Default Saddleman Seats

I've read many seat threads and mostly on Mustang, HD and Mean City Seats. I haven't read any comments on Saddleman seatr for touring bikes. Question -- does anyone have a Saddleman seat on their touring bike especially Road Glides and if so would you buy it again?

I have one. I use it on long trips and would purchase one again. The seat does need some seat time to get seasond. I know that sounds strange but the seat gets better the more time you spend on it.

Before you buy a Saddleman, do yourself a huge favor and read this:

I had one on my Wide Glide (Saddleman Explorer) for 5 years and never had a problem with it. It was a great seat. Maybe (from the tone of some other posts,) their quality has fallen recently. But, when I had mine (2002-2007) it was well made & high quality. I have a Sundowner on my SG and was skeptical at first because it was a Harley seat. But, I wouldn't trade it now. Very comfortable for 200,300,400, or 500 mile days.

I appreciate your responses, insights, links to previous threads and recommendations. I know now what I won't buy.
