- I wasn't to satisfied with my Saddlemen Road Sofa (reasons in video) seat so never sitting on a mustang seat before, I decided to give it a try. I bought a Mustang Touring Deluxe seat with heat. Quality seems to be out of this world but time will tell if its a great all around seat for me.

So glad I clicked on this video. Really appreciate your honesty and natural style of sharing. Truly authentic. - I’m now a subscriber and also leaning towards Mustang. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hell, yeah. I love comments like this it makes my day.
I really enjoy watching your videos. You have a very relaxed vibe and a humble personality. I hope to meet you on the road someday.
Best comment since I’ve been making these! Thanks so much it means a lot!
I have the mustang seat you got. You'll love it. I was torn between that and the saddleman and honestly like the look of the diamond pattern of the saddleman more, but a test ride was all it took. You'll be happier with the mustang.
Yeah I absolutely love it so far. I just uploaded a 500 mile review and it was a night and day difference
im looking at them both about to pull the trigger. Think Im going with the mustang
Just watched your vid for the first time good job on the review
Well, welcome to the channel and thanks for the comment. If you’re a person who likes watching Modo Vlogs, when you get a chance, take a look at my other videos if you do. A lot of random commuting, and traveling while recording.
Nice video my dude. Army reservist here. I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work
Hey thanks, and thank you for your service.
I have a couple of those factory match boxes in my garage. Great quality parts
I’m amazed by the quality!
New Sub, I've been riding on a Mustang seat since 2009, put nearly 80k on that heritage, traded it in 2020 for an 18 RoadGlide, put a new Mustang touring seat on that RoadGlide, put 50K plus on that seat. Traded that RoadGlide in on a new 24 RoadGlide, waiting on Mustang to come out wit on for the 24s which should be around Daytona time frame. the seat on the 18 RoadGlide wouldn't fit the 24, so I'm going sell it. has the back rest and passenger seat. if it would have fit the 24, it would be on it ready to smash some more miles. Thank you for sharing!
Definitely my favorite seat
Good review. I got the mustang and like it. Never sat on a saddleman so I don’t know if there is a difference.
Thanks for the video man. Trying to find the right seat for my 23 Road King Special and my ogre arse. Lol. Thank you for your service as well brother. Army Vet myself. If you were in Colorado we'd be friends for sure. Lol
Don’t know how I missed your comment but thanks for your service.
I put the same Mustang seat on my 2012 and the plug works up until 2016 then newer ones need the adaptor kit. love the new seat the back rest rocks
This weekend I rode from Cincinnati to road Atlanta in Georgia. So for being the first long ride I can honestly say I’m sold on mustang.
Good looking seat.
I just got my first Harley. 2022 RGS, other than color it looks identical, chopped pack, hand guards, Mustang seat, lower farings, etc. I believe the mustang was slightly altered by the previous owner. It is wearing my tailbone out. I was looking at the Saddlemen so thank you for your review and opinion. I think you talked me out of it. I just moved the bars forward a little in hopes it rolls me forward off my tailbone. I may have to get the seat altered again in the near future.
I suggest going to Harley and try their demo seat the “tall boy” that’s the only other one I liked
I've just stumbled onto your blog. I've been trying to decide between a mustang and a saddlemen. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Well I absolutely hated the saddlemen, it looked cool though 😂
We bought that seat, back rest & passenger back rest last year in mid august and have eight or nine thousand miles on it. It's still stiff and not real comfortable but we put "purple" cushions on them. We're hoping the seat itself loosens up but the cushions really make it nice and raises me up a touch making it even easier to see over the 10 1/2" Klockwerks.
If you think this one is still stiff, I never buy a Saddlemen lol this one feels like a loveseat compared to the other
I don't know how many miles you've ridden on yours but like I said, we've put on 8 or 9k and it's a good seat. If you decide you want a little more cush till it's broken in, try the Purple brand cushions. Cheap, super effective and they stay on the seat with out having to be strapped down.
P.S : Just went to the shop and checked, 9,394 miles on it. Installed it July 29th. I have a Mustang seat (different) on the Road King. The Super Deluxe is on the Limited. The three piece combo looks great. Thought abour matching lid covers but haven't so far.
@@randyspilman292 thanks for the info
Yep, got tired of spending good money on seat after seat that ended up a bitter disappointment. I now use a Pro Pad SuprCruzr Sheepskin cushion, highly reviewed on their website, on my bike, and for me, it has been more comfortable than the Mustang, the Saddlemen, Corbin, Ultimate seats, all of which I did not find comfortable. The only seat I found worth a damn was the Russell Day Long, but I wouldn't recommend doing one unless you can ride in for the fitting. The great thing about a good seat cushion is you can take it from bike to bike, even on fly and rides to give you a comfortable seat on rentals. And I put function above form all day, every day, so a seat cushion on my seat doesn't bother me in the least.
