Default A great Idea if you are traveling solo.

You can also get it with a rain fly and bug screen. I've seen this in use on last years Hoka Hey and they are well made and look very comfy. He also has a model for Dyna's. As soon as he develops one for Softails I'm buying it.

Don't know how fat yours is but he said will would handle me and I was at 310 at that time.

I was just thinking the same thing. I could see my fatazz tipping the bike over, even with the stabilizer.

It is only good for 96 - 08 models. Anything in the works for 09 and later?

I'm not connected with him other than knowing him through the Hoka Hey. You might want to contact him through his website and see what he has going. I do know he is working on making one for just about every late model bike.

That is a neat idea. I feel like I've seen a different version of this online before. Maybe an older style of this one.

Yeah e-mailed him about a couple weeks ago, said he was looking for somebody to donate a Softail for him to use to put one together and offered the hammock in exchange.
To bad I ain't on the same Coast.
Don't know if he's still looking?
