Default Softail Road Zeppelin

Has anyone tried the Road Zeppelin seats for the softails? I've done web searches, but can't find any reviews on the Road Zeppelins for the softails.

One more try. Has anyone tried one of these on a Softail?

Thought they were only for touring?

Edit:
Never mind, I just looked them up and they do have them for softies, nice looking seats.

Nope, they have one for the Softails now. I haven't seen one or heard any reports. Wanted to get a little feedback before considering buying one.

Can I assume this seat would fit on a 2012 Fatboy? I don't see it listed but I'm thinking it should fit. I'll be sure to ask the dealer before I buy.

Will update this thread along with mikale for those who still may be searching... I purchased one only last week for my Fat Boy Lo (photo) - they had to find the P/N in the 2015 book (52000148) and I was lucky they still had one in stock at my dealer; I was told no longer available in 2016 maybe some other dealers still have a few available may have to search around to find. Hope this information helps...

Thus far after only maybe 100 miles I certainly like better than stock seat!

I have ordered mine and hope this will overcome Marysia, (wife), slipping forward everytime I brake. Poor thing is only 45Kg and 5Ft 2", nothing of her really and on the old Road King had to check she was still with me. I'll let you know how I/we get on with it.


btw, The seat looks great on your bike Cyclenby. I keep looking at the new Fatboy S but I must be honest, I do like 'Chrome'. Apperently, (over here in the UK), the Softail Slim S will be out in October-November, so perhaps I might wait for an FLSTC-S.
