zeppelin
Hey guys, do any of you have an older zeppelin seat, part number 51072-09 and your Rushmore bike? There's a new part number out and not sure if the old fits right...

I believe that I have the answer that you are looking for. The Earlier seat that fits the '09 will also work on Rushmore bikes. I am using the one that I had on my '09 Ultra Classic on my '15 CVO Limited. The difference in the newer Zeppelins is they put additional relief for the left saddlebag lid to open without having to flex the lid slightly to open and close it. You don't have to flex it very much though and I also used mine on the '14 Limited that I had before the CVO for 2 years without causing any problems. Take the "Good Deal" and I'm sure you'll be happy with your decision.

Yes, to above.
I have a 2011 Zeppelin that fits my 2016 Road Glide and the left saddlebag door will touch on the seat if you don't push on the seat a little when opening the door which is not an issue at all.. You do have to buy a power cable for the seat. The power comes from a pigtail connector in the left side cover.
I Have the old one on my 14 ultra limited... They say it won't fit but it does... On the left side of the bike, the bag lid rubs slightly against the seat when opening and closing it. but it's no big deal. The Zeppelin is Butt **** for me... I have have rode the zeppelin since my 07 Ultra... My Wife won't ride on anything butt...
