Quick Road Zeppelin First Impressions
Aside from the obvious comfort, I think harley should put a wide seat like this on all tag's ... IMHO ... reason being the seat kind of holds you in place in hard cornering. It's a little taller and lots wider so, I "feel" like I have more leverage in steering (could be just that I'm not sliding).
Now about comfort .. what can I say ... this thing is wonderful. I had one on my 07 Ultra that was leather ... to be honest, I like the vinyl better ... less maintenance and it's more flexible so it fits to you better. Anyway ... my $0.02 worth.
On the Rushmores, you need an additional electrical connection kit. With the kit, seat and installation, it came to $730 (this includes my 10% discount for being a vet). I had harley do the install so I would get the 2 year warranty (purchased w/in 60 days of bike purchase and installed by hd).
I'll include the pics here even though I put them in the what I did today thread.

I like you guys, I love my Road Zeppelin seat. I had mine for l 1/2 years and really like the ability of changing the air pressure while going down the road. No more sore butt between fuel stops.
I did have to send my in to have the front bladder replaced last year. I was lucky that I still had a couple of weeks left on the l year warranty.

The new ones only have two buttons (I think this started in 09 with the tank size change ... but don't quote me on that), one for front and one for rear ... my 07 Ultra's had the three ... but you are correct ... the air thing works for the passenger too.

To touch on another question above, my Babe loves the RZ, we have about 20K on it and on trips I'll feel her reach down and hit the switch to change the air maybe twice a day and no complaints. As for me my butt like the seat with NO air in it. I think that comes from riding too many old farm tractors growing up .
