RK with Ultra Seat
Just saw a RK on Cycle Trader that had an Ultra Seat mounted - complete with rider backrest. \\;\\\\\\;

I don't think in all my studies here I have heard of or seen of such an arrangement. \\;\\\\\\; It looks pretty damn sharp and I'm sure it's comfy IMHO... I can only imagine what a great arrangement it'd be after Mean City got done with a stock Ultra saddle!
Any other RKs out there with similar Ultra saddle set ups? \\;\\\\\\; Is it as comfortable as it looks? \\;\\\\\\; Any special mods required to make it fit? MCC - done any foam shaving for a similar setup?

RE: RK with Ultra Seat
An Ultra seat or any seat not made for a Road King will not fit. I've tried to do \\;it on mine. The chrome tank console gets in the way. Only a seat made specifically for a RK will fit.
An Ultra seat has a long nose, and extends about 4" onto the tank. The Ultra uses a shorter console, and the consoles won't interchange either...the tanks are different.
If someone has made one fit.....I would think it looks badly fitted.

Brian is correct, I have investigated the very same a couple of years ago and found that its not very do-able. \\;

I how ever am running the King Pillow seats for my Road King, with back rest and King Tour Pac back rest. \\; Seen below in my signature picture of my RK. \\;
