Default Road Zeppelin Seat

Does anyone have any experience with the Road Zeppelin air-adjustable seat? How comfortable is it? How does the riding position compare to the stock 2010 Road Glide Seat???

I had a zep on my '07 Ultra and I really liked it....BIG TIME.
If I had the spare change I would buy one right now.
I don't think you can compare the zep to any stock seat.
Best find someone in your area that has one and do a sit test.

One of the dealerships has one on special. THey said I could come by and try it on my bike. I had a Mustang on my Fat Bob (which I just traded for the Road Glide), and really liked that, so was thinking about getting another Mustang, but this one looked pretty comfortable.

Seems like there was a Road Zeppelin air-adjustable seat in the classified several days ago.

I don't have a lot of experience but my "butt" does and it loves it. The wife and I do a lot of long distance trips and its the best so far....worth the bucks...I got one discounted at 20% off retail....It works!

I love it tried a mustang, sundowner, sent mine to Mean city and they all were a waste of money should of bought it from the start. I use it all the time around town I am 6'1" and can touch the grond with no problem on a 2008 FLHTC. Remember the 2008-2010 have a different seat then the earlier bikes so they will be totally different.

Been sitting on one for about 500 miles on my trike.Bought it slightly used as the previous owner felt the horn or front of the saddle was too wide.Me having a trike and never putting foot down that was not an issue for me.I really like the seat and it took that butt pain right away,wife also likes it.Buttons are hard to reach with gloves,and new it's a lot of money but I think it is well worth it.

I'll have to stop at the dealer tomorrow and test it on the bike ... the parts manager said the bike already has a receptacle to plug the seat in under the current seat, was there any additional wiring needed?
