I ordered an Extended Freedom Solo seat for my 24’ SG yesterday and wanted to watch a few reviews. Thank you for sharing, I feel better about ordering online now. I did talk to Eli yesterday and he’s a good dude, someone I could do business with for many years.
Here’s my review on the Venom Seat after 20k miles. It’s simply an amazing seat! I am so thankful to Harley for putting such a crappy seat on my 22 SGST. This seat is still like new. There was no break in time whatsoever. My first long ride was from NM to Sturgis last year. And back. What a great seat!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the seat. That's a bummer the rubber protectors worn down so quickly. Enjoy Sturgis bro. Ride safe and enjoy your ride. 👊👍🇺🇸
I was about to order it after long deliberation… but now I’m not sure. What is up with that ridiculous gap up front between the lip and the tank?!? 🙈 thanks
How do you install those nuts that come with it? Do they just sit on top of the bracket or do they hook into the brackets?? Trying to install my Freedom seat now and am confused. TIA
Hi! So, once you have to seat brackets through the seat bolts. You have to hold/pull up the seat Cushing by the seat bolt and then you put the nuts on. It’s a little tight but worth it for sure. I hope this helps.
Do you find that the passenger pillion wears theough the paint on your bike just the same as it does on your frame or easier? It sits on thise rubber grommets and that sits directly on the paint on the fender. Im not sure this is going to workmout for me, as well as that pillion is wobbly as all hell when its installed
Hi is that a standard reach or extended reach seat it looks like its back a bit, do you mind me asking how tall are you and how's the reach to the bars. Peter from down under OZ.
I don’t know man the back seat looks like a I Hop fluffy pancake . Maybe the Saddleman performance gripper would look better since your bike is more of a performance. Good video 👍
I could be wrong , but I believe you need to remove the Harley pieces on the frame. I think that the seat may be off in the fit of. Still it looks nice. I'm still shopping!! :)
You should take your bike to JD Cycle Works in Nazareth Pa. Yesterday he tuned a 131 on the dyno to 156HP/160 Tq. Check out Cyclefanatix Video on it. Nice home gym BTW! 💪
It's a scam, I order and payed for the combo. 4 1/2 months later tired of waiting. I canceled my order and only received a partial refund. That's my experience with bad boy cycles.

Your welcomed brother. Thanks for watching!
@@2147crew You bet!👊👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the update brotha! So the backrest adjust backwards to where you can kinda lean back? Is that correct?
Yes. Lean back or move forward.
Love it outstanding performance
Thank you!

Use code 2147Crew for 10%off. The tank wasn’t installed.

Have you contacted Bad Boyz re the rubber grommet issue? How did the seat perform on that extended ride to Sturgis?
They reached out. I just haven’t followed up yet. No complaints on the seat bro. I’ll be doing a review on it as well.

It hasn’t yet on mine. Nor the carbon fiber fender. Only the wear of the rubber grommets.
Did you have a hard time with installation? I bought the same seat after watching this, but it came with no instructions.
I didn’t. It I will say that it’s a tight fit for sure. I had to snug it in.
Nice seat and looking forward to seeing you my bro.
Same here! Next week is right around the corner. LOL
Lol 😂 yes sir
1 have a 2014 street glide ... how did you install and stop your passenger eat from wobbling. ??
Hello, snug it into the main seat screw posts and screwed the rear bolt in. That did it for me. Hope this helps.
Hi is that a standard reach or extended reach seat it looks like its back a bit, do you mind me asking how tall are you and how's the reach to the bars. Peter from down under OZ.
Hello! It’s the standard reach. The reach to the bars is good for me. I’m 5’8” my friend.
Maybe the solo seat. But that passenger seat and backrest look out a place.
The solo seat is normally on there alone. I’ll have the passenger seat on with my king tour pack.
Question would the freedom standard seat be a fit for a shorter inseam rider? About how tall are you?
Yes. The extended is for taller riders.
I don’t know man the back seat looks like a I Hop fluffy pancake . Maybe the Saddleman performance gripper would look better since your bike is more of a performance. Good video 👍
Lol (I HOP)! Thanks bro good suggestion!
How was the reach on the sea? I'm 6'1 and I need something to push me back in the saddle
It’s good. But you probably need the extended reach bro. Use my code for a 10% discount. 2147crew
Does the seat hold water when it gets wet or you get caught in the rain?
Hello. It’s does but very minimal.
They are a great company I love my set up
Agreed and agreed! It’s very comfortable and looks nice as well.
Did your passenger pilon ever seem loose to you?
Hello. It hasn’t.
Is that a standard seat or extended reach? also how tall are you?
The standard seat. 5’8”. Check out my initial vid I made on it. Subscribe if you like the content bro. Thanks for watching!
Why is there a large gap between the set and gas tank and the seat and back pillion?
The seat was not installed
@@2147crew ok gotcha 👌
Seat looks awesome
Thank you! Nice vids on your channel bro!
I could be wrong , but I believe you need to remove the Harley pieces on the frame. I think that the seat may be off in the fit of. Still it looks nice. I'm still shopping!! :)
Shop away. Lol
I would agree there’s like a 2” gap from the tank. I decided to go with the road sofa from saddleman it’s coming Monday’s
I just ordered the same seat
That’s great!
why does the seat not fit flush on ur gas tank ?
It was not installed.
You should take your bike to JD Cycle Works in Nazareth Pa. Yesterday he tuned a 131 on the dyno to 156HP/160 Tq. Check out Cyclefanatix Video on it. Nice home gym BTW! 💪
I saw that vid! And thank you.
Check out Moonshine Harley videos out of Franklin Tn.. They build badass motors too, very knowledgeable ...
@@richardmoorer2668 they have nice builds as well. Check out my newer vids where I have Trask Performance install a Stage 2 Turbo on my bike. Lol
Does it sit you lower then stock?
In my opinion it does slightly. However the shorter reach sits you closer to the tank.
But... is it comfortable?
Lol. Yes, it is. Very comfortable IMO.

Man, that’s unfortunate.
I waited 6months but finally received mine. It’s a quality seat but to be honest, not anything that I’d be willing to wait 6 months again for.
👀
👍
No one has sat on your passenger seat. That’s sad for you bro.
What? That’s not normal? Lol. Good times!
