I have had mine for 2 years. I can attest it takes A LONG time to break in. Mine didn’t break in until almost 12k. I thought I made a big mistake. However this is the most comfortable seat I’ve ever had. The only mistake I did was not get the heated seat. I still ride year round, those 34° days I’m cussing myself. If you can be patient you won’t regret it after it breaks in. Also if your tall the extended reach gives you a great riding position.
Yep. I'm trying to decide between the Road Sofa or the SDC Gripper pro. I like the looks of the SDC, but a heated seat on the Road Sofa has me leaning a bit towards it now. Tough decision. Thanks for the review! :)
I upgraded from stock to the saddlemen roadsofa, heated and all. Nice looking, great quality. Mixed reviews needless to say. It wasn't for me. After a year riding multiple times, 4 to 5K miles still have not broken in.. Hard as a rock still. have to stop to rest my rear end, after 1 hour of riding. Not great for long rides IMHO. Looking to buy the Harley sofa or the mustang
Thank you for the follow up review- it's always great when something you like continues to serve you well for years. We appreciate you @Timber Time Outdoors
I have a 23 Road GLide Special with the Mustang wide super solo seat and backrest. what I love about the mustang seat is it doesn't raise you up at all, and I love how the backrest is connected to the seat and doesn't wiggle all around. What I don't like about the mustang seat is I get monkey butt like an hour into riding. My two questions to you are, a) do you have any comparible comments for the RoadSofa? Does it raise you up at all? And does the backrest firmly lock into the seat, or does it connect to the bike under the seat?
Hey, Nice Video! I have a 2024 Street Glide and Wife and I are trying to decide if Saddlemen would be the seat for us. Stock seat is way too soft and spongy , it bottoms out on bumps especially the passenger seat. We also want heated seat now is that seat plug and play for the new Harleys?
I purchase the saddleman road sofa for my 2021 RGS. I arrived Monday so I put a couple hundred miles on it. Well it has me sitting higher than the seat I have from Bad Boyz Cycle. I’m 6’5” and weigh 245. I’m going to give them a call and see what saddleman can tell me
I have a 2015 SGS looking to replace my stock seat. Mainly for my passengers comfort. How tall are you? Did you get the extended reach? My riding position of my stock seat is comfortable for me. I got the extended foot controls which helped alot. I'm leaning towards the saddleman or the Mustang seats. There's always good and bad reviews.
5,000-mile break-in.... that's a lot of uncomfortable time in the saddle / I have the same seat on my Indian Challenger with about 3,000 uncomfortable miles on my butt, love the look of the seat but not very comfortable. I've owned many after-market seats, some with a ZERO break-in period and others with approx 500-1,000 mile break-in. Just my opinion.
I just ordered one for my 2017 Heritage Softail!! Can hardly wait to receive it!!
Thank you for making this video it has really helped me in my decision making process.

Considering this seat for my new road glide, I have to say the pileated woodpecker audio at 4:40 hooked me good! I will be ordering one soon
Just got a Saddlemen Road Sofa 2weeks ago I put 200 miles on it the first day.Love it .i don’t think I need a break in period

I just reviewed the King 2up after 1100 miles and talked about a seat like this and low and behold I come across this Road Sofa,very nice

thank you! great review.
I have a road sofa that’s got 25000 miles on it and it’s still a great seat.
I have about 60,000 miles on the one on my 2010 street glide and about 15,000 on my 2019 street glide.
The more miles on them the better they get.

What didn't you like about the Bad Boyz Cycle seat?

Did you purchase this seat or is this sponsored by Saddleman?
Is your seat extended reach or standard reach ?
Is it waterproof?
No, it repels the water pretty well but not in a heavy down pour sitting there.

Those are HARD seats.
