The BEST HARLEY SEATS | Touring Seat VS Stock Seat

[@ThrottleDownunder]

What seat are you using on your Touring Harley?

[@hachewie]

I dream. Maybe one day.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

@@hachewie yeah man. You still need to ride NOLA

[@hachewie]

@@ThrottleDownunder YES PLEASE!

[@BoltBucket]

well its a stick seat bcoz its still at the dealership. actually wouldn't even been made yet lol

[@sidneysnottley6414]

Mine? .. Standard 'fast back' SGS seat - Been rejigged with crocodile style covering. I agree with the numb bum observations - However, it's a good excuse to stop and have a fizzy. To mitigate arse pain - An Airhawk or knock-off ...or alternatively, the old school sheepskin 'fluffy' ... worked for years over many HD's. Dont like the profile of the clunky touring version ... Pillion comfort really doesn't come into my thought process .. The old 'like it or lump it rule applies. ;-)

Well you asked for comments, STOP WITH THE BELL AND COMMENT AND LIKE SCREENS. They take so much away from the production which is obvious you do a great job at. Just my 2cents.

[@shotshotrod3487]

I ended up swapping my seat out for a Mustang Touring seat on my Fatty and never looked back. I was so, so happy! Like yours, it sat me a touch higher, but man, I had happy cheeks! No more numb bum! Bike looks great Rob!

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Good to know mate, thank you for the advice 🤙🤙

[@BoltBucket]

I re did my stock seat. new foam for more padding right round and new cover

[@RoadsOfOz]

A seat makes all the difference on a longer ride. Nice work mate. Hopefully we will be out riding soon.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

ASAP mate

[@BigBert]

I have the tall boy seat and it’s ok. It’s not awesome but it’s better than the stock seat for my length. Like yours Rob it is bulky to look at.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

This one would be far too restricted for you mate

[@Dimage666]

The 200k limit on stock seat I agree with alot. Did my entry level Iron Butt ride on a stock seat last year. It still hurs almost a year later. The OEM realy suck. It does look good thow. So I might just modify it.

[@TheHarleyRoadshow]

Yep have to agree, stock seat wasn’t the best so as you know I ended up customising it, really well put together video too mate, really slick looking

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Thanks Paul I appreciate mate. Just trying to tidy up my content and have it more focused

[@hachewie]

You are looking awesome mate.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Haha thanks Chewie

[@rockcrawlerchurch2976]

The tallboyseat was instant pain thesecond i sat on it. I could feel the pressure on the sciatic nerves. I want a solo seat (putting a solo seat touring pack on mine for long trips) that is good for a long in the limbs and wide 6'4" Aussie. We have to pay too many damn tax costs here

[@KODEGREY]

Great video man!! Iron Dundee and Bolt Bucket sent me your way, and I am glad they did. You did a real good job of explaining the pros and cons without putting anyone off. I don't own a bike like this, but anyone who does will definitely benefit from this video. Subbed 👍.

[@funlolo2870]

Hî is this the "sundowner" seat for touring ?

[@HarleyThrottleJuice]

I’m considering swapping out mine for a solo. I haven’t seen one yet that convinces me that it’ll be more comfortable,

[@ThrottleDownunder]

I think I'd like a good solo one too Roger, I think it's on the cards for me

[@Zulu_117_ST]

I could get you both CVO gel seats 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ThrottleDownunder]

@@Zulu_117_ST are they good?

[@HarleyThrottleJuice]

@@Zulu_117_ST shove your CVO stuff!!! 😂

[@Zulu_117_ST]

@@ThrottleDownunder Rob it really makes a difference. As you know we do long haul rides and after 600-700km in a day I pull up just fine. I have prolapsed discs in my lower back, and impingements between my shoulder blades. That was partially the reason for upgrading to the fairing. I had ridden with the naked frame for 11 years. The gel seat has helped a lot! Highly recommend it. Even if you can for the solo saddle. Try my bike next time we see you and go from there.

