Hi guys, Ladies
Recently got a 2018 softail slim and looking at the Harley leather solo spring saddle https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...er-solo-saddle If you do have that saddle, I have a few questions. Are you happy with it; how does it feel long distance (200 miles +) and are you sliding back when you open up the throttle? How tall are you and how much do you weigh? I am 6', 220 lbs.

 

I have the brown version on my Heritage. I'm 5' 11" and to be honest, it sits me a little too close, I end up feeling cramped on long rides. Longest so far on it was just a little over 400 in an 8 hour period. You will stop more. I think the biggest issue is not being able to move around much. But all that is my opinion, your actual milage may differ. :-)

 

Thanks GregorsPub; good info. Ride safe.

 

Thanks for the info. I have the same exact bike (even the same swing arm bag hahaha - but 14” apes and swapped badges) and was thinking of the spring solo also.

I was wondering about feeling cramped...one thing I wonder is, do you feel like it sits you a bit more “in” the bike like older Softails?