@@randyspilman292 Did you buy the purple cushion made for motorcycle seat or did you just cut it to fit your seat. The ones I’m seeing look pretty big
That looks heaps better.
Im 59 yrs n 155 kg staying with the stock Ultra seat on my 2021 ultra Limited...
You like it?
Nice vid, good style, humble informative and funny. Thanks and well done. What do you think of the Mustang now after afew months?
I really think that’s going to be my next video. I absolutely am in love with it. The heat part of it is a game changer for me. Comfort side of it is absolutely amazing. I rode five hours back from Atlanta in the floorboard position and I only stopped for gas twice for a five minute break. No pains at all.
Great video. Can you speak on the difference between the two when it comes to tailbone pain/pressure/lack of?
For me, there was hardly any tailbone pain on the mustang after riding for 3+ hours straight
None of the seats have tailbone relief which is what I need for all day comfort. The Pro Pad SuprCruzr gel pad does have tailbone relief, and has been a better solution for me than any seat I've tried, and I've tried most of them, and spent a lot of money I wish I could have back now.
Everyone’s butt is different, but I had more relief with the seat.
So I’m seeing a lot of used Saddlemen seats available along with not good comments on the Saddlemen seats, my thought is, if you have to ride over 5K before broken in,, I don’t believe you can return it after 5K miles, why would I want to spend almost $500-1K for a seat that will be uncomfortable for 5K miles, just saying…
I’m not seeing hardly any bad comments or negative reviews on Mustang seats, I’m in the market for a 2 up seat and it maybe a Mustang but not a Saddlemen seat for sure. Thank you for sharing your video. Ride on!
Hope you find something good. Remember that Harley has demo seats sometimes. I have seen a couple dealers where they have had Mustang deluxe seats as a demo which has been cool.
Great video Im trying to figure out my next seat. subded
Awesome! Thank you!
May I ask where did you get the matching Mustang passenger backrest? I have the Mustang seat and I want to get a Chopped Tour Pack, but I'd like the passenger backrest to match. TIA!
If you go to your local Harley, they can order it through the drag book I believe if not call them directly because I don’t think they have that version on their website
@@ThiccAmishMedia Awesome. I'll try that. Thanks!
Will that Mustang Tour Pak backrest work with either the Chopped or Razor Tour Pack? It looks so good....
It will work with a chopped, not a razor though.
I want those wheels for my road king special! Can't find them anywhere. Love the edge cut look
Agree! I love the subtle flash
@@ThiccAmishMedia I just have the gloss black prodigy wheels for now.
@@philblock that’s what I had on my road king :)
Hey T.A.M., loved the 3 "goof-ball" moments!👍🤓!
1.) I won't repeat what said about your wife's posterior size.
2.) The "old man pappy" seat!👍😁
3.) First time you've seen me without a hat on-I'm not bald!👍😁
4.) You need to get into a "hug-fight" with your wife!
5.) With more video presentations, you'll get comfortable with speaking to/with people in person and it will be very natural to you. You'll get better soon as you get this action underway! Yes, there will be frustrations, but, that's a part of the healing process chief. You'll be great at the end of this journey. Doug🦅🤓👍🏍️🐻⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for watching!!!!!
How did u get the color stitching with the heated seat i didn't see the option on the mustang site
I told my local Harley dealer what I wanted and they called in since they are a authorized dealer and they special ordered everything that I wanted
How’s the quality between the 2 seats? I’m looking at both, trying to decide which one to pick…
Thanks
Quality of both seats are good, but the comfort of the mustang seat truly outshines the Saddleman in my opinion
so, I'm rocking a stock street glide seat at the moment. it is terrible. and after taking my first ride with a passenger this weekend, she was NOT impressed with the seat either... I've been considering the road sofa. my uncle has the mustang on his ultra, I tried it and it was too wide and felt like I was on top of the bike to me. does the saddlemen make you feel more or less on top of the bike than the mustang? I've been trying to find someone local that would be willing to let me try the saddlemen but I've had no luck so far.
If I were you, I would watch my 2000 mile seat review.
I have a Saddlemen road sofa on my Road King. I like it. It's an extended reach.
I got the Saddleman for my ultra 2” extended reach. Not happy with it so far. Seems very stiff and long rides I’m hurting.
That’s how exactly I felt with mine even after 18k miles. The more I was on it the worse it was
Good seat review.. :-)
Keep a look out for my next video on the seat. Definitely a great upgrade for the uncomfortable rider.
