IVE FOUND NONE BETTER THAN THE ROAD ZEP.. FOR THE $$ (20% OFF THRU CHIC HD) SEEMS LIKE TO OTHER COMES CLOSE. IT WILL RAISE U UP SO BE AWARE.. AND ITLL TAKE A FEW MILES TO GET USED TO IT.. THEN ONCE U ARE ULL FIND THE STOCK SEAT WAY TOO LOW.. IVE HAD MINE TO 50000 PLUS MILES ITS STILL PERFECT WORKS GREAT.. NO ISSUES.. HAD IT ON MY 99 ULTRA AND NOW ITS ON MY 03 ULTRA.. I TELL EVERYONE TO BUY THIS SEAT.. MY 2 CENTS

 

Opinions are like ars holes, everybody has one.

Heres mine!

I have been riding on a zep for nine and a half years. First real money I spent on the bike after I purchased it. Our first long 4 day ride was on the stock seat and if we hadn't sent the money on this seat we probably would not have done any more touring.

My wife has a bad back and the cushining in this seat allows here to adjust it for comfort while traveling.

I first purchased the vinyl one and now I have a leather one.

 

Could you explain further?

Was it the backrest portion of the front seat that bothered her?

Was it the width of the backrest?

I am considering this seat when I purchase my touring bike,

Since I married, my wife has gained pounds with the accompanying big ****,

My little Dyna, even with the Wide Mustang Pillion, does not keep her comfortable very long,

Thanks,

 

BUY IT! It's the bset danged seat ever. Spend the xtra and get leather, it'll make a 400 mile day into a 600 mile day. The only two problems with mine 1. with the detachable tour pack off (on the 03) the removable passengar back rest wouldn't fit and 2. It wouldn't fit the 08 so I had to sell it!
Ride Safe

 

Thanks for everyone's input, it was very helpful and thanks gmanand NICK56for turning me onto Hales and Chic's HD, for OEM products as well as other aftermarket products, you can't beat these guys prices. Called my local stealer's and they refused to meet or beat their prices!!! They stated they're in business to make money not give things away... After all the money I spent with those local guys, it was really an eye opener[:@][:@][:@]!!! Once again thanks to all of you for the great info!!! "D"

 

I had a Mustang on the bike before the Road Zep. I prefer the RZ hands down.....

 

Hello,

Will the Road Zeppelin fit the 08 touring bikes, specifically the Road Glide?

The Harley catalog states 97 to 07 models, nothing about the bigger tanked 08's,

Thanks,

 

Looked on the Harley web site and as far as I can tell there's no Road Zeppelin available for the 2008 road glide as of yet... "D"

 

I just purchased a new oneto replace the one that was on my bike for years from a guy that purchased it to use on his 08. It would not fit and I got a new seat for a hell of a deal.
