Saddlemen 8500J

• A sharp, custom version of Saddlemen's® popular touring seat that is engineered and styled to add superb comfort and quality to touring-type and cruiser motorcycles.
• The seat's contours have been carefully developed using our decades of experience to provide mile after mile of riding pleasure.
• Explorer™ Special seats generally have the same height as the motorcycle's original seat, but with a  carefully shaped front section so the rider can better touch the ground at stops.
• Leather-grain SaddleHyde™ seat cover offers excellent comfort with classic feel but is weather-resistant, providing for low-maintenance ownership.
• This stitch-top cover provides initial pushiness and a custom appearance. At the same time, the progressive density foam and SaddleGel™ foundation for both driver and passenger offers supportive comfort for hours on end.
• Accent rows of dozens of perfectly spaced chrome studs add the right level of custom to your seat.
• The exclusive, unique split-cushion design separates the seating surface from the lumbar support, reducing tailbone and backpressure for maximum long-range comfort
• These seats feature large, plush lumbar sections that support the driver's back and posterior so well that big miles add up before you notice it.
• The passenger section has been altered to improve comfort by strategically adding foam height and shaping the seating area, so the passenger is not forced into the driver and has a better view over the driver's shoulder.
• Special care was taken, so the seat's pillion area fits well with backrests or rear trunks.
• The Explorer Special seat is also available with a built-in Saddlemen® driver's backrest that can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically to the rider's back and is removable for a sleek appearance.
• Each seat is easy-to-install with all necessary mounting hardware and instructions included.
• Designed and made in the U.S.A.
