Fxdx seat

Rob Farmer · May 4, 2017

My new (to me) Harley fxdx arrived today. Apart from the seat it's great.

ive never known such an uncomfortable seat on a bike.

any suggestions or experience of a replacement?

Is it the standard seat? Harley have some dreadful seats.

I've used Mustang in the past and been happy, Corbin is an option but they are very expensive.

Thanks Twizzle :thumb2

I've just ordered an HD Sundowner from Jersey HD

I've only ridden to Nottingham today. It was agony with the standard seat. It looks great but you sit way to close to the tank, very low and with your feet high. Not good! The corner of the battery digs into your leg when ever you put your feet down

Yep - genuine. I'm surprised they make such an uncomfortable seat.

Corbin for me!

Looks very clean....

It is ridiculously clean. Two owners 27000 miles which is less than 2,000 miles a year

Corbin Solo is what I went with on my FXFXI and I loved it. Stock seat came off immediately.

"ive never known such an uncomfortable seat on a bike."......

rubbish - i've seen an old pic of you with a Ducati..

Rob Farmer · May 5, 2017

That Ducati seat was fine.

The plan is:-
A/ fit the sundowner seat as an interim measure
B/ buy a solo seat (la pera, Corbin etc)
C/ fit a set of "further forward mid controls" from a later low rider. They move your feet 2" further forward

It looks like a non standard short arse seat. You'll have a lot more comfort sat another 4" astern.
I bought a seat that moved me further back which made all the difference.

I then had to change the bars because I couldn't reach them. :blast

Not sure I'd bother with the La Pera if you want comfort Rob. Mine has one and despite me not riding it more than 30 miles yet I can tell that 'comfortable' will not be high up on it's good points. Looks great though.

I had a Corbin solo on the Road King and they are excellent. I may put another one on the Dyna for long trips and have the La Pera for impressing people at bus stops when I nonchalantly ride past with my best cruiser face on.

(Also like your original seat, the La Pera is also quite slim which means the battery box rubs my creamy white, soft and delicate inner thigh.)

Patience....not long now. Mind you....I'll have the la Pera seat on. Might be more of a grimace.

Yeah..but you ain't gonna do that in one hit are ya? Well are ya?... Hard-riding Mofo.....

Mine has one of these on it and jolly comfortable it is too.
Think its a Sundowner, I swapped out the standard seat for this one.

Managed an iron-butt qualifying 30 miles on Saturday.
