[@JayShermanFJC]

Looking forward to seeing everyone as well in September. Last year was so much fun and this year looks to at least match it if not better it. I'm sure you and D-Cycle will pick out some nice routes for riding.

[@TonysGarage]

We’re gonna do our best! Thanks for watching Jay! Ride safe.

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

[@TonysGarage]

Yeah man, it’s gonna be great to see everyone

[@kmwalsh84]

Love the seat , can you post a video of the seat from different angles / further back with full bike in Frame. Super cool!

[@thelost_woods]

Good to see someone with appreciation for brown leather. Looks sharp \m/

[@ddias8686]

Hell yeah man, nice seat for sure. Sometimes I wonder if that would have been a better seat than the Mustang Fastback for my sporty, but too late now andbim pretty happy with mine. But I'm really happy for you too. I'll swing by one of these weekends before I get out of TN (before MMM)

[@TonysGarage]

Hell yeah man, Let me know!

[@martyportersr7008]

Tony I put the H-D hammock on the Fatboy and it was ok but I bought some saddleman gel and took the cover off and cut in the foam and placed the gel in it and that made it a empty tank seat. So I could ride 200- 225 miles no problem. Fill up the tank and go again. I know you work so let me know when you would like to meet up some place in between Milan and Louisville. I retired at 55 and just had my 60 birthday last Thursday so any day is good for me.

[@TonysGarage]

Will do Marty. Thanks for watching man!

[@larrycreech762]

I have a Mustang solo seat on my Slim. It's comfortable and it keeps the look of a bobber.

[@saddlemenusa]

Thanks for the review Tony- we appreciate it!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for a great product 👊👊👊

[@saddlemenusa]

@@TonysGarage Appreciate that

[@BoDean52]

Looks good and I am in the market from my Ultra Limited. Agree on the wife thing, mine loves stock seat but I need the leg room at 6'3" and ride more solo. Ride safe

[@whitmeza]

I immediately was going to ask where you got the brown sissy bar! Well done so far. Love the color combo.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks Whit! Yeah, painting the sissy bar was a leap of faith. I am no painter🤣.

[@mreale70]

Hey love the seat. How did you find on site cuz it says no match for the slim? I’m getting the slim you convinced me to check it out and man I love it!!!!!

[@RealMrBoy]

I really want one of these seats. I debating moding my softail deuce to fit one. I'm only worried about the front tank fitment.

[@jackallen5240]

Love the brown seat and grips!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks man👊👊

[@kaiyab.6239]

Look at Tony with that cinematic opening! Man, you are killing it. How are you liking the new bars? Anything you would change?

[@TonysGarage]

The new bar are awesome should have done it sooner. As far as changes nothing yet they have been working out great! Thanks for watching Kaiya

[@GrandmasterHobbyist]

I just returned a saddlemen explorer ls woth the driver backrest...its soo far back and reclined i couldnt even barely reach my bars and im 5,11" ....i will try a stepup tomorrrow.

[@zoom107]

Bike looks great. I like the accessories you've chosen. I have a 2019 heritage the softail frame is great. Really am considering the s and s air cleaner but can't get an answer as to the availability of a rain sock. Any concerns in a heavy rain running without a cover? Thanks

[@TonysGarage]

Haven’t had a problem yet. Any rain sock will work just fine. Thanking for watching ride safe

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

"Most comfortable seat I've ever had" Wonderful to hear. About your wife's comfort, I'm curious, did you get the saddle gel core for the rear seat as well? Because it's not included stock, it's an addon that you add when you order the seat. Saddlemen really makes the best seats, glad to hear everyone who get's one loves them.

[@TonysGarage]

I did get the gel but it really does take some time to break in. Thanks for watching Fran

[@chaltaloma]

Thanks For The Ride Tony it Sure is Green in Your Area...BTW Your Bike is Looking Awesome !!! Yes Matt Laidlaw is a Great Guy and That Should Be a Great Podcast(if You Want His Sidekick at Laidlaws..Nick Culver a Really Sharp Guy and Also Rides a Slim) Take Care Bro.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching. Matt was spot of fun to have on the podcast. Might have to look Nick up for a future podcast. Thanks for the tip👊

[@chaltaloma]

@@TonysGarage When is Podcast With Matt Going To Be On ? Yes Nick is a Cool Guy and More on The Techinal Side of Bikes and Also Video Guy....6 Of The Laidlaw Workers Took a Guys Trip From Southern California To Utah What a Trip....Take Care Tony.

[@willhurt3446]

Cool. What are those grips and where did you get them ?

[@martyportersr7008]

Tony the bike is looking good.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks Marty appreciate it. Stay safe out there.

[@TheGearedRaven72]

“That’s a lot of cows....mehhhrrrr mehhrrrr” 😂 Glad you got that Saddleman broke in. And good job plugging the podcast 👊🏻 Damn I’m excited about MMM. I hope we don’t have to wear face masks but if we do, we need FDB ones! I’m laughing at the end of your video....squirrel. I speak from experience. 😂😂

[@TonysGarage]

Mary, that was a lot of cows 🐮. Can’t wait to get the whole crew together at MMM. Squirrel 🐿

[@withPercy]

That brass accent thing you've got going on looks really nice on the Slim. That back support you have on the seat is a bit higher than what I have on mine. Mine's good, I imagine yours is even better. Those Sundowner seats look horrible and they feel like barca loungers. Blech Thanks for the shoutout!

