Default This seat!

Purchased a Solo Saddleman Renegade seat as shown. The seat looks awesome and is actually comfortable on the 2+ hour ride I took. The problem I have with it is it sets me so far back Im reaching for my bars and I actually missed a shift because my feet end up having to reach farther forward! I have 13" apes and standard position floorboards. Part of the problem is that the seat is so flat that there is no positive butt stop and I slide back. Im only printing this review for other folks that might be considering this seat for themselves. For me Im back hunting for a solo seat .

Seat looks almost not designed for the bike with how far it extends and curls up on the the tank console.

Part # checks but I thought it fit low at the tank too. Worst part of it is theres not much to keep me from sliding back on this seat. Im curious to see if anyone else running a Saddlemen Renegade has these troubles

Can't you angle your bars back a bit to compensate? Otherwise give Mean City Cycles a cell as hey can mod any seat (stock or aftermarket. Ride-on!

What’s the part number? Is it the LS or the S3 (Super Slammed)?

Looks great.

But the one thing I’ve learned about seats is the prettier they are, the more uncomfortable and/or problematic they are.

Good luck finding the right fit.
