  • I've done a lot to this 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide in a very short period of owning it. It looks great and the technology is awesome, but I find myself not riding it as long and as much as I do my other motorcycles because of this one giant thing that I couldn't overcome until....
    The solution to solve my issue with my 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide.

    That seat looks so much better. A significant improvement to the lines of the bike.

    I love my LePera Tail Whip.. I have owned 7 harley baggers being a lanky 6'3" guy, the Daddy Long Legs Tail Whip is the best seat you can buy if you ever ride with a passenger.. I first tried the saddleman, and hated it, then drag specialties predator3, it put me in a good spot but was hard as a rock and the rear section was terrible then went to the LePera Kickflip, which was fine for me but the worst of all three for her.. I would have to take any of them off for her to ride more than about 20min at a time, she was uncomfortable enough to complain about hurting her (gooch) and feeling like she sliding off, and just making her not want to ride much at all.. The Tail Whip has solved it all.. A couple months ago we rode a bit over 4hrs to Nashville TN, with only one 2 quick fuel and piss stops.. That flip up is perfect for her, (maybe not for big bottom/heavy girls) but I haven't got one single complaint in 3 years on it.. Also the flip up section just looks cool and accents my bike.. I get so many compliments on it and I am surprised that not many people run that seat.. Plus the way you can custom order them to whatever you want is awesome, I have a metallic silver glide, and the bit of silver stitching I had added really looks great.. I'm a LePera guy for life..

    Being 6' plus, finding a seat that give me an extra inch or so back is the hardest thing to find. I'm with you Tall, Lepera has become my default over the years. I have a 24 Street Glide and need to sit back a little for comfort. The stock seat is one of the best stock seats I've experienced from the factory. Great content and good work!

    I had three LaPera Maverick seats on three different Road Glides. I got the seat because I liked the way it looked. But the seats were not that comfortable and on long miles, I grew to hate it. I switched to the Corbin Classic Solos and I'm so glad I did. Now 1000 mile days are easy to do for me.

    I saw where Matt Laidlaw put a Saddleman with 2" extended reach on his bike. A seat can definitely make a huge difference in how the bike feels. I sat on the new Road Glide and I felt like it fit me well being 6' tall. The La Pera looks nice. For me I don't care what anyone else thinks of my bike or anything on it. They can do what they want to their bike. As long as you are happy with your choice that is all that matters.

    I struggled with the same thing don’t like the big ugly seats but if you want comfort, that’s what you gotta go with. I finally ended up with a big seat, but it’s a pillow top so it looks pretty good with the old school.

    I am a big fan of the Rush seats. Super comfortable for me and my wife. We rode 12 hours a couple of years ago on a Le Pera to Sturgis. Both my wife and I had issues with our hips.

  • @allborosnyc4544
    @allborosnyc4544 Місяць тому

    I'm 6'3" and I know your feeling. Too bad we can't significantly lower the floor boards or get a decent forward extension on the floor boards so the knees won't be too high. Sometimes I feel my knees are gonna clock my eyes, lol.

    @grumpyoldretiredcop8382 2 місяці тому

    I'm nowhere near as tall as you but had the same complaint, being crowded up against the tank. A Le Pera Maverick Daddy Long Legs solved that problem! Of course, then there's needing bars with enough pullback so I'm not leaning way forward but that's all part of making it mine.

  • @DanielTojcic
    @DanielTojcic 2 місяці тому

    You need to change your bars/risers (not sure why you have pullback), it looks so cramped. Also switch to forward controls and it will change everything. Check out straight risers and motocross bars, OG Moto has nice stuff

    Hey what's up Tall.. That La Pera is a good looking seat. I went with the Saddlemen Road Sofa on my '24 Road Glide.. me being close to your height (I'm 6'4") I had a problem with being on the tank as well. The road sofa pushed me back 2 inches and now it's PERFECT. I wish I had known about or had access to La Pera to try them out before going with the Saddlemen. I'm happy, but I also like to know what options are available to me. Enjoy the new seat bro! 👍🏾
