Default saddleman nightmares!!

ordered a king model for my standard and the stitching and frame must have been the worst craftsmanship ever.
I sent it back thinking I received a bad seat. So today I went to pick up the replacement and it was just as bad!
I gave up with saddleman and ordered a lepera. Don't know if anyone else has dealt with them but I would stay away.

I have two Corbins and they were both great seats from day one!

I have a Saddlemen Rogue on my Deuce. I love it and it still looks great with 15K miles on it! I think that every seat manufacture has it's quality control problems. I would try again. Speak with a human and see what they will do for you. Good luck!

I have the Saddlemen Renegade II on my Springer Classic and am very happy with it. Good quality and very comfortable.

I had Saddleman saddlebags and they fell apart in less than a year (normal use - actually hardly used at all).

As far as seats, my Mustangs have held up very well and they are a quality item.

Just got my Mustang wide solo for my Heritage yesterday, top quality. Fits better than the stock seat. Was a tossup between that and the Saddleman, looks like I made the right choise after seeing this post.

I'll throw in for the Mustang touring seat. High quality, great comfort, and good looks.

I've got the LePera Bare Bones on my standard - been using it for almost 2 years now and nothing but good things to say about it. Got some saddleman detachables for the same bike, and they appear to be pretty stout w/ excellent craftsmanship. Had them about 2 months, so may be too early to tell yet..............
