Guys, ive just got an rsd 2 up boss seat for my S. Looks really nice. My only concern is that im gonna be using the 2nd hole on the rear fender for the attachment of the rsd seat. Do I need to buy something else to put in that screw so not to scratch the fender? Looks like its gonna scratch it. I tried it on and theres contact with the paint on the attachment point. Or did you just put some washers in between the seat and fender? Thanks.

Seat review
Well, it took a few days to make it final. Thanks to all who helped but I didn't get any thing that was suggested. They were all good choices.
I got a new seat !! It is a Saddlemen LS-Step UP. The seat was a bit pricey. Saddlemen company is a bit proud of their seats and so far I am proud of my decision and want to show it off.
Just installed it this evening and me and the wife went for a spin. It feels great to me and the wife says it is very comfortable on her end too. They said it took a while to break in but it is already feeling good. I am happy. First picture is of the stock LRS 2016 seat. Mike

Hey, I was wondering if you had put some more miles on your seat with your lady? I have really been considering this seat but I don't want my girl to get uncomfortable on longer rides. Thanks in advance this thread has helped my search a ton!!

The stock plain lowrider seat is pretty comfy for my girlfriend. For around town we use a Le Pera cobra because it looks cool, LOL.
The thing my girlfriend likes the most is the sissy bar. I went with the kuryakyn under seat sissy, works great.
Also being almost 5'9" and short arms, I prefer drag bars with a decent amount of full back. I have the WO560 bars with the most pull back and they come back a hair further than I'd like. I might go with the next up model bars with slightly less pull back...eventually.

Hey Chief, Yes, I have put several hundred miles on since the new seat. I am still liking it very well. It looks great too! My wife has not ridden a whole lot but says the seat still feels good when she does. Have not tried a hundred mile or more trip with her at one time with this seat yet but expect we will soon. It has the gel inserts front and back. My bike LRS accelerates very fast and that seat keeps my butt on the bike. I don't think that this seat was really designed for a large bottomed passenger but a small or medium sized one should work out pretty good. Mike

thanks a bunch!!! She is maybe 5 ft and 110 lbs so I think she'd be okay haha. I also have a LRS and I'm basically down to deciding between this seat and the Corbin Widowmaker someone else suggested. It looks more suited for longer rides but I have seen a lot of bad reviews of their customer service. I think I'm leaning more towards the saddleman now though after this. Haha thanks again. Happy riding 🤘🏼
