ustom seats and saddlebags are at the top of most riders’ wish lists. Saddlemen has just made that dream come true. The Tattoo Flamed Seats–the Solo and the Profiler–give any metric cruiser a great custom appearance. True custom seats, they’re comfortable and look great and Saddlemen didn’t stop there. There’s a full lineup of matching Highwayman Tattoo Saddlebags and Tool Pouches to complete this package, adding up to a coordinated custom addition you can count on every time.
     Have you seen these seats, the Tattoo Solo and Tattoo Profiler? Both feature a flame stitch pattern for a distinct 3-D custom-shop effect. They’re as cool as it comes. For that Tattoo Solo there’s a matching pillion pad with the same flame-stitch design. And the Profiler, as that name suggests, does wonders for the silhouette of a cruiser. It’s a low, sleek, custom-correct saddle and it’s two-up friendly. Both seats include Saddlemen’s exclusive SaddleGel inserts, too. SaddleGel, if you haven’t experienced it, delivers a level of comfort you have to feel to believe. It makes a huge difference in a seat, especially a thinly padded custom seat. Neatly integrated under the flame-stitched top covers here, SaddleGel dampens road shock and goes a long way towards eliminating the “numb butt” syndrome so common to lesser custom saddles. With these seats you can stay out on the road for hours. SaddleGel is guaranteed for the life of the bike, too.
     Now, combine either of those seats with some style-matched saddlebags and tool pouches and you’ll have a metric cruiser that won’t quit. Saddlemen’s Highwayman Tattoo Saddlebags are a “throw over” design made with a rugged combination of man-made materials and leather, as well as a hard backside to keep the bags shaped right and looking right. There are genuine leather straps with lockable chrome-plated/quick-release buckles and there are plenty of sizes to choose from. There’s a Medium that measures 13 x 6 x 9.5, a Large that’s 15.5 x 6 x 9.5 and the Tattoo Highwayman Jumbo measures a generous 18 x 6 x 12. All feature an adjustable laced yoke for a great fit and there are cutout reliefs to eliminate the need for any turn-signal relocation. The Tattoo seat and saddlebag combo is a match made in cruiser heaven, a totally coordinated package. Add in a matching Tattoo Tool Pouch, a handy 12 x 6 x 5.25 size, and you’ve completed the flame-stitch look.
     Seats and saddlebags are always good sellers. Combine the two into a matching combo and you’ve just turned a good seller into a great seller. Parts Unlimited has it all. Saddlemen looks, comfort and uncompromised utility won’t break any budgets, either. The whole Tattoo lineup, seats, saddlebags and tool pouches, is priced right. Check with your Parts rep now.