[@tazyt3388]

Great job Rob I redo every seat on all my bikes de skin them refoam reshape reskin usually I’m adding a layer of 15 mm memory foam just to square up the rear it saves ya hips n spine costs bugger all changes the game goodonya mate cheers

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Awesome mate if I had those skills I'd do it too 🤙

[@tazyt3388]

@@ThrottleDownunder I’m sure you could do it man everything’s possible tryings free and mistakes are the best lessons

[@ThrottleDownunder]

@@tazyt3388 that's very true indeed

[@OutbackOutlaw]

I despise my seat with a passion. I’m even thinking of just chucking a cushion on it and strapping it down🤣. I wanna look at getting the Roadmaster seat it’s much more luxurious

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Your should get the Roadmaster seat, with the Roadmaster under it

[@OutbackOutlaw]

@@ThrottleDownunder I thought that after I wrote it 🤣🤣

[@ThrottleDownunder]

@@OutbackOutlaw I give permission lol

[@OutbackOutlaw]

@@ThrottleDownunder excellent I’ll let Sommer know 🤣. I’m buying a 500cc TC HD trike for her, hope to have that sorted this week. Last one made in Australia.

[@motorcycleden]

Is the touring seat from an Ultra Limited or Road Glide Limited? We have a Road Glide Limited now and are looking at getting a different seat. I've dealt with the owner of Freedom Shields and he is an awesome guy!

[@ThrottleDownunder]

This touring seat is an off the shelf solution for all Touring models as far as I'm aware

[@motorcycleden]

@@ThrottleDownunder thanks!

[@Corrado77]

Can you explain again about the answer of the question ? Is the touring seat the oem from the ultra limited ?

[@nigelberghoff3101]

I bought an AIR HAWK SEAT cushion a much cheaper alternative, 4 hours in the saddle no sore bum on a 2010 Road King with the standard seat

[@ThrottleDownunder]

I'll have to check them out Nigel. Where are they based?

[@nigelberghoff3101]

@@ThrottleDownunder I purchased it from Harley Heaven Ringwood Melbourne,I am pretty sure most good bike shops would sell them Airhawk Australia. www.airhawk.com.au Good luck with it

[@thanosetsitty1896]

I use the stock seat with a backrest when I’m traveling far and it serves it purpose for me. And I use the Harley hammock seat if the wife wants to cruise. But they both feel the same for me as far as the rider. What you got there looks like the sundowner seat from Harley, is it not?

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Im not sure what it's called, it was a gift from a friend without the box or labels

[@motogspot]

They look a lot more comfortable than either of my two bike Robbo 😂😁👍🏼

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Haha they sure do mate.

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

Iron Dundee sent me to love you. Done

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Thank you mate and welcome

[@kimmyrussAdventures]

The touring seat does look a lot more comfortable mate

[@ThrottleDownunder]

It sure is. Comfort for me is so important haha

[@motorcyclestuff1961]

that's a Gangsta HD Baggah

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Haha thanks Div

[@ut1004bp]

Un happy with stock..too dang hard up front, but like goldilocks might, I think the touring is too high, passenger and rider.. I need a compromise

[@hondanut7564]

Hi mate , The stock seat and rear suspension are just horrible !!!! for such a expensive ( touring ) motorcycle. I went for the HD Hammock and upgraded the rear shocks to Ohlins HD777 , it made such a difference.. I have taken the sissy bar pad off and leave just the bar on , to take your eyes off that sofa look at the rear ....

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Thanks mate. Yes rear shocks are next, and you're right, so much cash to have to spend more

[@hondanut7564]

@@ThrottleDownunder, I Highly recommend the Ohlins HD777 bought them from Kyle-USA ebay store , made a huge difference to my Road King Special

[@ThrottleDownunder]

@@hondanut7564 awesome mate thank you I'll look into it
