I have the RZ and I will never have another UC with out that seat. By far the very best seat I have ever owned.

Zep Seat

OK, I am the odd man out...put a RZ on my '01 Ultra and it pushed me too far forward - that same tank/crotch-bound feeling the stock seat gives. I am 6'2", 34" inseam. Riding a Cyclopedic - awesome seat! And I agree - the Zep is a HUGE seat!

6'2" 350lb. Me and my fat azz loves the zep. It changes my height by as much as 2 inches I believe. Can ride for ever with a little air and allows me to adjust to what I want.

I have the new style Corbin on my 08 UCSE3 and love it. I had the RZ but too tall for me and way too soft on long trips, even with full pressure.

My .02 worth

I love my RZ. I bouught it used off of Ebay for 1/2 price and could not tell it from a new one. I am 6' and have a 32 inch inseam. I usually ride it without any air and it is very comfy. It takes a little getting used to the wide front, but that is a small price to pay for the comfort. I have a sheepskin on it and w/o air it raises me about 1 inch and maybe forward 3/4 inch.

Never had a Corbin seat and i never had oem seat rip on me.
I have used the zepplin but like other said it puts you up real high.
the last three bikes well over 100k miles i have kept the oem seat and i find riding more makes your butt tougher no matter what seat you get
you need to use that seat enough oem is just fine

I have the RZ and love it, but it definitely raised me up. I had to get new boots with a bigger heel to be flat footed again. I've never sat on a more comfortable motorcycle seat and the adjustability even on the fly is nice.

Thanks all! Couple of questions: Have tried a friends air hawk, besides the instant adjust ability, how different will the zeppelin be? Again compared to the airhawk would it be higher than that. The air hawk is an add on air bladder system you put on top of the seat it brought me up on the seat, but if I remember correctly I could still flat foot, at least it was not bad enough for me to remember. I am a 30" inseam but have not had problems with reaching the ground ever....?
