RE: Road Zeppelin Seat
I think it's a great upgrade. The original seat would get smushed after an hour or so of my fat a$$ sitting on it, so after 100 miles I was sitting on the seat pan. The zep doesnt allow this to happen if it has any air in it.

RE: Road Zeppelin Seat
I paid $699 for my leather one and switched seats before leaving stealers place. The real good news is when I sell this 07 it will come with an unused seat.

RE: Road Zeppelin Seat
I had already purchased my Zepp from Ebay (about $600) before I got the bike. Took Momma on a ride for about 200 miles on stock. Switched seats, then took her again. WOW, no complaints, just praise. It is bigger, but I have decided to give it a fair test and leave it on for the next couple of months....hoping I can ride....to see if I can adjust to the larger size of the seat.

RE: Road Zeppelin Seat
I also bought a Zepplin seat on E Bay. But I had trouble with the bladders shifting in the seat. This would cause the air lines in the seat to kink so I couldn't let the air out of the bladders. I took the seat apart a number of times to try to glue the bladders in place but they always seemed to migrate to the left.
Finally, I took the air bladders out and replaced them with Air-Rides Gel seat pads. I had purchased them to make the stock seat more comfortable. And that did it. So I do like MY gel zepplin seat.

I love it on my 05 Ultra. I've had it on there for 2 years, no problems.
New LEATHER seat from HalesHD.com, $640. New VINYL, $540. I wonder why he is selling it? I see where someone had a problem with one. I had trouble with the stitching, it wasn't straight. They kept sending a new one... took about 4 tries. It will raise you up about 1-1/2 inches.

RE: Road Zeppelin Seat
So......the Road Zep. doesn't require any special instal? Just plug it into the accessory plug under the seat? How does this seat stack up to the corbin touring seat?

RE: Road Zeppelin Seat
I had a corbin on my 04 RK. It was great; but I am looking for longer rides onthe Ultra and the Ride Zepp fits the bill.
Easy 1 screw install with teh plug-in being simple. It gets power from the Acc. switch on the dash.
