner from the rental fleet at my dealer.  I've had an '04 Fat Boy, an '03 Ultra, and an '04 Ultra so far.  These bikes always have windshields, pipes, small extras to make them comfortable.  I can't believe how much I want mine back from service.  I've never been like that before.  I always enjoyed my time riding other bikes.  Never again.  I never want to give this bike up.  That, to me, says a lot about these new bikes.  AMAZING!

I also can't believe how gutless the stock 88 feels now.  Even a stage II 95 inch on my old Road King now feels wimpy.  Makes me think.

Anyone wanting to get some bang for your buck or butt however you see it.  Replace the worthless low profile air shocks with Progressive 440 shocks.  It is like having a completely different bike.  My wife and I would flinch at any bump in the road and now it's like riding on a cloud.  And no more air pressure to check!!!!!!!

[MoChrome]

What length Progressive shocks did you get for the SEEG?  11.5" / 12" / 12.5" / 13" / 13.5" ?   I think 13" is the standard height for "normal" FLHT.

Did you but direct from Progressive or through another source?

Thanks

[mr_magoo]

Have be looking at them but didn't know anyone that had them.  Thanks for the news.  [smiley=worthless.gif]

Between the bad seat and the bad shocks, The back warmer is not happy with this bike  The seat looks great and for solo its fine but you have to keep them happy also. So if you have any info on the shocks and seat, I will be watching.

Welcome to the board Iggyjoe3.  I might suggest a search for your topics.  There are several threads on seats.

Hope you enjoy this forum.
