What height and weight are you guys who love this seat. I'm 6'2" and 270 and want something that is comfortable but doesn't raise me up higher in the saddle. I'm long waisted and the Sundowner is great for height on my 09 Road Glide and I'm afraid the Hammock will set me up too high.

A Hammock seat would be nice but it only comes in two-up. I wish it would come in a solo as well.

azteck, you have my exact dimensions and at the moment i have a hammock. i will raise you about 1" higher than stock height, but that is it. i like to ride tall in the saddle and with all the comments around the forum i was convinced to get one because i was expecting MORE height than that! dont get me wrong, it is an extremely comfortable seat on the rear end, probably the best ive tried in that regard. but as far as height, its about an inch taller, no more.

6'5" and 300+lbs...... I was told that the hammock would raise me up more than it did..... ended up keeping it because it was so comfortable. For me to be able to sit on anything that doesn't bottom out after 12+ hours is a miracle.

Thanks for the info. I may have to keep my eye out for one to pop up for sale and give it a try.

I'm 5'8" 200 lbs. I love this seat. It is on my limited. I used to have to tip toe my bike and now I can flat foot. It sets me a little lower than the stock.

I went to my dealer Friday and put the Hammock seat on 2010 Ultra. It felt real good but when we put the adjustable backrest on the backrest had the front part of the split in the seat all wadded up. Anyone else saw this problem. I saw another 2010 Ultra with the Hammock and the non adjustable backrest and the seat split looked fine.
