Looking forward to a review on your new seat. Especially long seat time and passenger if you can. I'm in the market to upgrade the stock seat on '16 Limited, which isn't near the stock seat I had on my last '13 Ultra Classic. I have the HD driver backrest as well, which interests me. The seat looks good on your ride!

Ok, well feed back will be great but I pulled the trigger on the LS heated and matching rear cover for the tourpak...I am hopeful on a good choice after many reviews...Thanks for your input...!

Good deal. I think I'm gonna have to pop for the Tourpak cover as well. If it performs as well as it looks this is gonna be a good buy.

Let us know how you like it HotVrod. I ordered the seat only for now to try. Not sure about the perforations and moisture getting to the foam in'nerds.
I understand it comes with a rain cover, which throws flags to me that rain may can get to the inside and soak ya hiney until it dries out.

Well it came the other day...I bought the HD Accessory harness to hook it up to the stock plug since I had some lights rigged to it any way, made a splitter for them. Hasn't stop raining but for today so no riding yet. Good looking seat and quality stitching.
I hear ya about the foam in'nerds and I would suspect the same thing...but I guess that is the price ya pay for the diamond stitch look. Been reading up on statements that the gel will be hot in the summer...I hope not, most of the time I am pretty diligent with the white towel when we stop anyhow.
It does feel like I am forward a little more and slightly higher, but remember I am coming of a Corbin low profile saddle..virtually no padding..
Wifey sat on it and liked it so we will see this weekend.

Thanks for that review. Mine should be here when I get home from work today, and may take a short ride this evening. I saw that thread on the gel, as well but I'm hoping it's a seat that the wife and I like, and keep.
Best of luck to you guys as well.

How did you order it as a "trial"?