@@ThiccAmishMedia looking forward to it... thanks : - )
Do your galfer rotors make a nosie every time u apply them? The harder u apply the louder it is. Galfer says this is normal, just air going over the blades. Just asking others that I see have them.
Any type of aftermarket rotors like this with the big gas exit points are going to make noise like this. That being said, of course, mine make noise but I’ve been used to it ever since I was riding mountain bikes. Sounds like a swarm of cicadas around you in my opinion lol.
@ThiccAmish Media Thanks for the reply. You are 100 percent right on the sound. I am used to it more now but at first it was driving me insane.
@@RGlide514 definitely a weird sound. I ride with a full face, so I probably don’t notice it as much as you.
I just ordered this seat and backrest.
I know it’s off-season for most, but how do you like it so far
Saddle man seat.. is worse then stock seat… feels good for the first hr after that break out the prep H lol
Went with a Corbin touring… soo far so good.. haven’t tested it out on a long range trip…
That was the other seat I was looking at. The settlement was worse the longer you stayed on it. I don’t know how I made it to Sturgis and back on it.
I think the saddleman looks nicer but I'm not liking the gel in the seat. Badboyz seats looks good but don't like the 2 pc. How was your test ride and how did your wife like it
@@drodman34 take a look at the second video I posted. I think it was a 2000 mile review or 10,000. I don’t remember lol I agree with everything you said settlement looked great but the gel sucked bad boys don’t care for the two piece. My wife did like the seat, but she said the Harley tall boy was more comfortable, but that looks like an old man seat in my opinion.
Looking to buy this seat but , I am 5' 8" worried it will put me too high.
I feel it would also. This did raise me up a little bit.
I had a saddlemen step up on my Road King Special, 2k miles later, and it still was a brick. I just ordered a Mustang wide Tripper. Ride safe.
Sooo I made the video but haven’t posted it but you’ll be way happier!
Did the saddleman seat stay hard or did it soften up after miles? Mine is like a rock, and i hate sitting 2 inches higher
Never softened up one bit. If anything, it felt like it got worse. Lol.
Ok thanks for getting back to me. That's what I was afraid you would say 😂. Need to make the switch to something else
@@jameshefferman6492 I had a tall boy from Harley. It sat me low and was relatively comfy. If I were you, I would go to your local Harley and see if they have the demo seat.
Thanks. We sat on a few different ones in sturgis and ended up with the saddleman because of price and it did look nice. Thought it would break in lol. Thanks for the information I really appreciate it. Will be looking at different seats before riding season kicks off. We had a factory ultra seat and liked it but I did not have enough room and felt like I was sitting on the tank 😂.
@@jameshefferman6492 good luck in your search.
Thank you for being honest and saying what I’ve been saying about these TH-camrs!! I’ve unsubscribed from them all. It’s a scam actually!! Start a TH-cam, build sub base, then sell your soul to sponsors!! I’m out!! I subscribed to yours!! Thanks!
Exactly!!
so you turned your Beautiful ST into a Ultra ???
But the ultra doesn’t come with the 117. Think of it as a downgraded CVO lol. I’m happy with it. Since this video, I have a 2-1 and a different intake along with the tune.
Do you still have the Road Sofa?
I do
Is your Honda for sale?
It will be
Sold my saddleman road sofa had over 10, 000 and I still couldn't get 40 mins and had ass burn the rest of the day.
Yeah, worst seat I have ever had lol
I’ve had both. Kept the Saddlemen. Mustang was too wide and too cushy. Sold it for half the price. Video hard to follow.
thank god I was # 261...
What’s the significance of 261 lol
@@ThiccAmishMedia didn't want to pay for the damage to your new fender when you set the box on end :p
@@oldsoldiersride833 haaaaa it all makes sense now
Should have got meat hooks
Noooooo
Worst seat review ever 🤦🏻♂️
Make a better one then?
You need to clean and organized your garage, looks terrible on camera a d makes you look lazy.
Yeah tell me about it. I just changed jobs and had to make room for that matco box you see. Rebuild the entire work bench and move all the tools over. If you think this is messy you shoulda seen it a month ago when I was actually doing it all 🤣. Thanks for your concern though.
over 4 minutes into the video before you started to talked about the seats, man keep to the point who cares about your shoes
There’s a back button for a reason. Want me to make a video to show you how to use it?
How tall are you....is that Saddlemen that far back if I'm 5'7"
I am 6 foot tall. They do make the non-extended reach version.
Not a mustang fan
Reason?
@@ThiccAmishMedia too much soft cushion ,not firm enough , good for short
@@lonniedugan6120 I feel the opposite but every butt is different.
