My Grandfather used to say "There is an *** for every seat"

I have the Zep and love it. Had one on my 02 Ultra until the bike was totaled, then got one on my 07 Ultra. The reason for the saying above is everyone's bottom is different. I've heard great reviews about the Sundowner. I bought one and hated it. I can only stay in the stock seat for about 45 minutes. Even the Zep gets a little uncomfortable for me, but then I adjust the air and all is good for another hour.

Many I ride with have the stock seat and can ride all day with no issues. The only way to tell is to ride a couple hours.

The butt always knows

the Zep is great. it allows both the rider and passenger to adjust their own seat. really makes the long rides much more enjoyable.

Had the zepp on my 03 UC and loved it once I figured out how to use it. For me, the trick is to avoid pumping it up too much. A little air goes a long way to changing pressure points. I started out with no air and added a little air only after I started to feel a little discomfort. Usually let all air out when I pulled into a town. The seat is so big that it is fairly comfortable without air added. Does look big, but not bad on a dresser.

I love mine. Sometimes, I love it pumped way up...until I stop. It will get your attention then. Sometimes I love it with little to no air. I've had the Ultra seat, a Mustang (in my sig) and the Road Zep. I think I'll stick to the RZ....

I loved mine on my Ultra...I traded it and got a CVO Road King and it just didn't fit the style of the bike. My girlfriend still complains about not having that seat anymore.....

I purchased a Hammock seat from an individual on here and it is worth every penny. I would not had one issue paying full price for it. Significantly better than the stock.

Got my heated Hammock for 1/2 price off Ebay. Best seat I have ever had. Perfect for the 2k mile bike trips.
