Default RE: Zepplin seat problems?

Thanks for the fast responses. Ive searched the forums and could only find where the compressor running all the time was the only problem. The guy gave me the seat to test out, so Im hoping that maybe it will plug right in and work with no problems. For $100 I cant go wrong, even if it doesnt work I guess.

Default Road Zeppelin Seat Problems

Cyphilis, Did you ever find the problem with the Zeppelin Seat that you talked about in this thread??? I purchased one just recently on the forum that also doesn't pump up. It's plugged into the accessory plug under the seat and I do have power coming through the plug when I switch on the accessory switch. Mine is on a 2007 Ultra Classic just in case there's something different in wiring on the various years. Any other members that have had problems with the Road Zeppelin seat chime in also. I went by Ocean City, Md Harley dealer and explained to them and Service guy said that he didn't think that they had ever installed one, doesn't really know anything about them, and thinks they're only warranted 90 days....I've read 1 year for self install and 2 years for dealer installs somewhere on the forum. I'm gonna write Moco and see if they stand behind this product. Mine was on an 07 that was wrecked, as I'm told. The seat is in like new condition and should be only around a year old. Thanks

We've had ours on an 07 Ultra for about 10K miles (since Feb). Went back to the original seat with sheepskin cover for a day, immediately went back to the Zepplin. Haven't had any problems, did my own installation. I did pick up a sheepskin cover in Milwaukee during the 105th weekend. Almost feels sinful to sit on it. Yep, it does add to the seat height.

If anyone reads this and if you are the original maker of the seat and/or if you can make warranted repairs please contact me. The seat even w/o it's inards working is a real saddle and very comfortable. Your average woman will really enjoy it as well.
