Saddleman Extended Reach Road Sofa versus Harley's Tallboy

Post: # 42Post L2 »

2024 Center Cooled Touring Saddleman Extended Reach Road Sofa versus Harley's Tallboy.

I'm 6'3" and the Saddleman is perfect for me.

I see the SM is squared off in the back of the rider's area as opposed to the more cury HD design. I haven't tried a SM as I'm just not sold on the looks of it. Does it bother you with it being more blocked than the more rounded one?

Two things I really like about the Saddleman - it sits me back and the nose is way narrower allowing my legs forward because they're not pushed out wider (if that makes any sense).

It sure does about the front. That's one of the big reasons I like a two piece seat. Most of them are sleeker in the front. Now if I could just get a damn backrest for this one, I'd be a happy camper.
