Default Harley's Hammock seat.

Who has tried the harley hammock seat and what did or do you think? I'm thinking of picking one up for some long distance rides.

I have one on my 2011 FLHTK and its pretty good. I am 6'4" and was looking for something to move me back. The Tallboy seat was really firm, while the Hammock seat provides a lot more cushion, IMO. It also sits you higher 1-2". Not sure it was worth the money though, jury is still out. Good luck.

This is my second year of riding with it and just came back from a 4700 mile trip and both me and the wife love it. We have put lots of miles on it and we both enjoy the comfort. I came from the air seat on my 07 and this is much more comfortable on the longer journeys....

Bobzilla,

Looks like yours is the CVO heated model which I have been thinking of ordering for my 2011 RGU. If you have tried the heat especially for the passenger does it work well? My wife is always cold! And; if yours is the CVO version does it have leather seating surfaces or is it just like the regular Hammock seat?

The wife and I both enjoy the heated seats and it is the leather
