Default hammock seat
I have had mine for about 1000 miles. I really like it. im more flat footed and have very good control. I think you sit a little straighter. more comfortable than stock.

I really like mine. Better than the others I tried. It does sit you a little taller in the saddle. I will probably get a taller shield.

A friend that I ride with has the '10 SEUC and it has the hammock seat and he raves about this seat. I sat in it for a few minutes and it is NICE.

I've got about 1,000 miles on the Hammock seat and it's a very comfortable seat for me. I'll be keeping it.

I have the Hammock seat on my 09 Ultra for a few months now and really like it, did anyone else find it hard to install, I had some trouble getting the seat tab into the frame opening, really have to hit it hard to force it in?

You might have bent it up while trying to shove it into place. Bend the tab back down a wee bit and it will go in. Had to do this myself last weekend.

Assumption made here that it attaches like the seat does on my '05 model.
