Long rides on cruiser motorcycles often come with a cost: lower back pain. Viking Bags, a motorcycle luggage and aftermarket parts manufacturer, has addressed this with the release of its Iron Born Diamond Stitch 2-Up Seat for Harley-Davidson Softail Street Bob FXBB/S models, Harley Softail Standard models, Indian Scout Bobber, Rogue, and Chief models.
The seat is built around a gel-infused PU foam base that spreads pressure more evenly under the rider. This reduces the strain that builds up in the lower back over long stretches of highway riding. A step-up design also places the passenger slightly higher, while giving the rider a more defined lower-back support zone, a detail that touring riders tend to value.
The outer shell is made from weather-resistant PVC leather, which means rain, heat, and road grime are less likely to degrade the material over time. The diamond-stitch pattern across the surface adds a classic club-style look that fits naturally on cruiser builds, particularly those with a bobber or street-style finish.
Mounting hardware is included with the seat, and installation is rated as easy. The seat measures 30 inches in length, 10.5 inches wide at the front, and 6.5 inches wide at the rear, dimensions that support both comfort and rider control through turns and at speed.
The Harley version of the seat comes with two gel pads, one for the rider and one for the passenger. The Viking Iron Born Diamond Stitch 2-Up Seat for Indian Scout and Chief platforms includes a single gel pad for the rider. Those looking to explore fit options across Indian models can browse the full range of Viking motorcycle gel seats for Indian Scouts directly on the Viking Bags website.
Viking Bags manufactures model-specific seats and luggage for major brands, including Harley-Davidson, Indian, Honda, Yamaha, and BMW. The full motorcycle luggage bags collection and parts are available at Viking Bags’ website.
