As far as fore and aft .... It appears to be the same. The Hammock does appear to raise you alittle .... maybe an inch at best.

Sweet seat, I highly recommend it.

I just got the Hammock Heated seat. It is absolutely the most comfortable seat I have ever been on. I noticed it immediately. I too, being 6'2" was looking for a little more room and wanted to drop an inch or so. I can't really tell whether it is lower so, guess not, but I know I am sitting back a little further, maybe an inch or a little more. I'm not 'sliding' forward like I was with the stock either. You can get a hefty discount at Tricounty Harley in Fairfield, OH, but you have to call the parts manager - 513-874-4343

The Hammock seat doesn't position you back too much but it does sit the rider up about an inch or so over stock. For the taller rider this is a plus.

I just put one on mine (non heated) and I am about 1" back and definitely lower as well by about an inch

Just bought a used one of these seats.

To confirm, the plug refered to on page 1 is the plug connected to the switched ACC switch? I've already got driving lights hooked to that one, so if so, I guess I'll have to swap out one of the two to another switch. Thanks!

Heated Hammock Seat

the plug is a two way power plug with the 4 pins. Two of the pins are hot all the time when the bike is on, and the other two pins are connected to the switch. So, I don't know how you have it wired.

Copy thanks! Probably go with a separate switch; wouldn't want to try and run my driving lights & seat heater off the same switch!

One of my HOG chapter friends has decided to get a Road Zepplin for his bike and I am buying his Hammock. Getting it this Saturday and can't wait to go on a ride with it.
