I had the same seat on my road king, it was a love hate relationship. The workmanship and seating position was top notch. The problem I had was I believe was the jell in the seat. I have Khrome work’s header pipe and tuned. Anything over 75 degrees my butt and boys would get very warm. Also have wind deflectors behind the heads. I loved the riding position keeps you planted, I hated the heat. Good luck, keep up the Great Job 👍😎

Man she looks so comfortable lol. My street glide had the 2lane life carbon with the tuck and roll gripper and I love that seat so much. I just got a 2011 road glide and it has the saddlemen lattice stick and it's super comfy. I myself prefer the step up tucking roll. But it's your bike lol and I think the seat looks great on there. Remember you're not getting any younger either😂

I'm a RoadSofa simp, I just finished a 1600 mile round trip and was good to go at the end of every day with that set and backrest.

@babybugspaw7085 3 месяца назад

I have same similar bike, black and chrome 2023 Road Glide Standard and I have Mustang Touring seat with backrest because I fractured my 2 lowest vertebrae’s and fractured my pelvis all the way around it from a drunk driver 38 years ago therefore my lower back can hurt severely on longer trips and the backrest saves me. Bike is already looking great John.

I also do the passenger peg ride position when riding, you can sit like that for a while, you can also lean forward with your feet on the back pegs and stretch your back. That plus highway pegs and you get a lot of positions when riding long distance.

@CYCLEFANATIX 3 месяца назад

Exactly

@Madmaxthundrdome 3 месяца назад

Black Jack is coming together so nice!!! Love the new seat 💺dare I say it rivals most cvo seats. Looks amazing and I’m sure so comfortable. I love the direction you’re going with this build i’m planning on getting a street glide all blacked out but other than that difference you and I are spot on on this build. I want something that has a little bit more performance than stock, but definitely touring oriented and cosmetically upgraded so needless to say you’ve got me hooked on this build. I’m with you all the way brother. Great job so far. 🤙🏽😎

Hey John. Thank you so much for the effort you put in this channel and the joy you bring to us. I am following every episode and not only love the motorcycle content, I also like your style and the nice guy you are ;-) Black Jack ist slowly developing to a beauty, congrats for your choice. In last episode I´ve been astonished that these custom dynamics rear light are really legal in the US. Not because of the looks - they are beautiful - but because of the huge repositioning from the stock lights. These custom dynamics lights seem to be minimum 2 to 3 inches mor e to the inside of the bike and I think they are not really directly visible if you have an angle mofe than 30-40° degrees from the backside. From the side they should be even invisible. You are really lucky if there is no problem in the US with these, in Europe they wouldnt be legal, I am pretty sure. Maybe the are so bright to compensate this fact a little bit ;-) I hope you dont get in any traffic situation where this can be a disadvantage for you. As you always say, safety ist the most important thing on a motorcycle. We dont want you to get hurt my friend, thats all!!! :-D Hope you have an wonderful time with this bike and I cant wait to see more coming. Best greetings from Europe...Norbert

Those Custom Dynamics filler lights pose a real safety issue in that they cannot be seen very well from the side at night. Love the seat as Saddleman products are the benchmark for the seat industry.

Waiting on my Saddlemen Road Sofa CF Ext Reach, no backrest, for my 2024 RG (Whiskey Fire & Chrome). Love the brand, wish my other Saddlemens (pre 2023) fit the 23 CVO, 24 bikes. Looking forward to following your build on your new 24RG.

@ernestoluzan 3 месяца назад

@@IveAlreadyWon The mustang deluxe is a fantastic seat. I tried a harley Tallboy and a Saddlemen road sofa for 3,000 miles each. The Tallboy sitting position was ideal but the cushioning was not. The Saddlemen was beautiful to look at but after almost 3,000 miles still gave me tail bone and back pain. I had a rider back rest for both of those seats. The mustang felt immensely better even after a few hundred miles. Now each time I sit in my bike, it feels like it’s molded to me.

@russstclair5293 3 месяца назад

I ordered the same seat, but the extended version as I hate sitting up on the tank even though we're the same height. Mine is still being built, not sure how you got yours so fast, pays to have friends 🤣. My first time with a backrest, but everyone says once you have one you won't go back. Can't wait for mine to come in! It just went to sewing but I'm hoping to get it before the 20th as I have a big ride that weekend. Loving the videos!

I like the one I have, it looks sleek and flows great with the lines of my bike, but I love to RIDE FAR!! Lol. So I'm going to have to upgrade i think , and Saddleman is my choice. I still put on a good 4000 - 5000 miles a season, with the Harley Badlander Seat I have, but a better one i know I will definitely put on more miles. Plus living up here in Massachusetts, the weather doesn't always cooperate. I ride a lot after I get out of work, through the country roads and out to the Cape because the traffic is not so bad during the week . Keep up the great work and ride safe 💯🤘🏻
