    Hi People. firstly I am looking at a King/Queen seat on Ebay for my 2007 FXSTC. the man says the seat he has is of a 2009 FXST Standard and the only number he quoted me is H723001CR03424. I punched that in on Google and come up with nothing? so any thoughts there on if it would fit my 2007 or not?

    secondly,the seat I have at the moment is a Retro King/Queen which I like the lower lines of..but my sorry ars# is not that impressed,,ok for and hour or so,,,the seat has a tendnancey to push you back a bit and there is not a lot of padding in the centre around the tail bone area... so..I'm thinking of getting a bit more padding added to it as i would like to keep it??

    they say the King/Queen are very comphy, they just look a bit over the top,,puffy? any thought would be appreciated

    cheers Jimmy

     G'day Jimmy

     

    I have a Lepera Cherokee on my '05 softail and swear by it - a very comfy yet low seat. Ideal with a swag tied on the back 

    Check them out . . . .

    The stock 2 up seat that comes standard on your 2007 Softail custom is truly hard to beat mate !

    The "thinner" retro/chopper style seat you have could not ever be as comfy

    LOTS of guys fit the stock 2007 and up FXSTC seat to Softail Nightrains and Softail Standards.

    They then do need the stock OEM sissy bar or similar, as the seat bolts up high to the sissy bar itself

    Prolly the same sissy bar you currently are using

    I had 2 for sale for a while there on the forum but they're sold now sorry

    Try Ebay USA , that's where i got mine, but get a post quote from the seller first as it a FUCKING big box !!

    Where did you pick up the seat mate ? Good to hear you like it. Most comfy stock seat by far I find !

    ebay is always good

    Will you be selling the Retro King/Queen seat ?
