Default Seats

Alright, let’s talk seats.
I have a drag specialties predator 3. I really like it, the back support is nice and it’s nice and narrow which allows my short self to get my legs down easily.
But, it sits me too far back.
I’d like a nice seat that pushes me a little more forward so I’m not straining to reach the bars, and it’ll make the floorboards feel more under me which I also want.
I know saddlemen is the go-to, and I’m open to listening but what are you guys running and how is it?
asking on Facebook seemed like the saddlemen road sofa (looks huge tho) and SlyFox would both push me forward a bit.
also needs to be comfortable for a 500+ mile day and at least a tolerable back seat.

Hawkeye customs ! Love the bike

take a look at the saddlemen slim Pretty sure that’s the name. Looks like a step up bit slightly more narrow and pushes you up a couple inches

Hawkeye is a different flamed road glide, but thanks! My insta is PugliaCustomDesign...painted this one myself.
I've heard a lot of people say the saddlemen isnt comfortable, but I also see a ton of people using them so I'll def look into that. Thanks!

Sorry dude 😂 🤦🏽‍♂️ Bike does look killer

I run the plain Jane step up from saddlemen and do 500+ mile runs all the time. I love it. But I can only compare it to the cvo seat on a bagger.

just my 2 cents

Anyone running the Harley Smart tune? I still have the warranty and I'm installing the D&D Bob Cat and AC. I have the HD pro tuner. Any thoughts?

I'm looking at either the San Diego Customs seat (no backrest) or the Lucky Daves for my Street Glide...
