I had two stock Harley seats crack from side-to-side, midway back with less than 10K miles on each. I weigh 185 lbs. Base was plastic. I replaced both with Mustang seats which have fiberglass bases. No more problem.
Years ago, I had a Kawasaki Vulcan seat with a very soft filler that felt great for the first 15 minutes. After that, I was sitting on the steel base. I sent it off to a specialist who shaved off the top 1.5" of foam and replaced it with high density foam which felt hard for the first 15 minutes and after that, it was extremely comfortable. It stayed with the bike when I sold it.
Never, ever buy a seat that feels good on the showroom floor. Take it for a long ride.
I haven't tried Saddlemen yet, but I have their saddlebags which are very high quality. Yes, I got them from RevZilla.
Where do I find your specialist or any specialist, love my Corbin but not long rides, kills my butt
Got a saddleman stepup last yeah and it's hands down best accessory I've put on my bike! Insanely comfortable seat and changed the look drastically! Love these seats!!!
I absolutely love my Saddlemen step up seat. I had a stock solo seat on my 07 V-Star 1300 when I bought it, I rode it that way for 3 years while searching and researching different seats. Finally I saw 2 different CZcamsrs (Blockhead & Her Two Wheels) recommend the Saddlemen step up. I checked them out and decided to go with them. The day after I got it I took a 350 ride. 110 miles each way to a fund raising run, then 130 miles on the run. The first 300 miles I said to myself that I could go another 200 miles no problem. Well that last 50 miles was unbearable. However I haven't had any similar issues since and I've put 250-400 miles on in a day numerous times since. I believe that I just broke in my seat on that first ride and it now fits my tuckes perfectly!
I put on the sportster I had. I found it a bit hard but I picked that seat out more in an emergency because of its looks. I was in the middle of making a long trip when I got because my stock seat kept making my leg fall asleep. Mine was a step up. I actually used it on some rather long trips for a long time and it did a great job at hiding the damage I had done to my paint when I was hauling luggage with the stock seat
At the very start of this video the seat on the right looks extremely comfortable and appears to offer lower back support. I put a 2-piece Mustang seat on my Harley years ago and I like it just fine, but that 1-piece Saddlemen seat looks even better.
I have the Dominator solo and passenger seat on my 2011 Dyna Fat Bob. I love the seat and my lady says she loves hers too! I highly recommend Saddlemen seats.
EXCELLENT video as always. Love your input and super-positive attitude. Looking forward to my next bike.
I put a road sofa on my 2018 RGS last summer, put about 8k miles. This saddle is worth every penny and looks awesome. Hat tip to Saddlemen.
Saddlemen Lutzka was one of the best additions to my bike.
Saddlemen makes the best seats in the industry. I'll always go to Saddlemen when I need the perfect seat!
You are the man!! I was just ready to order the wrong seat from Amazon, which would have cost me obviously in many ways. I'm 6" 3" and my gonats sit on my tank. So, I am going to look for the appropriate seat that will give me more space. Thanks a lot !!
Really wish we had more touring options for the
18 fatbob. ( I know , it’s not a touring bike ) but that sofa looks perfect for us.
Great video, I will be looking at riding on a saddleman.
Can't wait to see how it works on my iron1200 I ordered the step up about three weeks ago, probably have to wait two more weeks for it is finally going to be here in the Netherlands tough.. Great Video Lemmy, thanks a lot Revzilla!
Its finally in, i love how it sits for the rider. But it is a really hard ride for my passenger she says it hurts after 15 mins.. it is a shame we now can not go on the trips we planned together.. But yeah im going solo now.. guess the iron wasnt made for two up anyway.
Peace and love
@@dionreload hey Scheelt dat veel als je via hun besteld vergeleken met bv een nederlandse webwinkel?
Was namelijk van plan leatherpros en zo'n zadel te bestellen.
Bought a Saddlemen step up for my 2018 RGS and I couldn't be happier.
I'm thinking about getting a Renegade Solo seat.
just ordered a tuck and roll step up for my low rider st. looking forward to replacing the stock seat.
Where the seat comes i contact u could use a thick transparent vinyl. I use it for rock chips on my car in the wheel arches
I bought the step up seat for my 2010 fxdwg. After about 15 minutes of riding, my junk is completely numb. No its not my mounts. The gel is awesome though. It got rid of my tailbone pain, but it sucks to have my junk going numb. Not a pleasant ride. I would return it if I could.
In your opinion, whats a better touring seat? The La Pera Maverick or the Road Sofa? I ride a 2012 Street glide
Thanks Lemmy,great review on a great seat.👍
running the step up seat on my sporty and i love it. will get another for my next bike as well. all day comfort
Did it lower the seat height at all? I need about half an inch less height but dont want to sacrifice to much ride quality while 2 up.
@@asdlbvlgbb123456789 im not sure but it made me feel more like i was sitting "in" the bike rather than "on" the bike. Plus it moved me back an inch or more and made me feel more comfort.
@@matthewdaniel6920 thanks for the information man!
doesnt work on the trike freewheeler
Will the saddlemen road sofa extended seat reach LS seat for the 883 Harley?
Who do SM step up on touring bike? I really like the look of the seat, i just wonder of its good for a long mile trip.
Thanks for the info very informative. I'm 5'11 w/b on 6'1 I enjoy cruising hwy and city. I'm very partial to the saddlemen step up for that lumbar. Knowing this what's your opinion out of the three seats you've shown.
I’m roughly 6’1 at around 250lbs. The step up seat is very nice looking but as far as longer rides, it’s not that comfortable in my opinion.
have a 2020 street glide, I'm 5'8 and my feet are not flat on the ground and I would like for them to be. which saddlemen solo seat would you suggest for me?
Which seat do you think makes your leg more planted to the ground.. the Step-up or the LS slim?
Any recommendations for a Honda Rebel 500?
I just got mine delivered today. It really looks great on my streetbob!
What style did you get? I also have a Street Bob and have been wondering which type of saddlemen I want.
@@itsYovez Me too. I am looking to try and get my footing more flat to the ground by getting a seat that is lower profile. Did this help you at all? I have a 2021 Street Bob
I was looking at this seat but wasn't sure as I was told it would need a while before it actually became comfortable, is this true? My wife and I ride 2 up and do not do a lot of long journeys, thoughts on a seat? We usually ride for a few hours and Im about 6'1.

