Default Sun Ray Heated?

I am looking to purchase a new seat for my Ultra.

Based on recommendations from many, I had planned on purchasing a Sundowner. However, despite living in Upstate NY, I ride year round (I rode every month over the winter). So, I have been looking at the Sun Ray Heated Seat.

Does anyone here own one? The stock seat is pathetic over 100 miles, and I am looking for a 500 mile/day seat (planning a cross country trip this summer). Is the Sun Ray as good as the Sundowner?

Thanks in advance...

-BM

Looks very similar to the Sundowner but is wider, thicker and......expensive. Heat would be cool!

It sure is more expensive, but if it makes it more comfortable to extend the riding season, then it's a bargain.

My real question is whether or not it is as comfortable as the Sundowner. If I knew that, I'd buy it tomorrow without hesitation.

My goal is to never put the bike away (if I gotta' make the bike payments in the winter, I damn sure want to be riding it).

Thanks in advance for any assistance from anyone who has this seat. [sm=thanx.gif]

I am certainly going to be looking at Corbin.

Anyone else have any experience with the Sun Ray Heated from HD?

Thanks again.

The heated seat is standard on the 2006 CVO Ultra.

Try the CVO website. They may have the answer to your question.

Bibleman,
I too am interested in the heated seat. Wait, The WIFE is interested in the heated seat. Like that old TV show used to say 'Be patient young Grasshopper" reviews and comments will come for this seat eventually. I know I am goint to wait until someone is braver than I am when it comes to spending big dollars.

A good example is the Harley heated grips. I was chomping at the bit on this one, waited and found out they have a very high failure rate. I installed Hotgrips.

Joe
