This is the site I used: http://www.surdyke.com/Index.asp
It appears they raised prices today to something less than 20% off. The dealer that is real close to yesterdays Surdyke prices is Kutter Harley Davidson.

The CVO Limited heated Hammock seat is what I ordered. The main differences between the CVO Hammock and the regular heated Hammock is a little more padding and real Leather on the seat surface. The seat sides are still vinyl. For me, it was worth the extra cost. At Kutter, the Leather CVO Hammock seat price is $986, shipped ( I paid $951.50 at Surdyke yesterday ). They do not collect taxes. The price for the vinyl Hammock is $720 at Kutter. For me, the real Leather seat is worth the extra $266 ( at Kutter ).
The cost for the real Leather CVO passenger tour pak passenger back rest that also matches the CVO seat is $353, also at Kutter ( I paid $341.00 at Surdyke ) . I paid roughly $50 less yesterday with Surdyke during their black Friday sale. Today, Saturday, it appears Kutter has the best prices......If you want the matching CVO Leather rider backrest, it's $181 at Kutter. You would then have the entire setup shown on a new CVO Limited.
The part number for the heated Leather CVO Hammock is: 52000083 (I ordered)
The part number for the heated vinyl Hammock is: 52000177
The part number for the CVO Leather matching passenger tour pak backrest is: 52300225 (I ordered)
The part number for the CVO Leather rider backrest is: 52300224
IMHO, The CVO Leather seat and tour pak backrest is only worth the extra cost if you plan on keeping your bike long term and if you are looking for top of the line Hammock comfort. Leather IMO is more comfortable than Vinyl. Using Kutter, it cost an extra $619 to go with both CVO Leather parts vs. going with the vinyl heated Hammock only. If having the seat cover material not matching perfectly with the passenger backrest, you could always just go with the CVO Leather seat for $266 over the vinyl seat.
Hope this helps, I did a ton of research, That includes going to my local dealership and placing there heated Hammock demo on my bike for a day. The added comfort of the Hammock sold me on making the switch. Unfortunately, my local dealer would not come close to the prices I was able to secure online.

Need some help from those that have already experienced the search for a Hammock seat......I've done a bunch of research and searching and am still not 100% confident on which P/N to order to get the seat I want.
I like the depth of the leather CVO seat you all have ordered (52000083)...I believe that the 52000176/52000177 are not as deep.
I demo'd the 52000177 and liked it---however, I would rather have a deeper seat like the 52000083.
What I would like to know is.....is there another heated hammock other than the 52000083 that is deep, non-leather(so I don't have to buy the matching passenger backrest)?
thanks a bunch

I have had my CVO heated Hammock for close to a year and still really like it. Rode up to Canada this summer, it passed the long distance test. Very comfortable.
Good luck

Can you advise how you like your CVO seat after you had it modified.
I am 5'6" and have an inseam of 30 inches so I am rather height challenged. I have purchased a 2016 CVO Limited and am looking to do the same type of thing with my seat.
Did you modify the height and padding in it?
