Jason, my FXR Brother. It's been a bit. This season I put the Saddleman SDC seat on 1990 FXRS-SP. I had the same problem with the hinge holes lining up. Agree, When riding in the Catskill mountains here in NY the seat does keep you planted when hammering turns, also feels good on the back. Make sure you keep all your factory FXR parts, hard to find & when you do big $$$. Great review. Keep at least 1 wheel on the ground my brother.
The SDC that's the real show stopper model, nice choice! I stash all my factory stuff too, you just never know when you might need it. Thanks for watching as always my friend!
Nice video man, thanks! I put 6k miles on my Saddlemen Step Up seat this season and it performed well. Certainly much better than the stock seat! Its firm out the gate but has formed up nice over 6k miles. I've ridden as long as four and five hours on rough twisties in the Maine mountains.
Thanks for the review and all the info prior when I was buying one for my FXR. Work this summer and still currently has me to busy to even ride smh.. I sat the seat on the bike to see the look…beautiful. Then took back inside an has sat in box since. Still don’t regret the purchase tho after the slide my old seat has.
That seat looks right at home when you get it mounted. There will be plenty of time to ride, work has phases like that for me too. Glad the videos helped out ride safe! 🤙🏼
It looks very uncomfortable. It looks nice but I got one like that for my dad and we had to send it back because it was like sitting on concrete lol 😂. Definitely looks great 👍. As long as you’re happy with it that’s all that matters! Lay a sweatshirt over your seat while you’re at work bro 😎. Thanks for sharing!
Hahah I love it, but it’s definitely not for everyone. That is a good idea about the sweatshirt I’m taking note of that. I appreciate the support sir! 👊🏼
Riding- Not sure what seat you had of ours but they do require a bit of a break-in period. Typically about 350 miles before they relax and conform to the rider and passenger. Let us know if you ever have questions we can help answer- we're always here to help. Thanks!
I have a 91 FXRS Lowrider, thinkin of this seat , I like it on my 2020 Lowrider S, so I'm familiar with this product. Question ❓ is , does the seat move around without the rear bolt ? Especially for the passenger . I really want to install it with the use of the hinge . Just wondering, bout if I should add the thumb bolt and tab to the back. I'd appreciate what your thoughts are on this . Thanx Steve
If you have the latch that goes with the hinge it won’t move. Without the latch, you will definitely need that thumb bolt. Hopefully that helps you out!
Good review man!! I would say 98% of the reviews I've seen on any saddlemens seat has been very positive!
I saw the same during the buying process and was hesitant, because I didn't know if they were sponsored or not lol. Thanks for watching sir!
@@freebirdsgarage good point!!

Sounds like some awesome roads to rip on, to put the Step up through the test. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the long-term review Jay, we appreciate it. By the way the bike looks great! Thanks again.
Thank you! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!
@@freebirdsgarage Indeed we did and we appreciate it as well. Thanks

Nice review! I hear a lot of good things about Saddlemen seats. I've been thinking of swapping out my current seat for one lately.
I appreciate that Mike! They are definitely worth looking into. They look pretty dope on the road glides too 👊
Let us know what you like NVA- we will build it!
Damn, how'd I miss this? Really good review Jay!
No worries man! I appreciate the support as always!
Lookin good man turning out real clean ⚡️👊🤙
Thank you, I appreciate that!! 👊🏼
I have the Le pera step up seat. Best investment I've down for my bike. You can't go wrong with a step up.
Yes sir, Le Pera is head to head with Saddlemen too. I need to get one and compare them side to side 🤔
@@freebirdsgarage my brother in law has the Saddleman and to be complete honest I can't tell the difference. You can't go wrong with either one.
@@ronsharleytwistedstella9200 that’s awesome, both are the best looking in my opinion. Makes the bikes 👌🏼

@@saddlemenusa I don’t think it was made by you guys but it was a very similar seat. No worries thanks
@@RidingHumboldtCounty Ahh 10-4, well we're here just the same should ya' ever need anything

I have a saddleman step up, can't stand it!
I appreciate the honest opinion. Thank you for watching!
I have one for sale in great condition for cheap myself...
@@BAsed_AFro good luck!
Great review. Been looking at these and the le pera tail whip. Also what risers and bars are on that bike?
Thank you! 🙏 the bars are bung king and drag specialties for the risers.
@@freebirdsgarage what size risers and do u know the model of the bars??
@@fvgc454ss The risers are 6.5 inches with a pull back. The bars are from Bung King - CR high bend not extra high.
@@freebirdsgarage awesome thanks. I like that set up. I cant stand 10+" risers had some n hated the feel when cornering hard
@@fvgc454ss You're welcome! It's awkward at that height and depending the rider's height too.
What’s your average ride time?
1 to 2 hours about
