Anyone had one for 5000+ miles? How is it holding up? Seriously considering one but damn they are pricey! Worth it???

I only got 1200 miles on mine, but I am confused with "pricey", $399 & free shipping?

Most comfortable seat i have ever had. However mine is under a year old and the stitching is ripping out. I seen a thead in the cvo area I guess this is common with this seat.

This seat is extremely comfortable and I think it is about 1" lower than stock.I have about 3000 kms on mine and no problems so far.I think it was about $450.00.

I have only been 300 miles at once, no issues for either of us. I had $1100 in the Valkyrie Ultimate seat and was happier. LSHD1.com, 399.96 and $500. purchase gets free shipping, $250 specials sometimes

I've had mine for about 3500 miles now, and i love everything about it. Seems to sit me about stock height. Only issue i'm having with mine so far is there is a very small tear at the "nose" of the seat. You can see that when sitting in the seat it pulls on that area of the fabric. Otherwise, the most comfortable seat i've had... i've had custom seats, the road zeppelin, so on...

About 5000 mi on mine. Sits me a bit lower and back than stock. Like it so far and no issues with tears or seams yet. Mine is the new version un-heated. Got it for list less 10% with a HOG Chapter discount. Only issue I've had is the HD adjustable backrest support was too far forward to fit the slot. I ended up modifying the backrest support moving it back about an inch with new mounting holes and front bracket.
