Default Saddleman seats and Kuryaken wings

Two questions please:

anyone have experience of Saddleman seats, particulary the Road Sofa?

Also, the frame on my Kuryaken dragon wing broke after less than a year. It appears to be a stress fracture near the lower hinge. Anyone else had this happen?

Thanks
Pete

i just bought a saddleman explorer special . a little lower and more forward than the stock rideing position and firmer as well. looks good and gel seems to absorb some vibration but i havent made a long haul on it yet and thats the dealbreaker.

Not the Road Sofa, but I do have the Saddleman Profiler. Great-looking low provile seat, but not the most comfortable. I wish it had just a bit more back support, where one can feel the seatback - just to know it's there. The foam is pretty firm, seat is pretty narrow except in front (where I need it), and the seat material seems to absorb heat. After sitting in the sun for a few hours, the subsequent ride gives new meaning to "hot cross buns".

I have the Kuryakyn Dragon Wings and have had them on my 2007 FLHX for about a year. No problems. Maybe you had the screws torqued down too hard?
