I am looking at buying the Zeplinyn air seat that is off 12 ultra,
to be used on my 12 tri-glide.
Does anyone have any input on the air seat, good or bad!
Thanks in advance!.........tenn.

 

I have never owned one but I at on one and it was like a lazyboy chair...I would almost be afraid I would fall asleep driving down the road...I have heard that they can have issues with the air systems failing and not being able to get parts for them. It seems to me about a year or maybe 2 ago there was a long thread about them on this forum...maybe a search is in order...

 

I loved my zep because of the adjustability but the wife did not like how wide it was for her. With her shorter legs she had trouble on longer rides

 

I put one on my SG after I installed a tourpack. I had tried a Saddleman Road Sofa and the deep bucket Sundowner.

I like the Road Zepplin much better than anything I have ever sat on. My wife used to insist on stopping every 50 miles. She can easily go 100 miles between stops now.

It hasn't made me stay in the saddle any more miles a day when I go on solo trips, but I feel much better after an 800 mile day when riding with the Zepplin.

Most dealers have demo models, so try before you buy! I tried and hated it. Couldn't get my stock seat back on fast enough.

 

I use one on my 09 EG UC. I wouldn't leave home without. My next bike will have one as well. Doesn't much matter on a Tri-glide but thought I'm mention it raises you up 1/2 to 1".

 

I had one, very comfortable, wife loved it. raised me up quite a bit. it was nice because you could change the pressure points to relieve the numbness in the ***. its wide, its high, but it does let you ride quite a ways longer. (at least me) the biggest downside was the raised height. it would change the viewing position over the windshield, which was set for a much lower seat most of the time. (I only used it for long trips)