I wish this video came out a few week ago. I just came back from an 8 day 2900 mile road trip, and the stock seat on my 2018 road king was terrible!
I’m looking for a seat to push me a little forward on my 2023 Road King Special
What would u recommend for a shorter guy wirh a taller passenger lol
Do you show helmets?
Saddleman was my first choice but can't get the seat I really want
Looking for seat for 1980 sporster
I have a 2019 street glide special I'm looking for comfort for long rides and style. My height is 5'11, which one can you recommend me better for me or other brand? I'm open for suggestions
Well a wide touring seat from Saddlemen, Mustang, etc. will be most comfortable, but whether you like the styling is totally up to you. Your height puts you right in the middle, so you don't need a reach seat or daddy longlegs seat. -DrewZilla

Your video there you're showing a sportster looks like an iron and it's got some scrambler pipes where I call mid height pipes In your video and do it have baffles I've come across 3 different manufacturers of them and None of them got baffles You have to have baffles and If you don't you lose your bottom and Your mid range can you please tell me what brand Pipes and if it does have baffles in it pleasethat that you have in this video please
I cannot find a saddleman seat which is made for shorter people like the harley reach seat. Could you recommend something? I have a new fat bob
The closest options to the Harley reach seat but from Saddlemen are the Renegade Solo and Profiler seats. -DrewZilla

Great job 👏
Hi, are these seats black or grey? I have an all black bike and want the seat to match. I've seen pics online and they look grey??
They're black, but keep in mind that gloss black paint has a different color quality than a black seat. -DrewZilla
Saddlemen was the cheapest seat I could get for my bike. The first one I got had a minor flaw, they paid for shipping it back, both ways, and had my replacement to me in under a week. The seat fits great, weathers really well and is incredibly comfortable. I couldn’t be happier with it and then as a company.
Am I the only one who always sees saddlemen seat always for used resale?
Waiting on mine and I guess I need to ride on this seat for 900 years TO Compensate THE COST....
I miss lemmy
Don’t get the pro tour seat for a touring model, it’s not low profile whatsoever. Stock Harley seat was actually better
Lemmy has style.
I’m a serious long distance rider. Over 30 IBA rides and three Hoka Hey challenges. This is one of the worst seats beyond 500 miles a day. I would have never completed 1000 a day sitting on the Saddleman.
Interesting. Do you have a particular favorite?
What’s a good seat?
🤨 so saddleman dont make a roadsofa for shorter riders I was hoping they did. Looking for one that can sit me 1.5 -2' lower on my 07' Flhrc and for long trips 🙄
Saddlemen or Mustang?
It's really a personal preference, as both are reputable brands. Some people like gel seats, in which case they tend to like Saddlemen. Those who don't like gel seats tend to prefer Mustang. -DrewZilla
@@RevZilla I have a Mustang on mine. My local shop was saying that was what they'd had the best customer reviews from. They had a bike in with a Mustang Vintage solo that I was able to sit on... that cinched it for me. Might try a Saddlemen on my upcoming bike project though...
If it's a touring bike, none better than Russell.
@@hubster4477 Doesn't Russell reuse your "stock" pan?
@@MegaBgibbs I'm pretty sure they use your original pan. Best seat I've ever had and a favorite of the iron butt riders. Give em a call, super friendly and helpful.
What about short riders? Only mention tall riders!
Short riders should stick to tricycles 😀
@@biglou7041 dammmmmmnnnnnnn
LOL.. glad to see saddleman moving right along, but I dont buy/agree with the presenter's points
Ya wish I had $500 laying around...
If you own a motorcycle you apparently did
If your comfort means anything to you you'll find a way to save the money or finance it.
If you want comfort, ask the iron butt riders what they like. Hint Russell.
Road sofa like sitting on a BRICK!
Corbin seats are the best I’ve ran across
They suck 1500 miles and still hard as a rock
Laam Custom seats are the best.
And you know this how?
I'll stack up Russell against them.
Hahaha "tookaush"
Saddlemen? I'd rather use Ultimate Seats. Nuff said.
looks don't gain comfort, Hardest seat made don't buy it if you have sever back problems & sever arthritis in the back ! This seat gets soaking wet you need a heated sofa seat to dry it out,still a crappy seat ives place saddle soar on it to soften it up left it in the hot sun 24/7 still remained very hard . Takes a rhino to seat on it to loosen up. If your selling your Harley, it is a great looking seat to help sell your bike. Not the solution for touring.
