Hartco's Saddle for
Honda VTX 1300 Retro and S
The Hartco saddle for the VTX 1300 Retro and S models is such a drastic improvement over the factory seat that there is not enough space here to describe all the improvements. When the driver attempts to sit back into the large part of the factory seat, the seat begins to angle upward forcing the driver to hold himself back in the seat and essentially ride on his tail bone and butt bones. Then, he continually slides forward down to the more narrow part of the seat that offers no support. The passenger is relegated to a narrow, humped up, hard pillion pad that could lead to separation or divorce.
The Hartco seat is a full sixteen inches of scooped out, supportive area that cradles the driver’s bottom and does not allow you to slide forward. The passenger’s area is a full 14 1/2 inches across and is constructed to their weight so they are not sitting on a foam designed for a heavier person as is the case with most seat companies.
The saddle comes with or without a removable and fully adjustable driver’s backrest and is available with an optional velour cloth top to control heat and perspiration.
