Saddlemen Explorer Special Studded Gel Seat 1984-1999 Harley Davidson Softail

Choosing the right motorcycle seat isn’t always simple. Every rider, bike, and style is different - and the perfect seat depends on the details. Some key questions to consider are:

• What year, make, and model is your motorcycle?
• Is the bike completely stock, or have you added anything that could affect fitment (stretched bags, aftermarket tank, backrest hardware, etc.)?
• Are you replacing a stock seat, or upgrading from another aftermarket seat?
• Do you ride solo, or 2-up regularly?
• If you ride with a passenger, do they care more about comfort, back support, or both?
• Do you ride short trips, daily cruising, or long highway miles?
• Are you after a low-profile slammed look, or maximum comfort?
• Do you want extra lower-back or lumbar support?
• Do you prefer a narrow seat for easier reach, or a wider seat for comfort?
• Is comfort your main priority, or is style more important?
• Do you like a firm seat that breaks in over time, or something plush right out of the box?
• Do you need a rider or passenger backrest?
• Have you dealt with tailbone pressure, back pain, or numbness from previous seats?
• What’s your height and inseam? (Helps determine low vs. tall seat options and riding position.)
• What style are you looking for:
• Low-profile / slammed
• Touring comfort
• Step-up / fastback / club style
• Solo seat vs. 2-up
• Any stitching, material, or leather preferences?
• Do you want something simple and clean, or a custom design?
