Default Opinion on heated seat?

I'm running the gambit of options fro the new bike...

Anyone have the Sun Ray heated seat? Good/bad points?

Does it lift you up or lower you?

Don't have one, but sat on one at the dealer. I found it very uncomfortable and high. Granted, I was only on it for a short time, but to feel that bad in that short of a time isn't good. Just my $.02 though.

Hope it works better than HDs POS heated grips!

I had a BMW cycle with heated seats and it was great when needed.

About the only thing that doesn't get cold on me is what the seat helps with.
I'd like an air conditioned seat

Maybe though as a therapy thing. I know when my back hurts it's nice to sit in the truck with the heated seats.
Just as an idea... I remember a lot of people talking about heated seat inserts for cages. Pull back the uphostery and slip em in.
This would let you pick the seat of your choice.

Check it out... i found em for bikes: http://www.carbotex.com/motorbikeheat/index.html

If you leave ur new bike stock without adding a fuel management system it feels like your seat is heated all the time.

I sat on an '08 SE Ultra and the heated seat seemd to lift me another inch, which I sure don't need.

No on the heated seat- but I went with the full line of heated clothing. Took me about three years to complete sox, jacket, pants and gloves. I always say that this was the first thing I should have spent money on!! What a difference!!!!
