- I installed a Lucky Daves Step Up Seat on my 2019 Harley Davidson Road Glide Special. I have about 300 miles on this seat thus far and I love it! Way better than the Saddlemen Step Up Seat. Make sure you browse the channel and subscribe! As always, thanks for watching!

Link to Saddlemen Step Up Seat Review: • HARLEY DAVIDSON TOURIN...
2019 FLHXS and I've got around 7,000 miles on my seat and one thing I can tell you is that it's not a long haul seat IMO. It's a day trip seat at best. Definitely better then the stock seat. Worth it if you don't plan on long rides. Looks great and good construction. 3.5 stars.
I also am on the shorter side and I've been looking for a seat for quite a while for my 19 RKS, this vid helped me decide and you've just earned a subscriber brother. Safe riding out there
With seat height comparisons you should wear the same shoes. I had same issues with height being 5’8” I went with saddleman then Legend Air Suspension. Great videos
Thank you for your videos. I looked at the saddlemen and I am so happy I saw this video. I have a 2017 RGS and I ordered mine tonight! Thanks again for all of your detailed info. I am 5'4 ' so I get it about reaching the ground, but mine is lowered 2 in the front and 2 in the rear. I love my bike!!!
I'm glad I caught your videos because I was really close to buying the saddlemen's seat and I am 5'7 and Lucky Dave's seat will work a lot better. Thanks for doing that review
I bought the Saddlemen Road Sofa LS Heated seat for my 2019 Road King Special....I LOVE it!
Jon Bassett did it break in after a while? Mine feels super hard
@@MultipleInterface yes it did
@@MultipleInterface you can ask saddlemen make super soft to fit you.
Thanks for the review. I appreciate all of the measurements. That really helps out.
Great seat I have one on my 2019 Road King Special. I'm 5'8" but I have short legs, 30" in seam. This seat put me probably at least a half inch closer to the ground than the stock one, and as it broke in i'm pretty much flat footed now. After I adjusted the suspension for my weight 170lbs it is actually a super comfortable ride and feels like I could go all day long
mike Bauer pictures I have 2018 and I’m 6”3 and try find seat but not horrible for passenger also
I have same bike. I’m 5’7” and have a saddleman seat and have progressive 944 low shocks which lowered the bike about 1 1/2 “. Completely flat footed
Looks amazing brother, great reviews!!! Looks forward to more content.. 😎
Edited. Thanks a lot for this video. Answered all my questions and I think I'll get this seat when I can. Awesome. Gotta make sure it's the same measurements for a 2007 street glide though.
Awesome review! I just picked up a 2020 Road Glide Special... I was looking for a seat cuz I am a shorter rider as well. Thanks again!
Great review on both seats especially considering us shorter rider's
Nice video, and beautiful bike. Fun talking to you and your friends up on Clyde Rd & U.S. 23 yesterday.
Thank you, it was nice meeting you as well. Your bike sounded great leaving the gas station!
Great review! And a sweet looking RGS!
Thank you
saying "THE" Saddleman is a bit misleading. dozens of variants for the touring bikes, there is the reach seat and the extra reach seats.
you can also order their special gel padding which breaks in fast. I was about to custom upholster my seat but I am starting to lean towards their step up seat with the backrest that extends out.
What air cleaner are you running on that RG? Really like the look of it! Thanks for the video!
In this video I was running the RSD air cleaner.
Good review buddy I like the seat and your bike thank you keep up the videos
Thank You!
I appreciate the video bro! I am currently about to pull the trigger on a 2019 RGS. If they can get my payments where I want them. I wanted the 18 RGS but the dealership said they can get me in a 2019 so we shall see.
2019 Streetglide Special. Is the seat the Get Lucky, Low Rider, etc? Btw....Good job on the review. I'm 5'6", 205 lbs.
Excellent review bro!!!!
Great choose on the diamond stitch.....looks great
Thank You!
Bike looks great....(i just watched your new video with Motowitch bars...they look great!!)
How does the seat feel now.... 6-7 months after you installed it? all broken in?
I have an '18 RG and I am also a (much) shorter rider (5'3'' to be exact -- 5'6'' with the boots on!) and I am looking for a seat to bring me lower to the ground. Got the super reduced reach seat from Harley, but found it to be uncomfortable. I am use the stock seat at the moment.
Also, what lowering kit did you use?
Anyways, great video!
At first the seat was pretty hard. Loved the way it felt but on long rides it wasn't very comfortable. However, after being broke in it is more comfortable. This seat is great for shorter riders. I hope this helps! I didn't end up lowering my bike..
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS great...thanks for your thoughts and for the reply and info!!! Ride safe!
Man thanks for making this video. I have all the same height issues as you on my sgs and I was literary about to order the saddlemen. Thanks for the comparison 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad I could help! Ride Safe!
Great video very useful for prospective buyers! The seat looks like nice!
Thank you
I would suggest getting a security screw for the seat. somebody could swipe that thing in under 10 seconds.
