Help with Road Zeppelin

I' m looking for someone in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that has a Road Zeppelin on a late model Ultra. I have an 07 Ultra and would like to see one on another Ultra and get some feed back from the owner as well. It is a big investments and I want to do it right the first time.

Thanks

Alan

They don't make that seat for the 07's or later,

Fatty gas tank won't allow the original seat to work anymore,

07s still have the five gallon tank.

Well,

For whatever reason, the Zeppelin will not fit an 07 Street Glide,

My neighbor has an 07 and wanted the air seat for his bike, having seen mine in leather and heard my glowing praise about it,

The seat will not fit his 07, do not know why, he tried to order it at the dealer.

I assumed it was the tank, I also assumed that it would not fit any 07,

For a opinion of the seat, I love it and so does the wife. She can ride three times longer on this seat on our 04 Road Glide, over the Mustang wide pillion that I had on my 03 Super Glide,

I bought a pad that had the gel and memory foam in it for the Mustang and it did not help much. We used the pad on top of the Zeppelin her first ride on the Zep, and she found she was more comfortable with out the pad,

The seat feels like a plush sofa, large and comfy,

I bought the Road Zeppelin backrest also,

I have a 2007 Ultra Classic and put the Zeppelin on and it is very comfortable. I feel it was a good investment.

I just returned from a 1442 mile six day trip. I love the seat. I adjust it every now and then just to change things up. I almost bought an 09 UC but when I found out my seat would not fit. I kept the 07 Ultra and the seat. I know I will trade someday but not yet.

I have no idea why it wont fit an SG.
