Default Zepplin seat
I know, I know...but I have to say after a 6800 km trip to South Dakota and back. Most of it screaming because my butt was on fire! My sweet heart..ah my wife and not my 2009 UC got me a Zepplin seat and I must say it is like sitting on a bunch of soft baby bunnies filled with air. Well worth the coin! oh and it was my 50th so she had an excuse to buy it. Now I just have to find an excuse for the pipes!

Can you tell me if it raises you up any? I am thinking about one and would like to sit a couple of inches higher than my stock 2008 ultra seat. I have long legs and need to sit up a bit more to get comfortable.

Thanks!

Yes it will raise you up! I am 6 feet 2 inches and at full I would say a few inches. I also placed 2 inch extenders on the floor boards. I would just like to add that no Bunnies were hurt in the writting of this post!

had one loved it!! love the bunnies metaphor! as for the pipes, its a safety issue, that heavy bike is a little low on power, so when you go to pass a truck, sometimes it takes too long and it could be an accident waiting to happen, if you had the extra hp that pipes give you, you would be much safer!! thats my story and I'm sticking to it!!!
