I have owned The Ultimate seat on 2 bikes. My wife insist's on it. You wont find a better seat. They are not waterproof, which allows them to breathe. They are designed to sit in not sit on. The seat does have a "break in" period and will feel even better with time. The Ultimate seat has never been "the choice" for the Harley experts, but I have not ridden on a more comfortable seat then these.

I would consider them, if they made a leather seat.

I read their reasons why...

But when I bought my new Cadillac, I didn't ask for vinyl seats. There IS a difference, but leather is harder to work with, and a lot of seat manufacturers are getting away from it because of that.

I also won't wear vinyl boots, or put vinyl saddle bags on a Heritage....

I'll be interested to read your review after you've had a chance to ride it a bit.

I tried several different seats on my Softail and the Ultimate was the clear winner. Have often thought about getting one for my SG. Good luck with it and let us know how you like it!

How did you like the tall boy Ultimate? I have the Mustang wide touring now, but thought I might try an Ultimate at the Bikes, Blues and BBQ event this year.

Wojo - how is that ultimate tall boy seat? I kind of like how it is 2 seats in one, solo and 2 up.

Default 6 Harley's

Ok, I've owned 6 Harley's all but one dressers. Tried about everything out there so ... quickly settle on a Mustang seat and enjoy the ride. It's that simple folks.

Not for me it isn't
Tried a Mustang - didn't find it any better than the stock seat. Got an Ultimate Tall Boy = best seat I have owned
