There are a lot of options for seats and most of which are expensive but I believe I've found the only seat I'll recommend from here on out.

There is no one best seat for any motorcycle…perception of comfort differs greatly among riders.

I put a Saddlemen King 2-Up seat on my '03 Dyna earlier this year and after about a thousand miles on it, I love it. It feels great, the quality is incredible and, while a bit pricey, it's worth every cent of the $650 (give or take) I paid for it. I can't imagine anything better, but that's me.

@wesmak9 Месяц назад

I love my Mustang seat, and if you get one with heat, it comes with the correct plug for the Harley accessory harness. No stripping & crimping with wires which makes things difficult when you want to remove the seat. That's what sold me. Plus it is damn comfortable on my Ultra Limited.

I got the heated Mustang super deluxe touring with back rest and tourpak back rest for my 2021 CVO Limited. Much better than the stock seat which already was tearing. I chose it because the harness plugged into the stock harness and the tourpak back rest came complete for mounting. The Saddleman would send the cover you had to have place over your existing backrest frame

I just finished a 4k+ mile trip atop my Saddlemen Explorer LS seat with the backrest on my Low Rider ST and felt great. In fact, I rode 900 miles on the last leg in 17hrs. No problems! I was so glad I bought that because I use to stop every 50 miles and take a 20-minute break. My previous trips would take 10-12 hrs to go 300 miles. Now I can do that in 5hrs.

@markgreen2488 Месяц назад

I have owned both Mustang and Corbin through the years. I think that the Mustangs are the way to go. I currently have their touring saddle, passenger backrest and saddlebag lid covers on my 2017 Ultra Limited. The Corbin was good, but being real leather, it required a lot of additional care to maintain its good looks. I actually took it off the bike for routine washings. The Mustangs just need a good wipe down, and occasionally something like Armor All to keep the vinyl looking new. And because it is marine grade vinyl, I leave it on the bike for washing.

@scottfavire6589 27 дней назад

I took the stock seat from my '15 Street glide special and gave it to a buddy of mine. He replaced the stock foam with a memory foam, and the gel they use in horse saddles. Best thing i ever did on that bike. Could ride it 700miles/day without thinking. Have a '23 Ultra limited now with the mustang super touring...great seat. And i'm 6'2 325ibs.

I think Saddlemen seats are good, but until they put the same plug as Harley has for accessories, you still gotta strip wires if you choose the heated seat. That's why I like my Mustang Seat! Plug n Play with the correct plug already wired to the seat. No stripping wires & crimping wires to make seat removal more difficult later.

So, maybe I'll go ahead and get the Saddlemen ER, and include my two HD seats in my next garage sale. Thanks for the info!

Thx for another very helpful video! I am about the same size as you and riding the stock seat on my 23 sgs. I can reach everything ok, but want something more comfortable, and dont want farther back or higher off the ground, especially with a suspension upgrade out there for me.

Saddlemen seats...are ok. I bought one for my Fatboy and it was a huge improvement from the old beat up stock seat, but leaves me desiring more. I borrowed my buddies Mustang seat and a Corbin seat a while back and wished I would have bought one of them instead. Seems like a lot of people pushing the Saddlemen seats are getting some kick back from the company, not a ton of folks out there recommending them who purchased them with their own cash.

Gel is comfortable. My problem with it is it is a heat sponge. I put some inserts in a seat long ago and the bike would sit outside work during the day. When I rode home, my nuts got broiled every day. All seats will get hot sitting in the sun, but that gel held the heat and dispensed it over my hour ride home everyday. I've since become a fan of Airhawks...

@chrisnunes60 Месяц назад

I see you have bag guards. The saddleman website says the road sofa will not fit with saddle bag guard bars. Does that mean it will only work with the CVO style guard pegs?

@testflight06 Месяц назад

Appreciate the review. Looking for a seat for my 2023 CVO RG. Looked at Saddlemen Road Sofa CF but, states "Will NOT work with Harley saddlebag guard bars" Did they have to do anything special to your seat to get it to fit over the guards? If not perhaps they are referring to the CVO ST style saddlebag guards.

@NVET92 Месяц назад

I have the Saddlemen Road Sofa CF seat on my 24RG, and had it on my 23 CVO SG as well. If you have the traditional stock saddle bag guards (large curved type), this seat will impinge against the upper attachment points of the guards. But, the seat will fit, you just have to apply slight downward pressure to attach the seat to the rear fender. This causes the sides of the seat to bulge slightly, another words "not a perfect fit". Both my bikes have the large curved saddle bag guards, but I still was able to secure the CF Road Sofa to both bikes. The bulging is noticeable, but not excessive. And the seat feels great.

@testflight06 Месяц назад

@@NVET92 Thanks for the detailed response! Much appreciated! I had a Harley Hammock on my 19 CVO Ultra and had no issue but, the stock seat on this 23 CVO RG feels like sitting on a board (to me anyway). I'm also looking at Mustang as I'm a little skeptical of seats (like Saddlemen) that require a break-in period. Thanks again!

Hmmm, just heard you mention back surgery. I just had back surgery and I can no longer ride dirtbike. However, Dr. did say I can get back on the street. Used to have a Harley Davidson Road glide but now I’m looking at a Challenger. I gotta ask what type of back surgery did you have and how do you feel now that you’re on a motorcycle with the back surgery? Of course I realize everybody’s different, but just curious. My surgery was a lumbar fusion.

Saddleman tells me they won't warranty a seat with saddlebag guards. They said the guards rub on the seat and it will create an issue. I noticed you have the new style guards - how bad is the interference? I have the same bike, but I'm 6'2" and really want to scoot back farther from the tank. I've used corbin gamblers in the past - but they were never great for long rides. I hate to spend this kind of money if they won't warranty it - and I like the guards.
