Curious if it raises you up, comfort, etc...


Thanks

 

I have the heated hammock on my 11 FLHTC. It's very comfortable. Less pressure points. I didn't notice a difference in height. The girlfriend said she feels like the passenger portion is sloped forward. She loves the heat though. I run mine on low and it's almost too hot for me. You don't feel the road imperfections in the seat. Even the big hits, where it feels like the bike bottoms out, you don't feel it in the seat.

 

I just did this two days ago, and i don't feel any difference in riding position at all. I did notice that my butt feels better as the seat is a lot more comfortable and the seat takes the harshness out of the really hard bumps that the suspension passes on. And the heat is a nice touch too!

 

I went with non heated hammock and love it. It puts me back slightly but at the same height. Wife says she used to slide forward going over bumps on the stock, not so on the hammock. I installed the backrest along with mine and love it!!

 

Had one on mine for a season. Back to stock for now. I didn't notice that much of a difference. Got a buddy that loves his.

 

I found a heated hammock on Ebay for my 2012 Ultra Limited... Love it, pushes you back a little from the gas tank and is more comfortable.

 

i almost opted for the hammock or zeppelin but winet for a russell day long leather with heat instead.....absolutely worth every penny to ride and not have a pain in the a$$.

 

I got a heated rider and passenger Hammock seat off ebay for about 1/2 price of new for my 2012 limited.

I noticed the seat raised me about 1" and back about 1 1/2 inches. I had to modify the adjustable back rest and install new bars and add a taller windshield but it is much more comfortable than stock and easier on my knees when on long rides. I am 6' 0" with a 33" inseam.

There are several models out for the different generations of bikes so it will depend on the bike you are putting it on and which seat you got.

There is lots of threads about this seat and model numbers for which bikes to help guide you. I would recommend it, and then search ebay for cheaper seat.
