I had one on my 12 limited. First thing I added to the 14. Tried moving it from the 12 to the 14. It worked but the passenger portion is about 2" lower than the one for the 14. So I bought one made for the 14. Better shock absorption then the stock seat due to the Hammock suspension system in the seat. You can ride a lot longer before your but gets tired. I bought the heated one from Surdyke.com 20% off and free shipping. Kutter HD also gives 20% off. My wife turns the heat on when it's below about 70. I don't use it till it's below about 60. That heat on your but helps keep your whole body Warmer. You will also have to buy the accessory wiring harness to connect it to the bike if you get the heated one.

When I bought my bike I originally went in to take an Ultra Limited. I'd already worked the seat into the deal on that bike because I liked the way it felt. Great seat, you won't regret it.

I got mine installed 2 weeks ago and love it. it does sit a bit higher than the stock, and way more comfortable than the slightly cheaper sundowner. I would splurge on the heated version though. better a toasted bun than frozen meatballs. along with the heated grips riding season has been extended.

Thats what I would like to know as well. I feel the stock seat on my '14 Ultra pushes me forward and I sit to close to the tank for my liking. The dealership around here doesn't have any '14 demo seats yet so I can't try it before I buy.

The hammock seat is fantastic. I used it on my 2011 Limited and I was able to ride 1000 miles at a time with no issues. Much better than the stock seat. It did set me up a bit higher than the stock seat, and slightly farther back. Mine is not the heated version, just the regular one.
I traded my Limited in on a new 14 SGS and I kept the seat - It seams to fit just fine. I haven't ridden with it on my SGS yet though - its my long distant seat.
