I bought mine and then left on a 5 day run. One of the best buys i've made!! With the stock flhx seat my *** would get sore if putting on lots of miles in a day. With the hammock i've been able to put some good miles on day after day without a crazy sore butt!!

I tried one and brought it back same day. I am 5'8" and it set me back to far. Arms were straight out and legs were straight out to hiway pegs. Also made my driver backrest uncomfortable. It was comfy to sit on just made me feel short.

tried one with the Demo program today. Put 250 miles on it and it was OK. Took it back and put my MCC modified Ultra seat back on.

Update...I bought the hammock. Came in on friday and went for a 278 mile ride on saturday then 195 on sunday. It's good. I glad went with it. Previously on stock I'd start squirming and lower back ache in first 45 minutes. No back pain at all, wife is happy too. I know everyone's **** is different and there are good brands out there. I can say it worked well for me.

I purchased a hammock seat and put 250 miles on it and hated the way it felt. Push me back a little, lower back hurt after about 50 miles. Return the seat to dealer and put the original one back on. Wife didn't like it either. I adjusted pegs, handle bars etc and nothing really worked with that seat.
