Harley made a really nice seat for nightster. When I bought my nightster back in 2022 there was no such seat yet. So I bought a Corbin custom seat. It also looks and feels much better than original one. Corbin seat has more comfortable passenger pillion if compare with the one from this video tho. OG Adam, could you make a video how to install and connect usb typce-c connector on nightster from nightster special. I know nightster has a placeholder in the same spot where type-c located on nightster special. It would require the whole rewiring tho, but maybe there is a way just to use it as a phone charger, and simply connect power wires only. Thanks
Definitely going to be purchasing the seat. The stock seat is fine if you don't ride aggressively. Under heavy acceleration it sure doesn't inspire confidence. I'm excited to get this seat for rh975
Thanks for sharing and giving your insights. I'm very surprised, considering Harley's old sportster models, how technically evolved and refined they became. Didn't really expect that 🙂, to be honest. Very nice bike!
Hi very nice video 👍 I have 2022 975 Nightster and would be interested in purchasing the seat just wondered how much it was please ? And I see you have a saddle bag and I am also interested in where you purchased that as well please ? I am in the UK
Hello, thank you for the kind words. Both the Switchback Seat and Swingarm bag is directly from HD and the current price is $350 USD for the seat and $200 USD for the bag. You will also need the Swingarm bag support for an additional $50.
This is only the beginning. I am sure GM will do the same with their other models. All other companies are sure to follow... they want a piece of the pie too.
I wouldn’t say that it does, if anything it holds you in place. With the solo seat there were times when I slid myself back to stretch or whatever so you definitely can’t do that with this seat.
That seat is bad.... Not only do they install the tether wire at the wrong spot but also, if you have the HD sissy bar on that bike then it gets in the way of lifting the seat.
The “tether wire” or seat cable has no effect on fueling and leaves ample room to gas up. Having a sissy bar installed does not hinder lifting of the seat, how can it get in the way when the seat is way up front?
@@OGAdam as somebody that has both the HD sissy bar and that seat on his Nightster, I can tell you with 100% certainty that the sissy bar does in fact get in the way of the seat lifting up because of the quick detach mounting points. You clearly do not have one on your bike so for some reason you are making stuff up and claiming otherwise... You can still lift it up but you have to mush part of the seat in for it to clear.... Also the seat only lifts up half as far as it did with the original seat. Is there still room to gas up? Yes, but it's definitely tighter than it was and more trouble than it should be. But what do I know? I don't have a CZcams channel...
Thanks for the feedback, hopefully other viewers who are considering purchasing the seat or sissy bar will find your comments helpful. I am not trying to make anything up, just trying to help those that may need it which is the reason for the channel, which is not even monetized. So let’s keep it positive, no need for sarcastic remarks and ride safe.
So Cool 🔥🔥🔥A huge from Spain 🇪🇸

Thanks for this video. Ordered the seat today!!
Right on, enjoy it! Ride safe ✌🏼
Very nice, impressive. I'm quite interested in this particular new model and maybe in the future I will buy it.

Nice looking bike

@@OGAdamwhich swingarm bag is that?
Single-Sided Swingarm Bag from Harley-Davidson.com
Pretty good
I have one too, it’s been nothing but problems since I got it. It’s at the dealer now, not running.

I put the same seat on my Nightster and what a difference
yes, huge difference
That’s a really nice seat

super sexy bike
By any chance, does the seat scoot you forward any? I’m tall and the solo seat is good for that. I wouldn’t want this seat to move me forward.
I wouldn’t say that it does, if anything it holds you in place. With the solo seat there were times when I slid myself back to stretch or whatever so you definitely can’t do that with this seat.
Looks good.
thank you 🙏🏼
Looks sonmuch better than the stock seat. Is it more comfortable too?
It is very comfortable, nice and snug.
Where did you purchase the seat from ?
Direct from Harley-Davidson

Was checking that nightster out at Harley and just thought of all the possibilities to mod that bike out. Looks awesome!
