Default I ordered a "Saddlemen Road Sofa" Not to Impressed.... :(

I ordered a Nice Used Road Sofa. It came today and looked like New. I put it all on the bike hoping it will be the best thing my *** ever sat on... Well I sat down and it pushes me so far forward I feel like Im sitting on my NUTS!!!!!

So did I get the wrong seat or is that how they work. Im a BIG DUDE....The factory stock seat works ok till I get into the 100-300 mile ride....Then I start to feel like im sitting on a Crate....

The Tallboy seat is pretty decent, for big doods. I'll get tailbone fatigue after a couple hours, but I have tailbone issues.

Mean City Cycles. They'll shape the seat any way you want and put in memory foam. Much less than a new seat.

Send it back, there's no reason for them not to. If they give you any grief, post further in this thread so we know to blackball the company. Make sure you tell them your going to post them out of business If they even think about not taking it back.

I got it used from a guy. Not going to send it back. I will just pass it on to someone else. I was very disapointed in the way it fits the bike. Up front it looked Great. In the rear around the fender it is kinda short on the sides. You would see the wires under the seat. Oh well no big deal...

I just got mine on Tuesday. Mine was a low profile, custom ordered straight from Saddlemen. Fit, finish and quality are all good. So is the seating position for ME, but I'm a short guy!

I have put about 200 miles on mine so far and I hope it gets better as it breaks in. This thing is HARD AS A BRICK! It has my butt aching within about 50 miles...

Everyone says give it about 1000 to break in but I don't know. It sure was a big $$$ investment.
