Valkyrie Seat Comfort

I have noticed that the Valk seat is a bit different than any of the other Wings and I am curious about the comfort on long trips compared to any other Wings?

No long trips yet Gerry and I don't know if it is the seat that makes it so comfortable or the 1500 6cyl. :whistling:

Rebel seat looks much the same. We are all of different builds and sizes so what I find comfortable you may reject in a few minutes.It took some adjustments and learning where to sit on mine for it to be comfy. Modified for wing fitment it may be a completely different fit for the rider as well.

With the stock seat on my Interstate, I was having a hard time going more than about 70 miles before I was getting sore enough to want to get off. Put an Ultimate Lowrider setup on it, and have a different pain at about the same mileage. Have to admit, the new seat isn't really broke in yet, so maybe it will get better.

My ride from Alaska back to Ohio I bought two cushions from wally world and still not comfortable.

I find the stock seat pretty good however mine's a 97 model so the seat is a bit softer and bottoms out pretty soon after you get on it. It's good for an hour or two ,after that your butt breaks get a bit closer together. After 98 I think they went to a bit different style of cover and folks say that is a little stiffer. Can't say for sure.

I really didn't mind the stock seat and had my rear on it for a couple of long tours - one of about 1100 miles. There are worse stock seats in the motorcycle world. While it wasn't as comfy as my stock '84 Aspy seat was, I thought it worked well.

But, I have since installed a Mustang that I really like. First, it looks a lot better. Functionally, it's firmer, but very compliant and comfortable. Better contour. Two long runs last summer proved to me that it was a wise purchase.

97 Valkyrie seat so much better than a stock GL1000 seat. Have done 400 mile days and butt feels good, the rest of me is sore but butt is good.
