Default "New Hammock"?

I've heard there is difference between the new Hammock seat and the previous model? True?

I had read on a thread that there are two styles, one has the hammock for the rider only and the newer model is rider and passenger both have the hammock and its a better built seat.

The newer one that cost $400 more have heat along with the hammock seat for the passenger. No heat is 499.95

HarleyŽ Hammock Rider and Passenger Touring Seat



Protect the backside of both rider and passenger from harsh road conditions. With its revolutionary suspension systems, the HarleyŽ Hammock Rider and Passenger Touring Seat offers increased isolation from sharp road impacts. The sling-like fabric suspension system that is integrated into the seat pan is manufactured from a unique blend of fibers that offer flexibility and durability. The fabric acts like a hammock, providing 2 inches of suspension above the seat pan, with an additional 2 inches of traditional foam on top. This internal suspension prevents "bottoming out" and provides a 30% improvement in comfort and endurance over the long haul by sheltering the rider from harsh road conditions. For the passenger, a multiple spring-board style suspension system and 2 inches of traditional foam provides 15% improvement in passenger comfort. The vinyl surface is easy to clean and maintain. Can be equipped with Rider Backrest (sold separately) on most models. Seat width 17.5"; passenger pillion width 15.0".

This product is available in multiple variations. Be sure to look for the one that fits the specific model and year of your motorcycle.

52000004

With Heat


Fits '09-later Touring and Trike models. Trike models require separate purchase of Paint Guard Kit P/N 52000013. Does not fit models equipped with Passenger Grab Rail P/N 97026-09.

MSRP US $899.95



52000003

Without Heat


Fits '09-later Touring and Trike models. Trike models require separate purchase of Paint Guard Kit P/N 52000013. Does not fit models equipped with Passenger Grab Rail P/N 97026-09.

Anybody care to speculate what the difference is between the 09 and 08 versions are? As far as fitment I mean.
