  • In this video, I give you my impressions of the Saddlemen Road Sofa LS after riding with on the Street Glide Special for 1,000 miles. The Saddlemen Road Sofa LS is a high quality seat to run on the Street Glide Special or any of the Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles. The Road Sofa LS has GelCore technology that reduces the impact of the Street Glide Special's engine vibration and the road. The Road Sofa LS has a separated driver seat from the lumbar leading to no tailbone pressure. The Road Sofa LS has been a game changing seat for me. The Road Sofa LS and the San Diego Customs Pro Series seats are excellent choices. The Road Sofa LS provides comfort for those all day rides.

    I have recently purchased a Saddleman Road Sofa Carbon fiber with silver stitching and love it. Replacing the stock seat for rider and passenger comfort was necessary. I considered others such as Mustang, Corbin etc. and was not happy with the styling and reviews from the competitors seats.
    The fit, finish and construction of the Saddleman is superior to the others.
    I just returned home from a week of riding the coastline and wasn’t sore at all. The blend of the gel and foam works very well. The seat height did raise me up about an inch from the stock seat though. I would recommend this seat over the others all day long.

Especially if you’ve extended the floorboards, shifter, and rear brake pedal. Night and day difference from stock. Oh and I bought 6 cans of the Sprayway cleaner yesterday. 😂

      For comfort you can't beat the road sofa. The SDC does look awesome but not good for a passenger at all. I recently added the Saddlemen Step Up Tuck and Roll to my CVO.

    Hi, Rick. I've got the Step-Up "Gripper" on my '21 Street Bob. Have put 9K miles on the bike and seat, and friggin' LOVE it! Couldn't agree with you more. Plan to add a RKS to the fleet later this year and am considering the Road Sofa, as well as the Step-Up SDC. Which do you recommend for a RKS? Thank you.

    • @HDVIBE
      @HDVIBE  Před 2 lety +1

      I think it depends on what type of riding you plan to do. If not long distance then my choice is the SDC. It looks cool and is comfortable. Obviously if you will be laying down big miles, I'd recommend the Road Sofa. Both are great in my opinion.

    I have had a Saddlemen LS Slim on my RKS since 1000km. What is my experience so far?
    The saddle is 2cm higher so I catch more wind behind my windsplitter screen.
    It is firm but catches potholes and vibration better. After 2 hours of highway I do get a pain in my ass. The whole day inside roads I don't have that.
    The saddle is porous so you have to take the rain cover with you (the SDC saddles do not have that cover!).
    I am satisfied and it looks great! costs here in Holland $675!!!

    And do they custom make them to fit the rider or do they just make them with said material? I know some of the other seat companies like Day-long take all kinds of measurements and ask all kinds of questions but of course you really pay for those.

      Saddlemen makes the seats for specific bikes. They do some custom stitching and the like but don't really change how the core seat is built. I'm not sure if the build seats for Victory but I'd suggest checking out www.saddlemen.com or giving them a call. 👊👍

      Thanks Joe for watching and commenting. The Road Sofa sits you similar to an Ultra Limited Stock seat. It will sit you higher than a stock Street Glide seat.

      The Road Sofa will definitely work on your bike. It does set you up about an inch higher than does the stock seat. I would suggest trying one on a demo basis. If your local Harley dealership sells Saddlemen seats, they typically will let you try one out on your bike for the day...at least they do so at my local dealership.

      The Road Sofa will actually set you just a but higher than a stock street glide seat. Another option that sits you closer to the ground and is slim at the tank is the Saddlemen Touring Step up. The lowest Saddlemen seats I have used are the Saddlemen Slim or the San Diego Customs by Saddlemen. Check out the video I out out comparing 4 Saddlemen seats for a good overview.

    • @HDVIBE
      @HDVIBE  Před rokem

      Thanks for watching and commenting Richard. I have never noticed and gap between the seat and the tank. The Saddlemen seat pan is much more rigid than the stock seats. You don't get much if any flex on the Road Sofa from the Pan so the weight on the rear of the seat does not cause the front of the seat at the tank to rise up. The slot on the seat is very snug into the receiving tab near the tank. I hope that helps with your question. If you have already subscribed to the channel, thank you.

My a$$ hurts so bad, and my legs dam near fall asleep. I am a bigger guy, im 5'10" and about 330 pounds. Maybe this seat is not made for a big boy. I had high hopes for it. I will try to get to 1000 miles B4 returning it, but as of right now, its not looking good.
