i've been looking at a hammock seat too. nice to see positive reviews. right now i'm on the stock seat. if i'm going to be out more than a couple hours i throw on the circulator pad from HD. it helps get a little more airflow and a tiny bit more cushion. still if i'm on there for more than 4 or 5 hours my sit bones start aching and i'm trying to move around more.
anyone with a hammock seat they want to sell for a 2010 ultra, pm me.

So many opinions out there and always great to get feedback from other riders before purchasing , best case is to ride it before you buy it. https://www.saddlemen.com/index.php?...ormation_id=19 No better way to know what will and won't work for you. Saddlemen has been building seats for over 30 years and has worked tirelessly at perfecting our progressive density foam and Gel Core technology. I strongly suggest trying before buying- if there is not a seat center near you we have a risk free way to get you the Saddldmen upgrade. Just call 800 397 7709 and ask or message us here.

This is a good way to go, and the sheep skin helps a lot :