They'd get shot if they did.
How is the seat on long rides? 250-300 miles or more? Do you feel like you’re sitting close to the tank in the controllers or somewhat stretched out?
I'm about yo buy an RKS. Love the look of this seat. I'm a newbie to motorcycles. My girl is going to want a backrest on passenger seat to feel safe (that I'll remove when riding alone). Will any black Harley passenger backrest match the leather on this seat?
Just wondering where is the link for the thumb screw? Nice review. Thinking about getting one.
i know the saddleman is hard i think it is meant to be that way to that it isn't super soft when it breaks in. i am wondering now after a few months of riding this if it has gotten too soft or if you have changed your mind on the seat? Also is Lucky daves made from the same gel as the saddleman? thanks.
I believe that seat is made by Saddleman for Lucky Dave just a little info I thought you might want
Yes, I knew that and mentioned it in the video. Thanks!
Good review. Thanx for the dimensions.
Do you feel like this seat sits you back a lil further ? I’m looking at the get lucky seat
I have a Saddleman SDC (San Diego Custom) seat with a backrest to put me closer to the handlebars on my 2021 FLTRXS. I’m a short rider on a bagger as well, does the Lucky Dave seat put you closer to the gas tank than the stock seat and/or Saddleman step-up seat?
How do you like the Lucky Dave's seat a year later? I sat on one over the weekend and have been considering purchasing one.
I like it, not comfortable for long rides though..
Where did you get your handle bar? What part no?
I like the seat I tried to order 1 Lucky Daves website said sold out. I’m sure it’s a popular seat Is there another source to buy the seat or do you just have to be in a waiting list?
Unfortunately you just have to be put on the waiting list. No where else to get them unless you can find a used one.
I went with the Corbin/BMC wall seat. I really like it. Nice bike man!
Thank You!
How is the wall seat on longer rides
Angel Vazquez it’s great for long rides. I’ve done 500 mile days with no fatigue.
Hi is the seat is the same height as stock ! I'm 5,8 Thanks
Benoit Desmarteau it’s definitely taller than stock. You might want to go with a different seat.
Thanks for the reviews. I believe when you did the Saddleman review you said you were 5’7 and you were wearing sneakers, and in this video you were 5’6 and wearing boots? Curious.
I noticed that also, that is what was said ... the seat search is still on..
The boots help for sure!
@@chrisfalk2508 Loose an inch in height, gain an inch in shoe sole?
Do you have a video on the tank emblem and saddlebag lettering you put on? I'm really liking the look.
If you go back through my older videos you will find it. I got them from Baum Customs.
Is the stitching grey or silver? Their website has grey but not silver as an option. Was this custom ordered? Great videos.
The stitching is grey..
How is the seat and what color is your stitching? White or Grey?
I love the seat. The stitching is Grey.
Thanks for the review. Question for you...would you say the lucky daves seat is deeper (longer length from front tip to lumbar) than the saddlemen? Did yiu measure by any chance? Thanks man...
The saddleman is actually deeper. From tip to lumbar..
Saddleman is deeper but Lucky Dave's gets you more flat-footed? 🤔
How did you pick the color for the Lucky Dave’s logo? Want to order my seat but don’t see that option.
If there isn't a color option that you like on the site, you can call them and special order it or you can email them and tell them exactly what you want.
I have a quick release back rest and was just wondering if the seat would be compatible with it
I got a 2020 RGS and debating on buying one of these or having the stock seat modified and change the stitching.
The white stitching looks amazing, but I'd be worried that it will start to stain and look grimy over time.
It's actually silver stitching but yeah I see what you're saying.
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS Oh good to know. That will resist the staining a little better I think. I just ordered one but all blacked out. It was a hard call because I really like the look you went with but decided just to play it safe in regards to the stitching.
I sold mine, for me it’s sucked on long rides
Wonder how this would compare to the Drag Specialty Predator III.
Which of the two set you further from tank? I’m tall and need a seat to set me little backward from stock. Also, have you considered Corbin?
The Saddleman sat me further away from the tank..
What are those handlebars?
We are the same height… short at 5.7…. Does this seat push you forward… I did buy the reduce reach from Harley… but used it ones an went back to stock… cheers from Kitchener Ontario
Yes, this seat pushes you forward..
What’s the difference between that one and the “LUCKY DAVES LUCKY BAGGER SEAT_”
I'm looking for a saet for my 2018 street glide but I'm pretty short like 5"2 would u recommend this seat
How are you going with your seat options buddy?
@@hans6304 I ordered a seddlemen road sofa
Hi Where did u buy the saddle bag decals and tank logo?
These ones are from Baum Customs..
Do you feel like your sitting higher or lower in the seat End Are you forward Or more back in the seat Then the stock seat
Sitting lower.
More forward.
Than the stock seat.
What kind of foam or gel did you get?
Is the seat the same height as stock?? I tried the saddleman seat will put u about an inch higher.
It sits lower than stock..
