Harley® Hammock Touring Seat
#11
They don't make the road zeplin seat for the 08-09 touring model so i drove a 100 miles round trip to sit on a Hammock seat. I did not like the looks of it and it was comfy for me buy my wife did not like her seating so we ordered a sundowner. We have a 09 Ultra and the stock seat is ok but i would like to be a little lower so we went with the sd.

Iron Butt
I bought a Root-Beer Ultra 3 1/2 months ago and I do love it. The Ultra replaced my Honda VTX1300R. I am 5'9" and I can barely place my full foot on the ground. My wife and I just returned from North Carolina. I could have used the Hammock. After 4 hours my butt needed replacement. I am wondering about the extra inch in height. Riding in Jax is not a problem. If the wife and I take more extended trips, I just may ned to spend the $500 for the butt therapy seat. I wonder...

It's worth it if it works! I do a lot of distance riding. I knew before I took delivery of my 09 Ultra that I'd probably be modding the seat. Now that I've got about 1300 miles on it, I know I'll be doing it eventually. I've had the Russell Day-Long Saddle conversion (www.day-long.com) on the last three bikes I've owned. They're absolutely first class. No fanny fungus for me on any of them. They're not cheap. I "wish" they were $500, , but I'll gladly pay it because I know I'll get a quality product that will last and work for me.
FWIW!
