Harley-Davidson Sportster Seats

The mighty Harley Sportster deserves a seat as legendary as its name. Just like there are myriad options of Sportster models, so are there for Sportster seats. No matter what style that you’re looking for, you are sure to find the saddle that best fits you and your bike at Dennis Kirk. <br><br> The first thing to consider when purchasing an aftermarket Sportster seat is if you want a solo or two-up seat. Solo seats are great for a clean look, but clearly, you lack the pillion space for a passenger. On the other hand, two-up seats are necessary for safely riding with a passenger. Two-up seats with built-in backrests provide even more security for your passenger. <br><br> The Sportster is often regarded as a great platform for shorter riders to get started on. But the seat height can still be a bit too high. A low-profile Sportster seat brings the seat height even lower. In addition, a narrower seat can also help to get the rider’s feet down. On the other side, extended reach seats move the rider further back in the saddle to accommodate longer legs. <br><br> Comfort is another factor to consider. Look for more cushion or gel seats for the most comfort. Pillow-style memory foam is another great choice for all day riding. For more back support, choose seats with backrests. Try to choose a seat that will put you in a comfortable rider triangle. <br><br> Backrests and sissy bars are great additions to your seats. Not only can you add support, but also a place to add storage. Bags can be easily strapped to backrests and sissy bars. <br><br> After you've picked out the perfect seat, head on over to our <a href="/harley-davidson">Harley-Davidson Parts</a> page to find anything else you may need for your Harley.
