I get to ride all over the country and in all kinds of weather. I have made many changes to my 2009 FLHTC over the years and one of them was to install a Saddlemen Heated Seat.
The original Saddlemen seat was installed on 1/29/2012 and had 117251 miles on it, when I decided to replace it. It had been subject to every kind of weather condition you can think of and even though it was still comfortable and the heater worked the leather was starting to crack. Not surprising with the miles and weather conditions it was subject to.
I purchased this new Saddlemen seat and installed it on 9/23/2021. This new one has gel pads in it and separate new styled switches for heating the rider and passenger sections. Looks like I am going to continue being spoiled. I like and think I deserve that LOL.
The first thing was to reposition the rear seat tab. After doing that, the seat was placed on the shelf while the wiring was handled.
I removed the main fuse before working on the wiring.
It was an easy installation but did require paying attention to a few details.
The new seat is very comfortable and yes, I did try out the two heat ranges even though I am in Florida. No, I did not have to leave them on long to know they would do their job when the weather changes or I ride north.
If you want comfort in a seat Saddlemen has a wide assortment for many model motorcycles. Some models are available with heaters. You can find out more by visiting their website at https://saddlemen.com/
