I had the step up seat and it’s a great seat. Just don’t forget the break in period as it starts out a little stiff. After a couple months it really breaks in and gets super comfortable. I just got the renegade solo seat so I could run a solo rack for my tour pack.
I like the way the seat follows the lines of the bike, I hope you like it. You know you bought the right bike when after you get off it you have to looks at it again !
I have a saddleman seat - One thing I was looking for was a seat that would raise my butt about an extra inch and forward a little. The extra height allows a better angle for my mid controls and the inch forward for a closer move to my stock handle bars. I can still flat foot the bike where I am 5' 10".
So I wanted to say thanks for the handlebar riser and top clamp information it came out perfect on my FXLRST 2022. I also recently bought a Saddlemen seat but mine was the explorer with rider backrest. I owned it for one day and took a 2,750 mile ride to Wyoming from California. With the seat, risers and Clokworks windshield it made the ride a breeze. Thanks again Jason.
You’re welcome Sandy ✌🏻 I was hoping you would of been at the NJ practice session to meet you. The Saddlman seat looks better on the bike. Enjoy your trip 🏍️
Pro tip: the Saddlemen SDC Pro comes with a little removable backrest. You can remove that and slide in the full size Saddlemen backrest. Best of both worlds…
There's also a new Tour Step Up seat, that comes with a removable backrest. But you can't go wrong with a classic Step Up. That Mustang seat is too "old man" for me
looks great on the Bike. Reminds me of the old school King/Queen throne seat on old school choppers. Just ordered a Saddleman Road Sofa for my Chieftain...looking forward to some comfortable miles on it. Enjoy the Himalayas.
Looks nice but i find the saddlemen step up looks to sudden and sharp Notice when you first sit on it it doesnt follow your natural curve and leaves a nice big air gap at your lower back.. Keen to hear a longer term review
Great stuff Sandy. Love Saddlemen. Have on both my SG and RG. Most comfortable seat I’ve ever had. Safe travels in India buddy. Hope to see you soon at some event
Great seat . Can’t go wrong with Saddlemen. I have a Saddlemen with orange stitching. Gel pad . Great seat but a bit hard on the long trips . Just picked up a Lepera Tailwhip diamond stitch with foam , so far really comfortable. I went with the Lepera for the old school look also and it has some back support also to keep you on the bike on take offs .
@@HOLYSHIFT it is on the heavy side . They do have metal pans also . I’ll check out the weight between the 2 . Enjoy your trip . Sounds like a great ride
😂 mustang seats are definitely not sporty or cool looking. But they are the most comfortable. I gave up cool looking for comfort last year. I haven’t look back since.
Idk, I think that mustang with bib looks better. The pattern on the mustang could be better, but lines wise I like the cockpit look made by the mustang a lot more.
well put together video -cheers! ...what annoys me about the seat manufacturers though is that there is very little thought about the pillion. I need a seat with a backrest for my pillions - two daughters. That is a logical thing I reckon. But both manufacturers' websites show "bare" pillion seat options. Disappointing. With a stepped seat, I already have a backrest of sorts, and so a single thought for the comfort of the pillion would be much appreciated. It is just something that I find short-sighted on the part of the seat manufacturers....but again, nice video - and very nice bike.
In your seating photos it was clear that the mustang has much better lower back support. Will be interested to hear your feedback after a few thousand miles
The Saddleman goes better cause your bike looks more sporty. I wanted to ask you where did you purchase your Harley bar and shield logo on your fender? Good video 👍
I’m a little biased but if I had to choose one I’ll take a Lepera all day. Especially if you’re looking for a step up style seat. Your boy from Antelope Valley HD.
I have the same problem with my saddlemen step up. I also have the tuck and roll version on my lrs and after about an hour my ass hurts and it makes my nuts go numb. It puts pressure in the wrong areas and cuts off circulation. I'm looking for another seat.
Everyone that buys this bike has to make so many changes to try to make it comfortable. Seats, foot controls , bars.....HD screwed up the ergos on all the softails. Knees too high make these very uncomfortable.
Not impressed with saddleman's service. Been on the phone with them trying to figure out their website to add color stitching.And no one there knows how to do it
Your lowrider build is coming along real nice! Let me know if you want to sell your old Mustang seat...Im looking for one just like that...thanks Regards John