DOOWORK PRODUCTIONS awesome. Thanks for the reply. Ride safe man
Still using this seat ? Returned a saddlemen and now looking for an
alternatives TY
Yes, I love it!
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS i appreciate you answering - great job on all your content.
Doesn’t Saddlemen make Luck Dave seats????
Yes
How do you like the seat long term now
I still like it, but it isn't as comfy as stock..
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS thanks. Think I will stick with stock for now
Just a quick question, whats your inseam? Im looking for a step up style seat for my short ass as well
I have the same seat, but man it kills my tailbone. Do you have that issue and how did you resolve it? How long did it take to break in?
I don't have that issue..
DOOWORK PRODUCTIONS ok thanks.
Looks like you were wearing sneakers when you were trying to Saddleman seat out the lucky Dave seat you’re wearing boots that makes up the half inch difference for you to touch the ground better to me both seats are the same
Was wondering thoughts on passenger. I’m worried about the slant of the back. I have a sissy bar but still worried. Thanks for your time.
If you have a sissy bar, your passenger won't notice the slant back seat. If you don't run the sissy bar, they will slide back easier on acceleration.
DOOWORK PRODUCTIONS ok thank you
Like the seat was just worried. How far reasonable for passenger. Sorry all questions just don’t want buy then regret it. I’m sure not too far. Nice bike!
@@grantbresley5343 If you are planning on riding a passenger majority of the time then I would not Recommend this seat. There are a lot more seats out there that are better suited for riding a passenger..
is your seat the get lucky seat or the lucky dave bagger seat thanks
Lucky Daves Bagger Seat.
You’re going to set a little more flat footed with that lucky Dave seat when you were wearing boots put on the same tennis shoes you had on in the last video then give your comparison and review
So do you like the daves or saddlemen seat better ?
I like the lucky daves seat better.
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS iv emailed them waiting for them to restock most everything has been sold out forever they say a couple weeks
You do realize that the Saddlemen SDC Pro is the same exact seat as the Lucky Dave's...both made by Saddlemen
They are in fact both made by saddlemen, however they are slightly different. I had both of them at the same time and compared the 2.
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS
It looks to me like you had a Saddlemen step up seat not the SDC Pro..they are different
not really .... the seat ever is the Le Pera Maverick
Where did you get the letteting on the bags. I need lettering in red
Baum Customs
Where u get the gas tank emblems???
Baum Customs..
does it put you closer forward?
Yes
What kind of boots are those buddy?
DC Boots
What kind of motorcycle jack are you using can you move your bike around on that
It's just a craftsman motorcycle jack, nothing special, yes you can but its a little sketchy with a big bagger like my bike..
J & S Jack. Well worth it. I have a older uncoated floor and it rolls around great.
Any complaints when riding two up?
Not the most ideal seat for 2 up riding. The rear seat kind of slants back and makes it hard for the girl to hold on lol
Lol damn man I guess the search continues
I thought I saw I 94 Detroit!!
1 year review, dooworks says long rides are uncomfortable.
How is the comfort for the passenger?
Not as comfy as stock seat..
DOOWORK PRODUCTIONS that’s unfortunate to hear, looking for a replacement seat that looks good and is comfortable for a passenger.
Is this a gel seat ?
No
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS thanks !
Did you feel like a putz after you found out that Lucky Dave's seat is manuf. by Saddlemen? lol
Are you guys coming to Texas for Demonology's CZcams call out? We would love to meet up with you all again.
I don't think I will be making that one! Good luck to you guys tho!
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS is Ron coming? I'll have my Scat Pack and Paul will have his Hellcat out there
@@ambermoody9962 I am not sure, I haven't talked to him about it.
It’s vinyl...not leather.
I currently have it on my bike and unfortunately after 30mins my ass beings to hurt.
i haven't been on long rides with this seat yet, but from what I have read, it isn't the best seat for long distance riding.
So you do not recommend it for longer trips?
bro, because you getting paid from luckydave, i don't feel fair for saddlemen who build the seat! I love Saddlemen more and not agree with you at all! ds.
Lucky Daves didn't pay me to make this video... I honestly liked this seat better than the saddleman. To each their own though!
every seat is sold out...FTW
Passenger looks uncomfortable.
This seat is not ideal for passengers..
Almost Everything on that website is sold out 😒🤦🏻♂️
crap!
For those of you that haven’t figured this out yet Dooworks doesn’t ride. He buys stuff, videos stuff and genuinely poses. Geez, let’s not let the bike get dirty....Poser...
HIS BIKE HASN'T EVEN HIT THE 1000 MILE SERVICE YET!!! 🤣LOL
The step-up Reach seat...#52000334
Great for us shorter people and awesome for the passenger as well,the sattlemen and lucky dave's step-up for the passenger is only for looks but Not practical at all,specially for long distance riding.
Hi there what’s The seat like on long distances ????
Its ok but not as comfortable as the stock seat for long distance riding..
Where did you g t the coo gas tank emblem???
Baum Customs
What color stitching you have ?
Silver
