So neat, watched this in the pick up truck while my wife was shopping and could feel the Harley running in the doors of the pick up. Just like I was on the bike with you.
Hi there Shawn and Kelly you must be really pleased now that you have the RK just as you wanted it good for you , the skies were really beautiful on your very relaxing ride thanks for taking us along ,be safe see you tomorrow 😀👍🇬🇧 Rob and Lynne.
The saddle is the heart of a touring cruiser. You can't do distance comfortably on a saddle that is uncomfortable. That's why I have an ultimate seats saddle on my RT LTD. I ride 200 miles a go with no issues.
I've debated a new seat for my Eluder, but my long-distance travel plans are on indefinite hold, so I'll live with what I've got. Too hot to wear a backpack down here! Heck, I haven't even been wearing my vest as much as I used to. I just LOVE the look of your RK! Peace and love.
And that's where you keep your OCD meds I take it....😂😂😂😂 I'm the same way on me or dont need it... Beautiful sunset riding... Here it's a heat wave cause of Nonsoon but couple more weeks as the locals predict. I have installed the 4 in no baffle sharkroad slip ons... Maaaan what a beautiful sound... mean throtty and loud when needs to be... Take care yourself and your lil woman....
I put a Super touring seat on my 14 RK and found that it was putting pressure on the inside of my legs and raised the rider up higher enough to cause helmet turbulence. I ordered a Touring version and those problems went away. I'm 6'2. I then put the Super touring on my 17 RGS and it works fine there except for the light pressure on the inside of my legs. I am hoping that the foam will soften up a little over time. It is wider from the middle to the front. Funny how a seat can be so personal. Hope yours works great for you!
I have the tall boy from Harley-Davidson love it. I'm thinking of getting me a mustang seat for longer tour. And use the tall boy from 300 mile radius.
Very nice seat Shawn....it does look huge tho...im still torn between the road sofa and this one...have to do more research in the saddleman...i definitely like the mustangs tho, like the rivets on the seat pan..the whole seat is quality for sure...i have sat on an extended road sofa and it was pretty darn comfy, lol.....love the white color of your road king, im thinking on getting my 03 cvo 100th ann painted satin white....ifs the centennial gold ,with real gold leaf on the tank....has the claw marks running down the tins and bags as well....maybe you know the paint work?...its original paint from the factory. Id really appreciate your opinion as to weather I paint it satin white or leave the factory paint...you don't see to many like mine for sure....thanks man!
Very nice after work rip with the Classy RK, glad you finally found a seat. I guess the other two seats are going to put up for sale on Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace, c'mon! Good stuff Smoaks!
I ordered my mustang deluxe heated touring seat a month ago, when I ordered it they said it was on back order 6 to 8 weeks, so hopefully I'll get it by the end of September, I got the heated seat because the wife and I ride a lot when we can in the winter months, glad to know that you like yours Brother, don't nod off to sleep LoL 😂, thanks for sharing brother 💯,👍🏼
Nope, I sense you’re trying to convince yourself that the Super Touring is better. I say you’ll be infinitely more pleased to keep the Touring. It’s like wearing a size 12 shoe when it should be an 11. Sometimes bigger isn’t better!
Oh no, I’m extremely pleased..! 👌 And after taking it on the long ride to work and back, I’m freaking out on how perfect it all feels now. Thanks Robb!! 👊
Glad to see you didn’t have to wait too long for the new seat! Thanks for doing the side by side by side. It’s look comfortable, thanks for the ride on the new seat, does mustang make seats for Indians? See you tomorrow!👍
Is the stuff you keep in your backpack more personal items or motorcycle essentials? I'd love to know what a veteran rider likes to keep handy in case of emergency.
I have been thinking about getting a standard touring seat but can not find anyplace that has them to where you can try them out. I assume I do not need the super as I am only 5'10". Any input from you would be appreciated.
I'm 5'8", and the standard seat was noticeably forward of the stock Road King seat. The Super Touring model was more like OEM, positioning wise, and more comfortable than the Standard Touring... Thanks!!
@@TheSmoaksVlogs They say that the standard is supposed to be the same, not forward or back, so it is nice to know that it actually does change your position. Thanks.
Enjoyed the video on the mustang seat. Did it feel like it raised you up higher? I bought a mustang seat for my sportster 10 years ago and sent it back because it raised me up to high.
The one thing iv'e never under stood about the motorcycle industry is why can't they just built a comfy seat , why should you have to buy after market seats, just so you can ride in comfort .? a lot of the bikes iv'e had have been 60 miles an your ready for a 5 to 10 minute rest . with all the tech there is , an comfy seats , available. why do they insist on making seats you just can't ride for long on. the only seat iv'e ever sat on that was just plum crazy comfy , was the can-am spider. But i think there are only 3 or 4 dealers in the whole of the UK. which kind of limits sales an service possibilities. just a shame mustang don't do the bikes i ride .
Now that’s a seat...sure looks good and makes the RK look even better... a worthy purchase that’s for sure. Cool.👍
Good deal Shawn, very cool. I'll be interested how the ride to work and back goes. Well, you guys take care, I'll see you tomorrow, God bless. -Rob
Thanks Rob!! 👍
So neat, watched this in the pick up truck while my wife was shopping and could feel the Harley running in the doors of the pick up. Just like I was on the bike with you.
Oh how cool..! I love pushing audio through quality speakers of bike videos! Lol
Thanks Thomas!! 👊
That's a saddle Mr. Ed would be proud of. LOL. Mustang does make the best seat of anyone.
Hi there Shawn and Kelly you must be really pleased now that you have the RK just as you wanted it good for you , the skies were really beautiful on your very relaxing ride thanks for taking us along ,be safe see you tomorrow 😀👍🇬🇧 Rob and Lynne.
Still in the 90s at night here in So. Cal. Thanks Shawn!
It was a bone chilling 36°F this morning..! What the heck is going on up here? Will be 100°+ this weekend...
Thanks Ryan!!
I know what you mean, I got a Super Deluxe Touring for my Road Glide. Super comfortable, almost like I could take a nap while riding!
The saddle is the heart of a touring cruiser. You can't do distance comfortably on a saddle that is uncomfortable. That's why I have an ultimate seats saddle on my RT LTD. I ride 200 miles a go with no issues.
3:14 , Shawn you impressed me, a wooden ruler, NO WAY!!!
I've debated a new seat for my Eluder, but my long-distance travel plans are on indefinite hold, so I'll live with what I've got. Too hot to wear a backpack down here! Heck, I haven't even been wearing my vest as much as I used to. I just LOVE the look of your RK! Peace and love.
I have the same seat on my RG. Made all the difference in the world!
That is one good looking bike. Almost convinced to trade in my Road Glide but, I dont think the wife is convinced.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
I am jealous. We are still baking down here in Arizona.

