>> CHOOSING A SEAT
FIND THE
PROPER SUPPORT
On a long ride, your body can quickly
tell whether a seat works for you. For
example, does your back still feel relaxed
after hours in the saddle? Do your
hands fall naturally to the hand controls?
Do you feel comfortable putting your
feet down at a stop sign? It’s a lot to think
about, but a Harley-Davidson ® dealer
can find the seat for the comfort, style and
control you want.
Badlander ® Seat
Was it made for ‘cruising the boulevard,’ or was ‘cruising the
boulevard’ made for it? Long and lean, its custom look brings
you lower to the ground than most other seats. Think of it
as an attitude adjustment disguised as a posture adjustment.
Custom Collection Seats
These saddles combine radical styling with contoured padding
for long haul support. Top grain cowhide leathers stretch
over the hand-laid fiberglass seat pan for extra durability.
Comes in solo, low-profile and mini-touring styles.
Reach ® Forward Position Seat
It’s good to have both feet on the ground when you come to a stop.
Specially-designed to move riders with a shorter inseam closer to the
controls, the Reach Seat also features a low-profile and a narrow
thigh zone to bring the legs closer together to minimize leg stretch.

REACH ® SEAT
Touring Seat with Rider Backrest
Hit the road with more than the wind at your back. When equipped
with a rider backrest, a touring seat adds a whole new level
of comfort. A backrest positions the rider in an upright touring
posture, and adds adjustable lower back support.
THE COMFORT ZONE A seat is more than just leather and foam.
For maximum highway comfort, a broad seating surface distributes weight
to reduce pressure points. For a short rider, a narrow, tapered thigh
zone provides easier reach to the ground. And a stepped seat profile keeps
the rider from sliding back during acceleration.
