Saddlemen separates and divides the seat into two functions; one a vertical surface for back support and the other a horizontal platform to softly support the butt. The flat portion permits the rider to sink into and comfortably float upon the SaddleGel filled seat while the lumbar rest provides support unaffected by the compression caused as the rider settles into position. On conventional seats, any rider depression of the flat platform pulls the lumbar portion of the seat forward and cramps the rider’s position, often resulting in a condition fondly known as a “wedgie.” The Saddlemen split cushion prevents this and provides comfort – mile after mile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saddlemen.com\/image\/catalog\/data\/product-spec\/Explorer-Spec.jpg\" alt=\"Seat Dimensions Schematic\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eA\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eB\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eF\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eX\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.saddlemen.com\/catalog\/documents\/pdf\/IS-Seat%20Basic%20Cruiser%20Install%2011-400240%20Rev13%20(09-22).pdf\" alt=\"Install Instructions\"\u003eDownload Installation Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddlemen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53260667486515,"sku":"SA+800-23-040","price":670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/6764\/5747\/files\/sa-800-23-040-1a7ab41a1c1fe538275bd656ea161003561a2336.jpg?v=1777395090","url":"https:\/\/houseofharley.com\/products\/saddlemen-800-23-040-2006-2017-flstc-heritage-explorer%e2%84%a2-special-seat-with-drivers-backrest","provider":"House of Harley®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