Great comparison. Thankyou
That’s sort of what my 14 Ultra Ltd 103 does i first like how you lope out of your yard smoothly 😎😎
When you can notice everything about the ride excluding your seat and handle bars, you no longer have a problem🖖🏻. Live long and prosper. Lol!!!!!
So very true..!
Thanks Cedric!!

I can only imagine what kind of power that Road King has with the 114. My 05 had an 88 and it was pretty peppy. 😎😎
My old 2002 Road King was an 88” 5-speed, and she was fine... Wish I still had her actually.
Thanks!! 👍
TheSmoaksVlogs Yea, same here. I really miss the King😎😎
I think I should go up your way. It was 113 yesterday. Getting tired of it. I want to ride.
Mustang seat is one town over from where I live
That’s cool..!
Thanks Randy!!
I am jealous--my wait time is 6 to 8 weeks
Sparky is having a good day.I want to buy a Mustang seat for my Electraglide I want the big one like yours with the backrest and heated.

Thanks Robb!! 👊
Stock seat on my ultra is comphy but I am looking for a better long haul seat
I’ve found those to be shockingly comfy as well when I’ve ridden them...
Thanks Harry!!
Glad to see you didn’t have to wait too long for the new seat! Thanks for doing the side by side by side. It’s look comfortable, thanks for the ride on the new seat, does mustang make seats for Indians? See you tomorrow!👍
Our pleasure! Yes, they make Indian seats as well.
Thanks Alberto!!
The seat looks great! Not to bulbous.

Lol, Thanks Bob!! 👊
