Zeppelin rocks!
No, I'm not talking about Led Zeppelin...although they do rock, I'm talking about the road zeppelin seat. This thing is so comfy I could take a nap.
After 40k miles, my stock seat was beat down to the point of discomfort. I bought the rider/passenger hammock, and it was good for me, but almost crippled my wife it hurt her back so bad. Returned it and tried the Sundowner, but I only lasted about 20 minutes before both hips were killing me. Tried the zeppelin, and now have a happy *** and a happy passenger. I know some people think it just looks too big, but comfort is king, and I'm feeling it.
I know seats are a personal preference thing, but I can't imagine anyone not finding this thing comfortable.

Does anyone have a leather one (52333-97E) for 07 for sale?? I hear they raise you up about an inch, I like to be lower, has anyone modified one to lower it? How hard is it to take off with wiring for pump? I'm looking at leather since it's a little cooler?

Hmm... I had a Road Zepplin seat and I thought it was going to be amazing. As it turns out, it was a dog. Black Dog. I hated it and got rid of it after 2 rides with it. I think most of my problem with it was that it seemed to move me forward and up.
