So I wanted to write a follow up to one of my threads when I was looking for a new seat. After a lot of research and whatnot I settled on Saddlemen. I looked at what I wanted in a seat and what they had then spoke with John about customizing one of their seats to give me what I was looking for. What ended up was a customized road sofa seat with backrest with added legroom (I’m 6’6”) and added heated seats for me and passenger, I also made the seat 14” wide compared to the 12.5” that is standard and increased the lumbar support to 7”. Obviously a lot of work, but if I am going to spend money on a seat I might as well make it worthwhile and cater it to me and my riding.

Today was actually first first day I got to ride it and absolutely loved it! Provided such a nice level of cushion in my ride while holding me in place but also had the right level of support. Can’t wait to ride it more.

I know a lot of people will knock it for its looks, but most of my riding is longer distances and not bar hopping, and honestly I rather not have to get into switching seat out based on local or far. I like it and to me that’s what matters (to each their own).

Anyway, Saddlemen customer service and staff were awesome. Love these people.

Let me know what you think. Good, bad, or indifferent.

yeah it’s one of the reasons I chose the Saddlemen. The backrest can move forward or recline back. If you go on their site you can see better how it works or even do a YouTube search. This is such a comfy seat, but like I said it does provide support. I know a lot of people might not like the look, I actually don’t mind if, but I’d rather be comfortable and have something look *** ugly than something that’s looks awesome but is wickedly uncomfortable.

I have the saddlemen RS on my Superglide. Very comfortable.
