Best seat for an 05 EG standard to add some leg room/extension : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

Curtis629 · 08-15-2009, 07:23 PM

I just got my first bagger, an 05 electra glide standard. I'd like to change the stock seat to one that will set me farther back. I'm 6'4" with a 34" inseam. And a enough belly that it could get in the way, haha. I used a cobra seat on my softail a while back to give me some more room. What's a good seat that fits well on the Electraglide? The Streetglides look like they set lower and farther back. All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,

The Mustang wide solo with passenger pillion. This is without rider backrest as it will take up the room you gain. The seat will set you back at least 2" and down about an inch. Im 6'2" 300lbs and put over 60,000 miles on one of these. A few 700 mile days and all was good. I totaled my 04 and picked up an 03 so I will be buying another one of these. It's the best seat I have found for my size.

Do you have the model numbers of the solo and passenger pillion? I'm looking for the same thing.

It looks like the 2008 Seat has a part # 76027 for the 08s and the pillion is the same as the 97-2007 #

I bought an 07 streetglide seat and it really helped with the leg extension. $75, couldn't pass it up.
