My choice would be Saddleman for the simple reason it covers the fender,I have a cross bones and want to get rid of solo seat and just bought detachable back rest so I can but my T-bag on.With the 2 up bag will be on seat and not fender saving paint.Its all a personal choice.
I went with the SDC Saddlemen seat for my Sport Glide and love it. The extra back support is great and it looks excellent on the bike. The width of the Mustang seat although initially comfortable will get annoying after awhile on shorter rides when you are having to stop and put your seat down lots.
That Mustang seat is the exact one I will be getting for my Slim very soon. I loved the way it looked sitting on the bike. If you can't tell which one you want based on sitting on them, maybe just decide which one you think looks better on that bike and go with that one. Looking forward to seeing which one you choose!
Which seat looks better on the bike should be the last thing you base your decision on . Comfort is your first priority, and you can't tell by setting the seat on the bike and sitting on it for a few minutes. Mount one seat on the bike and go ride for a day (preferably for a couple of hundred kilometers ) and see how you feel at the end of the day. Then the next day swap the seat out and do it again. This should tell you which seat is more comfortable. If they are equally comfortable and you have no preference in the two then you can base your decision on which you like the looks of.
You're right, the Slim is a beautiful bike I just bought a 2021 slim this year and I love it. However, like just about everything in life, I'd love it more if I wasn't a short man (I'm 5'6"). Your video was helpful in narrowing down the choice for a replacement seat, more accurate than most, but I was wondering if you, or your followers, had found the impossible; a seat that fits a 2021 Slim AND pushes you closer to the bars. I've been running round and round in circles and getting nowhere.
oh that is an impossible task for sure! both seats in this video do that though :) I have another video on my channel where we measured how far up and forward both seats push you :) that night help! 🥰
I would choose the Saddleman just for the simple reason that is has some back support. If you're planning on some long distance trips, you will definitely be glad you got the Saddleman. But that Mustang seat looks pretty sweet as well:)
I just can't wrap my head around a large fender covering seat like the Saddleman. I have to say I am still liking the Street Bob seat I have on mine. I'm guessing the Mustang is more comfortable though.
I put a Corbin Classic Solo with backrest on my 2020. I had a Saddleman, very good seat, didn’t think it fit the retro style of my Slim. I have blacked out, put brown seat on, it stands out. Get many great comments on it. Whatever you like and feel comfortable on!
Regarding the seat I'm sure you'll make the right decision, you've definitely made good decisions on the bikes themselves. Completely off topic but if you are looking to black out something cheap on the slim change the headlight bezel $39 HD. I did this to my slim and it looks amazing..:)
I got the mustang seat for my sport glide I love it.i like the looks of the mustang seat on the slim better.but that's my opinion. You are still the best!!
Put a mustang on my slim, way better than stock! The mustang passenger seat will leave marks on the rear fender, but being that you have a Heritage, probably not worried about taking a passenger on the slim to much. The Slim is a hard bike in that you don’t really want to modify it too much, Harley-Davidson knocked it out of the ball park!
Thanks for overlooking my comment. I should mention that my bike is the Deluxe and unlike the Heritage, it came with a solo seat and no passenger pegs. I probably didn't ride it long enough to determine its lack of comfort, but I did find it uncomfortable after a few hours of riding. I probably would have kept it if a backrest was offered for it, but it wasn't. After I put my deluxe seat on with the added passenger seat, I also put passenger pegs on it. You never know when an emergency might happen and you have to take a passenger. You and your husband ride together, if you broke down he might have to take you as a passenger. I hope you don't think I'm a stalker, I'm single (Widowed) and have to much time.
I’m looking for a seat like the first one you tried on your bike for my 2017 Softail Slim S but with the backrest. But, if it’s higher and pushing you closer to the tank, I might have to pass. I like the first seat though 👍🏽.
The mustang looks better on the bike and the saddleman might be more comfortable. The question will be how much pain are you willing to tolerate for the looks
@@CorinnaHaimerl I am a long distance rider so I take comfortablitiy before looks . Btw I have a mustang seat on my bike victory Cross country tour and love it
I'm more interested in long-time riding than appearance. I have only heard good results about the Saddleman from others. Personally, I feel the Mustang with the wider seating appears it would give you the longest riding comfort. My Softail® Heritage and Deluxe (2018 and Newer) Softail® Heritage and Deluxe (2018 and Newer) seat offers the availability of being single or adding the passenger portion as well as being wider with the added bonus of being able to add a backrest. The other positive is for the passenger seat, it is also larger, longer and wider, for passenger comfort. I haven't had a passenger on my bike but if I do I want them to be comfortable and enjoy the ride. I have ridden on my Ultimate seat for over a year and over 5000 miles (8000 km). It does take a break in time as it will feel hard at first, but that means you probably have a good seat. Just my opinion.
extremely good points! we will never have a passenger on the slim as we don’t have the foot pegs… I never thought it would be such a difficult decision 😂
@@CorinnaHaimerl Like you I researched a lot and the first seat I bought was Harley's Hammock seat. It was poorly made and would fall off the front attachment when I was riding it. I had to fight with the parts man at the dealer until I found an employee who helped me get rid of this junk. I researched again, avoiding Harley and settled on the Ultimate seat. It had good reviews on the Harley Forum. I have been very happy with it so far. If you don't read the Harly Forum, you should, there's lots of good information from others on it.
I went from a saddleman to a mustang seat like the one in the video along with the pass seat. Very big difference. Check out my slim here ua-cam.com/video/p-fBX6idZq8/v-deo.html
Here's a youtube review of the Ultimate Seat, I'm not pushing this seat to you, just trying to help you and hubby find what you want. ua-cam.com/video/oWz9mPztIdU/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to decide on the same two seats.
it is a difficult choice, isn’t it 😂😂

