Looking for Specific Feedback
Looking for feedback from those who have a 17' or up Ultra Limited or Classic with a Harley Adjustable Rider Backrest and a Hammock seat. Wanting to know if the adjustable backrest works properly with the Hammock seat or whether there are fitment issues leaving a large gap in the slot between the rider and the pillion. Let me know if you have this set-up.

I've got the hammock and I like it. It's recommended that you reinforce the fabric sling's attachment points . I'm on my second Hammock, the first was replaced under warranty for a seam at the front of the saddle separating but the new one (out of warranty) is doing the same thing but to a much lesser extent.

I've considered a Hammock and occasionally I have seen them for sale in the Classifieds. I just haven't pulled the trigger. I've read about some owners having had issues with the seams ripping and the sling pulling loose, so those two issues made me hesitate. My stock seat has served me well with an Air Hawk for long rides. I've read good things about sheep skin, so I might give one a try. I'm trying to avoid the seat merry-go-round.

Picked up my '19 Limited a week ago last Friday. Put the hammock seat and adjustable back rest on. It is very comfortable but the back rest does make a overly large gap that my "08 with a Sundowner and same back rest did not have. Dealer told me that is unfortunately normal. The hammock seat does make sit up a little higher but the more I ride it (just over a 1,000 mi so far) it seems to let me touch the ground a little better. One note on the back rest. As per recommendations of other riders on the H-D site customer reviews I took a sledge hammer to the back rest to increase the angle so there is actually some adjustment. Could one of you guys tell me where the "hammock sling attachment points" are and how did you reinforce them? Thanks!
