Dyna King and Queen Seat: What Are Your Thoughts?

Seeking Feedback on Dyna King and Queen Seats

Hey everyone,

I’m currently considering upgrading my Dyna with a king and queen seat, and I’d really appreciate some feedback from anyone who has experience with them. I’m specifically looking into:

  • Comfort: How does the seat feel on long rides? Is it worth the investment?
  • Aesthetics: How does the king and queen seat look on your bike? Does it complement the Dyna’s style?
  • Installation: Are there any challenges when installing it? Is it a straightforward process or did you need to make modifications?
  • Durability and Quality: Has the seat held up well over time? Any issues with wear and tear?
  • Customization Options: Are there cool design choices or colors available that you’ve tried or recommend?

I’m looking to hear about any brands you prefer or any particular models that have impressed you. If you have pictures of your rides with the seats, that would be awesome too! I’m eager to gather some opinions before making a purchase.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

I’ve had my Dyna King and Queen seat for about a year now. For long rides, the comfort level is fantastic! The cushioning feels just right and provides great back support.

That’s great to hear, Rachel! I was worried about how it would hold up after several hours. Do you find it supportive even after a full day of riding?

I can definitely echo that! The Dyna seat has made a noticeable difference for my back. I used to get pretty sore, but now I can ride all day.

What about the cushioning? Is it firm, or does it feel more plush? I can’t seem to find that detail anywhere!

It’s a nice balance! The seat is firm enough to provide support, but there’s definitely a plush feel that cushions bumps on the road. Perfect for those long rides!

I’ve had a different experience. After a few hours, I felt a bit of discomfort. Maybe it’s just my body type, but I expected better back support from a premium seat.

I’m surprised to hear that! Have you tried adjusting your riding posture? Sometimes that can make a significant difference.

Adjusting my posture helped somewhat, but I still think the seat could use more lumbar support. Just my two cents!

I appreciate all these insights! Trying the seat at a local dealership this weekend. Any last-minute thoughts before I make my decision?

Definitely test it out for longer durations if possible. There’s nothing like trying it on a longer ride before committing.

So true! It can feel different when you’re actually on the road. What kind of riding do you mainly do?

Mostly long-distance touring! I’m just looking for something that keeps me comfortable on the open highway.

The Dyna seat should work well for that! Just remember, no seat is perfect for everyone. It’s all about personal comfort preferences.

Exactly! You have to really find what works for your unique shape and riding style. But I’m hopeful!

I’ve just installed the Dyna King and Queen seat on my 2018 Dyna Street Bob, and the fitting was surprisingly smooth. The instructions were clear, and it fits perfectly! Just had to watch out for the rear bolts; they can be a bit tricky.

Great to hear! I found the instructions somewhat vague, but the seat fits wonderfully on my 2020 Low Rider. I think the key is to have the right tools ready before starting.

Why is it that installation instructions always leave out the important details? Still, I love how it looked on my 2016 Dyna Switchback after the install.

I struggled a bit with the alignment on my 2019 Dyna Fat Bob. It took some trial and error, but once it was on, it was solid and comfortable!

Installation was a breeze for me! I have a 2015 Dyna Wide Glide, and everything lined up perfectly. Just be patient with the the wiring if you’re adding a backrest later on; it can get crowded back there.
