Factory seat question

[CWNY]

Hello all,

My question is...

Are factory Road King & Ultra touring seats the same ?

I picked up a take off new Road King seat for longer trips w/ my wife & I...

The factory Ultra seats look like they have a little more rear cushion area...

Can anyone confirm ? I have not had time to varify @ my local dealer.

I found a new take off Ultra seat for $90 & wanted to purchase it but if its the same as the Road King seat why bother...

Thanks,
Chris

I bought the same seat on the 2014 Ultra. the part # was "53000033, Seat FLHTCU". the PN# indicates for triglide, but it used on multiple bikes, but I think only FL models. I am not an expert in the parts section, but I feel like all road king seats had some sort of studding or stitching or jewelry on the seat trim, that kind of set it apart from other seat styles.

I was thinking of the 2 pc. set with the solo rider and separate passenger. Looks great and hopefully comfortable. I will let you know.

I bought the Ultra seat for my wife as well, she loves it, far more comfortable than the stock SGS passenger seat. I think I paid $130 or so new, not a bad price for a seat, and you can try it and if you don't like it, return it.

Yes, Ultra seat has more cushion than RK seat...and $90 is a great price...

Ditto Blk Dragon.
$90 is a really good price - I paid $150 for mine! Lots more cush for the tush than the RK seat.

I changed to Ultra seat on mine. When the better half rides with me, we don't have to stop every 70 or 80 miles for a butt break. The drivers seat does seem to be a little tighter fit than stock. Hope this helps.

I have an Ultra 5000033 as well as the std. seat from a 2014 SGS if anyone is interested. Both in excellent condition.
