I've got several seats but my Ultimate is definitely the one that goes on for long rides. The backrest is a big part of the comfort equation. Neat thing about Ultimate is they're the only seat company that I know of that actually has a comfort guarantee. Not satisfied, you send it back for a refund. They're not cheap or beautiful but your a$$ will thank you.

I have heard of them and I have even visited their website but I don't know enough about them to comment either way. It does seem though that those who have already commented on them seems to think they are a very good seat. There is no better advertisment then fellow Harley riders who have personal experiance with products. It would seem to be a good set-up. I have stuck with my stock seat since I found an OEM Harley backrest made just for the Deluxe. For me, that is all the seat I need. I have not ventured far on this bike yet with this seat and backrest though so that could change in 1 long ride too!

I've seen them on other bikes,sat in them! They felt pretty good but I didn't care for the ULTIMATE X embossed in the seat! The newer seats may not have the big bold embossed lettering on the seat! I might check on buying one if I find the need for a new seat!

They said they could make the seat without their logo on it.

Holy hell that's a bigass honker of a seat...



It looks like 1 part vinyl, 10 parts cushion.. and boy is that thing ugly.. but i tell ya, there's few and far between that will allow you to use the Harley dual-bolt passenger seats..

Yea it may be ugly, but I am looking at a couple 600-1000 mile rides this summer and think this will help tremendously. I will have another seat for riding around town or on 100-200 mile trips.