[@TonysGarage]

Not a fan of the sundowner at all. Harley just can’t get the quality to meet the price of their seats for some reason. So far a big fan was f the step up in both comfort and quality. Thanks for watching Percy!

[@tysonsmith9991]

Is that cork brown or whisper brown ? On saddlemens website they have two different browns

[@terryhaught9976]

Where does the step up put u in relation to the handle bars, closer or further away than stock and other seats?

[@TonysGarage]

It pushes you forward about an inch or so.

[@renzokukenleonhart]

Trying to find a more comfortable seat for my 2020 slim and also thinking about a saddlemen step up. How many miles can you go on the seat? Does the bottom of the seat scratch the paint?

[@TonysGarage]

No problem with the paint so far. I have done 300 with no problems. It does take some breaking in. Thanks for watching 👊

[@chrismcrae4544]

I like your grips. Where did you get them? Do they come in black? Thanks cm

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Chris, those are biltwell grips and yes sir they do come in black. Thanks for watching.

[@chrismcrae4544]

@@TonysGarage Thanks!

[@frankcarlo7]

Hey brother where did u get the seat

[@lilshaff07]

Got a ‘16 fatboy lo and the stock seat and bars are killing me.. love the look of this seat and w/the low back rise I think it’d be comfortable to lean back on and would keep me in the seat.. 6’ and lookin to add bars too.. 14” bars w/this seat got any opinions? Don’t ride typically no more than 2/3hrs but come event time I want to be able to put more on a bike without back pain!

[@TonysGarage]

I’m 5’7 and run a 9 inch bar and it fits me perfect. 12-14 sound about right for your height depending on how high you want your hands. The saddlemen seats make a huge difference over stock. Thanks for watching👊👊

[@lilshaff07]

@@TonysGarage wow thanks for the quick reply! Are you comfortable after a few hours of riding still w/the saddle men? Your build too man looks 👌🏻👌🏻 great looking bike

[@TonysGarage]

Yeah the saddlemen is a great seat. It does that some breaking in at first but after that very comfortable.

[@upperdarbyriders]

never thought I would be interested in Harley but after watching this I am really thinking about buying this bike after I sell my ninja1000

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching 👊

[@BoyFam]

What handlebars and size are those?

[@stevenicholson7391]

What grips are those?

[@asawestcott1242]

Tony, how tall are you? Looking at the step up as an option but don't want to crowd to forward.

[@TonysGarage]

I’m about 5’6 or so.

[@asawestcott1242]

@@TonysGarage thank you. I'm sitting at 6, I'll keep looking.

[@SinisterClutch]

That seat looks great on the bike! I'm looking at hopefully doing a demo of a Saddlemen Road Sofa.

[@TonysGarage]

They make a great seat!

“Hot spots develop.” Especially from butt wind.🤣😂

Those are very hot especially when white castles are involved

Did ya sell that Saddleman seat yet Tony?

[@TonysGarage]

No sir, it’s a keeper.

[@frankcarlo7]

Hey dude great bike I own a 2020 slim myself. I went to saddle man website and there’s no seats for the slim lol where did you purchase? Great video man! Ride safe

[@TonysGarage]

Get lowered cycles. Thanks for watching👊

[@frankcarlo7]

Tony Cox any time brother I subed you now I am 511 u think I will be pushed up to far with this seat? The power on this bike at times tends to pull me back lol which isn’t a bad thing but this seat looks great I just don’t want to be to pushed up thanks again brother

[@TonysGarage]

Frank Carlo I’m only 5’6 and the riding position is great. It does push you forward a little and up. As far as slipping around that isn’t going to happen you are locked in this thing. You do need to give it some time to break in at first it is very stiff.

[@frankcarlo7]

Thank u brother for the reply’s!! Keep the videos coming 2 wheels down brother

[@frankcarlo7]

Tony Cox awesome!!! I am 511 and I fit perfect on this I was just concerned about being to forward but u no what? Can’t hurt!!! Thanks brother

[@bobbyolddude6402]

Does it push you forward on the bike.

[@TonysGarage]

About an inch or so

[@ronwissinger2678]

Very well made seat looks good on the bike I put over 500 miles getting it broke in but being six feet it just was not the right fit for me as much as I wanted to like it. Sounds like you found the right fit for you I'm still searching but it's out there 👍ride safe

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Rob, yeah seats are tough. I went through a few before I landed on this one. Thanks for watching and ride safe man👊

[@bluegem6559]

Hey tony. What is the name of your podcast ?

[@TonysGarage]

Five Dirty Bikers. You can find it on all the streaming site and Apple.

[@bluegem6559]

Tony Cox Thank you. Found it and love you channel. Great stuff !

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I also greet cows, they are deserving of our hellos.

[@TonysGarage]

I agree 👍

[@TheEzzotrza]

Where did you buy the seat ?

[@TonysGarage]

Get lowered cycles

[@TheEzzotrza]

Tony Cox I try to get one but it’s said won’t fit for slim

[@alexgerman6709]

just got the same bike does the make it higher?

[@TonysGarage]

It does but not enough to really make a difference. I’m only 5’6 and I am still comfortable with stand over. Thanks for watching! Ride safe

[@alexgerman6709]

thank you sir love your videos. they help alot!

[@jayteesgear]

THAT! Is what im sayin

[@nickgarrison9652]

Does the seat move you more forward?

[@TonysGarage]

It does but not a lot

[@nickgarrison9652]

Does it raise the seat height at all? I’m a short guy and don’t want to lose any reach.

[@TonysGarage]

I’m 5,6 and it for me pretty good. It will sag a little after you get it broken in.
