I am riding on this seat, in the Holy Land, cross country...one of the reasons I got it, was the feeling I always almost flew off the stock, when I speeded up...on the syndicate...I am planted in! Love your simple, down to earth quality videos! Keep it going strong👊👊
I just got the same seat a few weeks ago and installed it. Was able to ride on 2/12/22 for the 1st time. The seat is very good, way better than the stock I had on it. Definitely worth the money.
Good review on that Syndicate seat! Glad that you can stay in the saddle longer and still be comfortable. All stock seats I've ridden, Indian, and Harley both were unbearable before you could make a hundred miles. If I were a manufacturer, I would put decent seats on them, rather than have the customer poor mouth the way you couldn't ride without pain with the stock seat. I'm just saying from my own experiences. I imagine some riders have never had a problem with a stock seat. Great video dadwithabike! Ride and stay safe down there in big Austin.
Was looking at the Indian comfort seat then noticed the solo syndicate seat. They look very similar in shape. Is there much of a difference? Edit: Just seen you already answered this question. Thanks!
@@dadwithabike it’s definitely not the best. But just putting out a feeler to see if the syndicate is enough of an upgrade to be worth the money. Thanks!
I have been blessed! Because I got a 2021 scout 60 and the seat that this bike came with from the factory 🏭 is one of the most comfortable seats I have ever gotten on a factory bike. I turned down buying a scout bobber just because the seat felt like a solid rock when I sat on it at the dealership. Scout 60 seats Ride on all day long.
Great video man, I have the comfort seat and I love it. Zero complaints. But if I ever have to get a new seat, it will be this one! Thanks for the review,
Right on - thanks for watching. I would be interested in your opinion in the difference between the two - so if you ever make it into an Indian dealer and get to sit on a syndicate .... let us know.
@@dadwithabike I absolutely will! I’ll be headed to the dealer next week to pick up my Tag, hopefully. If they have one, I’ll have them throw it on my bike and take it for a quick spin and get back to you.
@@luisgonzalez8391 no they haven’t had a new bike come in with the syndicate seat yet. I have since upgraded to a Custom solo, springer/tractor style, seat. And it’s absolutely amazing!
I sat on it but I don't carry a passenger. For me, it's okay as a passenger and is more comfortable that the stock one. For ultimate passenger comfort you'll have to do Corbin I would think
It's really really nice. I normally don't like manufacturer provided aftermarket stuff cause they tend to be pricey and not the best .. but this is pretty dang nice.
@@dadwithabike normally they are overpriced. But if it's as good as you say, then it's at minimum in the same price range. It has the looks I like and at this time I still want/need a 2 up seat
@@dadwithabike I have the Corbin brave saddle I would love to compare wish I lived closer for meet up. The only thing I don’t like about Corbin is fitment on bike.
Welp I been holding out on getting a new seat for a year... Syndicate it is. Thank you sir for the review!
Glad it was helpful

Awesome! I am glad my videos are helpful and yes, this Syndicate seat is a great seat! Safe travels!
If you need to access the battery, do you have to disconnect the passenger seat bolts from the frame?

Yeah, Indian did a good job on this one - for darn sure!

Thanks .... and yeah, wish decent seats were standard issue
I litterally just bought a new seat... Im going to return it and get this seat. Thanks a lot, dadwithabike. :)
Hope you enjoy it! It really is the best seat I have owned on this bike
Who makes the mirrors you’ve got?

Cool, no problem
great review. You literally passed by my house! Ride this route multiple times a week.
That's awesome ... yeah I live out by Mansfield Dam
Thanks for the review. I'm going to to be grabbing the Syndicate Solo. Hopefully will be just as good.
I'm sure it will be ... I am very very surprised at their comfort
Good to hear. I might spring for it. You hear that Indian? Give this man a sponsorship or something. He is selling your products for you.
Haha, thanks - glad you liked the video
Anybody out there have a comparison of the syndicate vs Indian’s comfort seat?
I've not seen one - but I did sit on the Indian Comfort seat and didn't like it - it was too wide for me.
@@dadwithabike it’s definitely not the best. But just putting out a feeler to see if the syndicate is enough of an upgrade to be worth the money. Thanks!

Yeah, night and day difference between those two seats for sure
Thanks mate.
Have you used the Saddleman 2up? If so, hows it compare?
I have the saddlemen solo which is the same as the saddlemen 2-up for the driver. This seat is far more comfortable
I thought Indian put the Syndicate solo on the Rogue? Good review though!
They did, this is the two up version they released before the rogue
Awesome to here cos I ordered mine yesterday- what do you recon it’s like for the pillion?
I sat on it and could maybe do an hour back there. It's better than stock for sure but best passenger comfort will come from Corbin

Did you get to sit on it, im also curious to know which one is better!

Congrats on being able to find a decent seat in stock after yours got vandalized!✌👍
Thanks ... I was lucky they had it, and it turned out a little better
Good review nice beautiful ride but you never showed the seat
I linked in the video to the unboxing and walk around. I did a complete separate video on first impression
Nice. Sounds like it's worth checking it out.
But butt greatly appreciated it...
Would you say that this seat is better than the comfort seat? Or do they compare?
I think it is much better than the comfort seat. It's an all day kind of comfort.
@@dadwithabike im sorry i forgot to also ask if you ever had a Corbin seat and how does it compare to the syndicate?
@@luisgonzalez8391 corbin is the best comfort but $$$$$*10000 🙂
@@dadwithabike yea that is the main problem 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for answering my questions. You were really helpful!!!
Just ordered it today, looking forward to riding more than 2 hours without my ass going on fire.
Had anyone ride on the passenger pillion? If so, comfort of it?
I sat on it but I don't carry a passenger. For me, it's okay as a passenger and is more comfortable that the stock one. For ultimate passenger comfort you'll have to do Corbin I would think
@@dadwithabike I volunteer as tribute 😂😂. That would be some scene. 2 Texan men rolling around on the same bike ROTFLMAO
Well. Now I want this seat. Was trying to figure out what to get
It's really really nice. I normally don't like manufacturer provided aftermarket stuff cause they tend to be pricey and not the best .. but this is pretty dang nice.
@@dadwithabike normally they are overpriced. But if it's as good as you say, then it's at minimum in the same price range. It has the looks I like and at this time I still want/need a 2 up seat
Sold on it!
Is there a spot for the tool under the seat ?
There's a spot for the weird little tool they provide but it's a useless tool.
@@dadwithabike but with seat installed can u get to it?
@@sammy9101 not without removing the seat
@@dadwithabike I have the Corbin brave saddle I would love to compare wish I lived closer for meet up. The only thing I don’t like about Corbin is fitment on bike.
@@sammy9101 I heard that ... so when you say fitment, is it how it looks or it's a weird fit on the bike?
