The technology available in 1975 in the motorcycle seat
business was in its primitive stage. Even into the early 80's all seat
companies were still attempting to perfect their designs. In the new millennium,
most seat companies are still using the same old antiquated seat molds
developed in the beginning of the replacement seat industry. Not Hartco.
Because every saddle is custom made, we are able to utilize the latest
secrets in riding comfort on any year seat, whether it is a 1974
or 2005 model. As with all Hartco Saddles, the seat can be for a lumberjack
or a ballerina. We build every saddle to the height, weight, and inseam
of the rider. We care about both driver and passenger - and each seat is
built accordingly.
The President Saddle for the GL 1000 comes with or without
a built-in, removable and fully adjustable driver's backrest.
All Hartco touring saddles can be ordered with cloth
(velour) tops to control heat and perspiration or in all soft-touch vinyl.
