Thumbs up
I got a Saddlemen King seat with Gel.. same as Explorer except mine
has a slightly more narrow rear seat..3 years old
Best seat I ever had...Been on 700 mile days and my butt and back felt fine (even after 2 back surgeries)
Won't buy another bike without buying a saddlemen...
Probably get an Explorer next time so my GF has more seat to sit on.

Thanks for the feedback. I had an Explorer on my Heritage and loved it. The main thing I was wondering was if it changed your position on the Ultra. I don't want to have a seat thats too wide or higher. I tried the Mustang and it was way to wide for me.

My brother has an Explorer on an '06 electra glide and the size
is very close to my King Seat.

Do you know if the Explorer moves you forward or backward or up or down? The one on my Heritage moved me down & forward.

Just phoned my brother... he said it moved him forward and up
just a little bit..I'm sure forward because of the "bucket"
seat and backrest.

Thanks, I appreciate the info. Looks like this seat is a 4-6 week wait.
