Default New Seat

I have a 2008 Road King with a Sundowner seat on it. Never really been totally satisfied with it.
I feel it pushs me on top of the fuel tank.
I have been looking at the Road Zepplin Air Adjustible.
Have you guys tried one? What do you think?
I am 6' 3" and 250#.

Yes I loved it but it raises you up about a inch

I always felt like I was sitting on top of a bike when I sat on a RK, a sensation that I did not care for. I felt like I was setting in a bike on my softail, and also feel as though I'm sitting in my SG now too, more of a natural feeling for me.

after buying 4 seats and doing the Mean City seat modification I finally bought the road Zepelin seat should of done it from the start. Best money spent, only problem I had to buy the raised rear passenger floor board mounts so my wife could reach the floor boards because it raised her up also. Love the seat expensive but worth it if you are looking for comfort. Zannotti's Harley 20% off.
