Yep, had one on my bike before I bought the Tri Glide. It is now on the Tri Glide. I have had a few, but this one is a keeper.

I had one for the first few thousand miles, then went with an Ultimate.

53051-09 is a "Riders" Hammock seat
Sling-like fabric suspension system acts like a hammock to reduce impacts, and the additional 2 inches of traditional foam on top provides additional support. The passenger get dual density foam

52000003 is a "Riders & Passenger" Hammock seat. The rider gets:
Sling-like fabric suspension system acts like a hammock to reduce impacts, and the additional 2 inches of traditional foam on top provides additional support
For the passenger, a multiple spring-board style suspension system and 2 inches of traditional foam provides 15% improvement in passenger comfort

I want to demo one this spring I can't stand the stock seat on the 14 Limited but my wife loves it I had a heated Corbin on my last bike I loved it she hated it I just can't win

You could try Mean city cycles have them rework your spot and leave hers alone. Be a lot cheaper than another seat that you like but she don't.

I had a Hammock on my 12 Ultra and loved it. When I bought the 14 Limited I had an adjustable backrest put on. Now I find that a Hammock will not fit a bike with an adjustable backrest. I may have to go back to a standard backrest with a Hammock seat. But before I do, can anyone with a Hammock on a 14 Limited tell me if it changes your seating position. I've been told that it sits you back further from the bars. True?

I was thinking that also but I want heat as well and that drives the price up so I figured I would test one first and if I don't like it I will go to mean city
