 [smiley=nixweiss.gif] What about the seat???  Coming off of several Ultra Classics the seat on this bike feels very hard (I'm still waiting for mine) to the touch although actually more supportive overall.  

What do you guys think about it (that already have your bikes)?  What does your passenger think about the back seat?  In comparison to an Ultra Classic with the pillow seat??

the seat feels like a leather upholstered piece of plywood. Im switching to a mustang seat. Note that this bike used Roadking seats because of the extended dash.

Got an email from Corbin.  They will have a seat made just for this bike (not a Road King seat), in the next couple weeks.  The seat mold was completed the end of last week and pictures were taken for the web site.  Should be on the web site by the end of next week.

Hey AK
Give me a little more info on the Pro Pad you are talking about. Web site, location, phone number etc.
I know I am going to have to do something cause I am going from the Air Seat on my Ultra to a 1/2 in pc of plywood.


I may go to the Corbin seat but want to keep all options open.

thanks

Corbins are great seats... I had one. But they are not soft.  When I started developing back problems (not from riding) I had to switch to a mustang seat.  It is much softer.

kingsalmon--the guy i used is in los gatos was his 2nd job he gave it up i,ll call him for referal (franchise deal ).had him put plyable 5/8 in.  resen-jel pad in my 99 rkclassic seat still going strong, check adds thunder press. worked well for me and the stock roadking classic seat is a good looking seat  and matches leather diamond patern bags--------the o4 flhtcse is a bit thin but looks great and i like the way it rolls up in back of rider i,d go the extra mile a get stock seat to work i,d hate to lose the stock back rest if it,s not compatable with after market seat----------i did buy a corbin sole seat with back rest for roadking to use on different rides  when  the sole is on road king the stock seat with pad goes on 02 ultra classic my covers are pulled i,m a hd junkie 1st new hd 77 low rider $3,950.00 plus tax-regards,ak

I had this seat on my Road King...

I was going to let this seat go with my Road King, which I sold to my brother, but then the guy at the dealer who bought the other CSE said that the stock seat is OK under 200 miles, but really bad after that.  He said that this seat would fit and would probably look great too.  I put it on at the dealer to try it, and it is awesome.  And I know that it is all-day comfort, because it's my old seat that I put 23000 miles on, but still in great shape!  If anyone wants a great distance seat...this is a great one at a great price.  Much softer but still supportive than Corbin.  My CSE is being delivered to my house on Friday.  I went in and listened to the SE pipes yesterday.  WOW!!!

Can't wait for Spring!

OK, I kept my Mustang seat and the stock seat.  I love the looks of the stock seat, but know that going top Sturgis and then south through Colorado, TX, etc, that I will regret not taking the Mustang seat.  I ordered the black spotted pad for the tour-pak, thinking that the only times that I will need the pak/pad is when I'm distance tripping.  Which is good because you can't use the low-profile passenger backrest with the wide-cushion Mustang seat.  Altogether I think I'm happy with my choices.  I'll just use the stock seat to cruise around town and day trips.  I'll throw the Mustang and Tourpak on for long distance sofa sitting.  Regards!

I'm actually kind of surprised that nobody here has bought a Corbin yet.  Maybe I'll be the first.

As I understand it, Corbin is the first to make a seat specifically for the SEEG.  All the others that can be made to fit were designed for the Road King and do not fit well at the front, near the tank.  Does anybody have any information to the contrary?

[Kingsalmon]

I ordered the Corbin dual tour seat w/heater a couple of weeks ago, matching corbin small tour pak back rest and a rider back rest. I also ordered the chopped tourpak from HD. It will still be a couple of weeks before all this stuff gets delivered.

[Doc]

I have a Road King Mustang seat on mine..and I would have to say that it fits "perfectly" front and back.  No mods needed...hugs the dash very well.  My opinion, but I think that it fits like it was made to.

[Black_Dog]

Ha Doc,  where do you park the I-pod?

Well, so far, I was letting it sit in a charger from the cigarette lighter...but it transmits lo-fi to the FM stereo.  I am going to get a bicycle handlebar holder and run a wire to the AUX port.  That will make it hi-fi.

Will you post photos, once you get everything installed?

The tour pak took about two months to get to me although I ordered the King Tour Pak.

Did you ever get the dyno completed?
