Question regarding the Hammock touring seat
#41
After several rides on my Hammock, with one being 5 hours long, I've decided that it's not right for me. No matter what I do on this seat I still feel like I'm too far forward and cramped against the gas tank.
I've been doing some additional research and I think I'm going to bail on HD seats all together and try the Mustang Super Touring. Backs me up around 2 inches, which should work better for me.
Looks like someone is going to get a deal, again, on a barely used Hammock with rider backrest. Getting tired of losing money while I search for that perfect comfort zone.....

Like I said before, buying a seat is the hardest thing to buy. Fits great when you buy it but turns ugly after a few thousand miles.

Why don't you just buy the Zepplin seat and be done with it? You can adjust it to your liking right off the bat - and then when that position becomes uncomfortable push a button or two and get comfortable all over again and so on and so on. No need to keep buying seat after seat.

Just the opposite. It moved me a little bit closer to the front, but I got use to it - no problem for me. Maybe for you.
Good luck

I have two heated hammock seats. The first one was on my 09 Ultra and love the heat and the wife approves of her seat area, that matters a lot. I liked it enough that I bought a 14 take off CVO heated hammock seat for my 14 limited. Wife approves. Longest day in that saddle for me was 780 miles and I still wanted to keep going but my friend was cold and tuckered. We had a gas stop ever hundred miles or so. Heat really helps.
But since we are all built differently why not try the Harley demo? I have seen the seats at the dealer with DEMO printed all over them just for us to try before we by.
The Hammock seat isn't a low seat, so definitely try one for fit.

I just purchased a '14 Ultra Limited and was hoping to use the Hammock seat (53051-09) that I had on my '08 Ultra Classic since the wife and I enjoyed it so much out on the road. The Hammock seat that I have seems to fit my new bike perfectly but I noticed in the online catalog it says that it shouldn't fit since I have a touring model that comes with a tour pack and that I should order the new SKU for the Hammock seat (52000126).
Would someone that has gone down this path (or knows the answer) let me know what I am missing here? Thanks!

I have heard good things about the heated seat but in south Texas, I could almost benefit more from a cooled one

I never understood the reason for a heated seat unless you live in Canada and ride all year. I live in Chicago, but never even thought of getting a heated seat and I ride all winter. I have enough padding there that I probably wouldn't even feel the heat.
I do have the RZ seat though, a lot more versatile for me.