I went with the HD two up tall boy seat. Very comfortable.
Now you need passenger pegs or mini floorboards that can flip up and accent the bike when not in use!! The seat does look better now.
Bung King makes a rear slider/peg that will protect the saddle bags if you drop it. Of course I found out after I got the rear pegs/mounts
Seat looks a lot better. Saddleman produces a great seat.
Saddleman seats the Best out there.. 👍👍👍🇦🇺

Thank you! Brother
The saddlemen def looks better! but we expect to see wheelies after this upgraded seat😂.. enjoy the himalayas sir
😂

Def the right seat for that bike . Good choice sandy
Hey Sandy we missed you at Garden State HD on Saturday but we saw John and Adam ,Be Safe !!
Definitely like the look of the saddleman seat but it’s also about the butt comfort .. enjoy your journey Sandy
Check out V&S vent screens for your fairing . Look hot and man do they work ! .
Looks good

I hear lappera is comfortable- yet very heavy.

Mustang is my go to seat... most comfortable in my opinion :-)
Seat looks great, got the road sofa a few weeks ago and I love it 👍👍
The Sofa is very comfortable
Much better. Might as well flash that AARP card with that backrest lol but glad you upgraded brother!
😂 mustang seats are definitely not sporty or cool looking. But they are the most comfortable. I gave up cool looking for comfort last year. I haven’t look back since.
I love the way the seat looks. Awesome!
Nice looking seat, saddlebag is definitely that latest trend seat. Hope it works out for ya, peace👍

Suites the bike perfectly but I find Sandlemen step up to narrow and to firm. BMC/Corbin for me can’t beat sitting on leather over Vinyl.
Yes first time sitting on the Saddlemen - it’s stiff ! After braking it in , then I’ll give my proper opinion.
Looks great on the bike- now let's ride!!!
You’ll be crying for that back rest 😁
new seat is lookin good dude! Love my Saddelmen
In your seating photos it was clear that the mustang has much better lower back support. Will be interested to hear your feedback after a few thousand miles
It looks like the back rest adds lower back support but the Saddlemen has more lumber support- it’s a deeper seat . Time will tell
The Saddleman goes better cause your bike looks more sporty. I wanted to ask you where did you purchase your Harley bar and shield logo on your fender? Good video 👍
Looks clean ⚡️
Sandy, Great seat. I have a Saddlemen Explorer on my FLHC. Excellent! Are you going to the Great American Convoy on Saturday?
I’ll be riding by the tallest mountains in the world…

🤪
Ran into Cycle Traitor today! What a fanatic!!!
?
Looks way better!!!
MDB did that very feat no more than 5 years ago. On a sporty😂, Himalayas
Have a great trip
Looks great Sandy!!
Looks so much better! 👍
They look a bit too much extreme on the lumbar support straight up pretty much and seems to detract from the line of the bike
I have both Saddleman nicer looking but not as comfortable as Mustang
Like my mustang
Ran both and a Mustang was the clear winner for comfort. But then again Iam an old fuk😂😂😂
Looks great ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤sandy
Good video. Seat looks great
I hate my saddlemen step up. I get 1 hour in if I’m lucky and my ass hurts so bad.
Wow 😮

Mustang looks more comfy.
What fender cover are you using in the rear?
Which was more comfortable
Both are comfortable
I will stay on my Mustang seat , comfort not looks !
I hope the next video is a 128 install
😜

Nice, I'm sure John will have something negative to say about it, lol
Nah… he always tried to convince me to use Saddlemen 😃
I like the Mustang better
