- saddleman roadsofa LS extended reach, long term review. how long to break in? I answer this and more. any questions feel free to ask and check me out on Instagram 801ryno. thanks for watching!
Bro !!!!! Finally someone who gives a short and to the point video on this seat. I've got this same seat on my 21 RGS. THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR GETTIN RITE TO IT!!!!
Hellya, bro!
How can the seat be uncomfortable for short trips and comfortable for long trips? That doesn’t make any sense to me.
Vibration.. longer highway miles, higher rpm's. For whatever smooths the ride..
If you have a bike for a bar hopper or just city riding a few miles, this ain't for you. It takes 500 to 1500 miles to break in. Once it's broke in, it's worth the $. If you don't do the miles, you'll trade off the bike before you break it in.
I bought the saddlemen step up seat extended reach and I felt closer to the tank than the stock seat on my road glide. Watching this is making me wish I went with the road sofa extended reach which I might still. I’m 6 foot with long legs. Did this seat actually put you away from the tank 2 inches as they claim?
I do fell like it moved me back the 2"..
I'm 6'2 and just bought the Extended Reach. It put me back 2.5"

Thanks for the review from a person that actually use it. Not giving you shit but I still don’t understand them handlebars you remind me of a 70s skidoo snowmobile.
Lol, I was never lucky enough to ride one, so I can't say in comparison. But the 15" lucky daves heavy hitters, really handled amazing! In corners 2 up, I could tell a massive difference between stock and a set of 12" motorwitch bars. They may look silly but made for an awesome ride. Thank you for watching and dropping a comment! Cheers, bro!
Hey, trying to decide if I should go with the rider backrest. Does your wife have enough space on the passenger seat with the rider backrest in place? Thanks 😎
She does, but it kinda locks her in place like a kid seat, lol. It does limit her leg movement, but nothing she couldn't handle. She is still a trooper for a 600-mile day.. The back rest slides in and out easy, very clean design. So, it makes it easy to choose before you ride. I recommend it even if you only use it every now n then. Hope this helps, cheers!
Thank You So Much! I really appreciate it, very helpful. That's Awesome your Wife enjoys riding that much, My Wife is the same. We are blessed! 😃😅
I was just talking about this with a guy yesterday. The actual "reviews" are few and far between. I am interested in the comfort of it. I don't care about the unboxing BS.
How much do you weigh? I think that has something to do with break in period. Big boys seem to break them in a bit earlier than the lighter guys.
I'm a big guy. I think anyway, haha. 230lb 6'2.. I agree with you
I just put this in my road king. Literally just put it on so no miles yet. However it definitely helps with how your legs/feet fit on floorboard. Feels so good. It is stiff, I know will break in. I have a lot of buffing to do on my tank, where I have more tank exposed now. Sure hope that buffs out. Other than that, have a great seat position now. It also looks great.
I have the road sofa. I glad you said the break in was closer to 5k miles. I have about 3k miles in mine, and I was starting to get worried. I was thinking about going to a mustang. I average about 400 miles a week with longer rides on the weekends.
Thank you for watching! Hopefully the seat is feeling better with more miles
What bike do you have? Road glide limited or road glide special? Depends on what seat you started with. You said it sits you down about an inch lower than stock. I don't want to sit any higher than my stock seat. I have an 2009 electra glide classic. And I like the height of the street/ road glide seat. Thanks for the "real honest review".
Road glide special.. i miss my 2009 Electra glide classic. Such a great bike. I used same seat on both bikes and I feel it sat me lower on both compared to their stock seat.
I just purchased one last week time to put miles on it and to get rid of the gray look I cleaned and conditioned it
I just saw you review and thank you. I want to change mine and at least now I know it will last longer. Other ? What are your 2 into one exhaust I really like that look
Its stock exhaust, I did put on vance and hines tips on tho
I often think of buying several other seats. For styles and more comfort. Thank you for suggesting.
Ya man I totally agree that what you want a stiffer seat to absorb all the vibrations and tackle some miles. I own one as well. Only owned it for a year now. Thanks fpr the review good stuff.
Thank you for watching!
Just put my 1st 130 miles on my new rs ls so far so good. Stiff yes, I wished I bought it sooner , I really pack the miles on 16000 in less then a year and I store the bike in the winter. Hoping for a good seat after breaking in. What do you use to condition and soften the material up?
Hope the seat is treating you well! I use leather treatment I get from the local auto parts store. I bought the brand mulligans.
@@801ryno5 did that help losen it up?
Yes! I definitely felt like with every time it helped. I also washed it, at the same time I washed my bike (I just left it on as I washed the bike lol). Then would treat with the leather spray after it dried. But it did get softer
Question: Can one disassemble the backrest, put washers in the “joints” to help stiffen it up so it doesn’t fall forward?
Yes you can. A little maintenance keeps it like new
Good review mate. Thanks for sharing
Best review on RS out there.
Thank you!
Man good review! Would love you to do one on those lucky daves! I've wanted to get them but was curious as too how bad they block the screen? Or do you sit up high enough you can see over?
Thank you!! I have really loved them bars and planning on doing a review after I finish the video I'm working on now, moto camping and what me and my wife pack for an overnight trip.. thank you for watching!
@@801ryno5 Awesome man!!! Keep up the good content. I really see this channel growing!
Nice! I’m stuck between the Le’pera kick flip daddy long legs and this seat. I’m 6-5 , so more than seating me two inches back, i want a seat that sits me up 2 inches also. Currently been rocking a HD tall-boy seat, it doesn’t push me back far enough
How far did the seat push you back?
I'd say 2" back and compared to stock, 1" lower ( not verified, just my feeling).. thank you for watching!
How tall are you?
6'2 - 230lbs
How tall are you? I see it is the extended reach
Im 6'2
That makes sense. I’m only 5’10 I’ll be going with the standard reach… thank you
Thank you for watching!
So basically its stiff and not comfy
Haha, well. If you do more miles at higher speeds ( in theory stiff is what you want ). Depends on personal preference in my opinion. Gotta go with the seat that fits you and your riding best, whatever brand you buy.. this is more of my own experience with the seat and for the guy who is on the fence on weather or not they should drop the coin on it.
