Thanks all! I appreciate it. I like the seat too I really do. It's not that I am replacing it because it's bad (It could've defaulted to pink!). It's just not what I wanted. My mistake will cost $199 to correct since Saddlemen has an awesome token option to fix/replace aspects of a seat.
Someone asked for the whole bike shot here you go.
I don't hate it believe me! But when I have something in my mind of what I wanted and planned for, I cannot seem to let go. lol Perhaps OCD? ha
Here is how I wanted it to be. What it should've looked like
Wow. Great service from SM to send a new seat so fast.
Looks very good.

I'm considering a Saddleman seat myself. I sort of like that design. Makes me wonder if I could get by a while without a backrest. On the stock style seats on my 2023 Ultra Limited I have to have the adjustable backrest. It kills me without it. I sat on a bike at a dealer with a Saddleman and since it slid me back a bit it didn't seem to bother my back, but you never can tell until you put some miles on one.
I've heard about the extended reach seat but some folks say it is only for 6'4" riders and above. I'm 6'2 but wonder if that would be the ticket for me. I can't remember if the bike I sat on had the extended reach or standard road sofa. On both of my nekkid bikes I have drag bars and extended forward controls and have no back issues at all. I wonder if sliding my butt back more on the Ultra would possibly help.
@Zomby - I totally get you on the details thing...same here & I'd do the same (swap/fix) as it would always be there as a reminder. Bike looks great, either way, and that's a sweet looking seat. Ride-on!
"Be careful on these custom order things. There is a laundry list of options, but even 1 missed changes it entirely. Super bummed...but my fault.
When placing online orders, especially for expensive items, I always review the confirmation email. There have been a few times when the order was incorrect through no fault of mine, and was able to reach out to have it corrected.
Lesson learned!
Good luck to you!

Posted it for sale for now while I wait for saddle men to send me the token and such. If it sells I will order new. If it doesn’t I will pay the 200 and have saddle men fix it. Send it back and wait.
