Mine. I don't know what Mean City Cycles did to it, but man it rides good. Guess it must be the memory foam, but if that's all there is to it, why wouldn't all seat companies be putting memory foam in their seats? I just know I don't want my seat to ever wear out.

Wife and I both like the pillow look HD seat. Did a couple of 600 mile days last year and got off without any soreness, and the wife never complained.

It was the first thing I purchased for my 07 Ultra, at the wifes request. I love it when she asks me to buy things for the bike !!

This is cool, I was looking at the Zep it looks like the way to go. On the web it list part number 52333-97D. Does that include the rider backrest? I beleive the passengerpillion goes with as it is spelled out in the description but what about the riders? Thanks in advance

Likesome havesaid earlier, you HAVE to try the seat to really know if you are going to like it. And to be honest, I think you have to try it for at least 500 miles to figure out the hot spots, dead spots, and so forth. Too many folks sit on a seat for 10 mins and think, "Man...this is comfortable, I can live with this", then find out it's not what they expected it to be in the long run. Some riders have two seats, one nice looking one for short trips around town, and one comfy one for long tours. Me, I'm on my second Ultra with my second Saddleman Road Sofa. Some don't like the looks, but by mile 600 on a long day of riding it pays off. If you get get one, get it WITHOUT the gel. In the summer the gel retains heat and frys your cajones, and in the winter it becomes blue ice and freezes them.