that is the exact reason why the two up is in the closer selection 😂

I do agree! but then we would not be able to return the one we don’t want 😁
Corinna- we're anxiously awaiting your choice :)
As are we 😂 Stay tuned, next video is coming :)
@@CorinnaHaimerl 👍
ive been waiting for this one .i have a slim and love the look of it but its not very comfortable..curious what you pick out
the struggle is real, I tell you 😂
stay tuned, it is coming :)?

that is exactly why we struggled with our decision so much!
it is just more comfortable, gives more support and makes sense for luggage storage

I was looking into those too! just wasn’t quiet what we are looking/hoping for 😁
I’m going to have to check that seat out. That’s just what I’m looking for for my Softail Slim S. I need a backrest to keep me from flying off.
I wish I could post a pic, it really finished the bike of nicely
I went with the mustang solo no regrets
how long do you have it for already? 🥰
@@CorinnaHaimerl 2021 Slim with the Mustang Solo seat and a 2020 Standard with the Saddlemen for about 2 months now
Hello I noticed you got the slim handlebar riser.
Didmyou need to change the stock cables,clutch,and brake line?
hey hey 👋 no for those ones we didn’t. they are the 4“ risers and they still work with the stock cables 🥰
@@CorinnaHaimerl thanks.
Regarding the seat I'm sure you'll make the right decision, you've definitely made good decisions on the bikes themselves.
Completely off topic but if you are looking to black out something cheap on the slim change the headlight bezel $39 HD.
I did this to my slim and it looks amazing..:)
Thank you 🥰
that is a great idea 🤩

it's a tough choice. Both seats have their cons an pros
I think the Saddleman looks sharp and more comfy!
it really does! the back support is fantastic! but it covers so much of the fender 🥺
@@CorinnaHaimerl Are you riding your bike to look at it or to ride on it?
Don't mean to sound crabby. It must be my old age speaking.

it for sure will push you up and forward! go check out my video following that one, I have a breakdown and measurements there 🥰
It comes to do you need a passenger or not
not on the slim, but it would be great to store luggage on the with a sissy bar 😁
I went with the Whiplash Speed Company Slipstream seat on my Softail Slim. Check them out as well if you don’t end up liking these two. Ride safe!🤘🏻😎
will do! thank you so much for the tip🤩
@@CorinnaHaimerl Absolutely! Whiplash Speed Co is a smaller company than Mustang and Saddlmen but they do craft a seriously great product!
Mustang. I have the same bike .
might have been the better choice 🙈
The mustang looks better on the bike and the saddleman might be more comfortable. The question will be how much pain are you willing to tolerate for the looks
well that is exactly the question 😂

I also watch 2lane life on UA-cam, they use the salesman seat like you have, but also have the road sofa seat for when their wives are with them.
uh I have to check them out!
so many good choices out there!
saddleman
short and simple 😂
I went from a saddleman to a mustang seat like the one in the video along with the pass seat. Very big difference.
