Default Ultimate seat?

I'm looking for a touring seat and may pull the pin on one of these. Anyone have any experience using these Ultimate seats?

My neighbor has the first Ultra Classic seat they made. It is quite comfy.

They just came out with seats for 08 and up; I have one on my Street Glide. I did 468 miles yesterday and while I was happy to get off I had no problem getting back on. It’s the only seat my wife likes and that includes a Sundowner (make me an offer, it was on the bike for less than 2,000 miles).

For 08 they went with a two piece seat for the touring models, I like the way it looks as a solo seat.

The stock seat on my 05 FLHT, the comfort stitch is real comfy. I've got a couple sundowners too, which are nice, but that stock seat rocks. Ugly SOB, but comfy.

I have some experience with Ultimate Seats. I had a VTX with a stock seat that really sucked,I mean 45min in the stock and I was hurting bad. I have had surgery on my low back three times so I need a good seat. I bought the top of the line seat for my VTX and it was great. When I sold the bike I took the seat off and sold it for exactly what I paid for it. These are good seats and good people to deal with(For Kanucks)LOL You won't regret doing business with them.Look at my Bike Pics and check out the seat on the Blue VTX.

Great seat had one on my VTX I called them first to order one for my 09 SG and I was told that it might raise my seat height just a little which was something I was trying to not do so I went with the reach seat instead

Had'em on my Valkyrie....front and back, very comfortable
and top notch craftsmanship.
Would have considered one for my R/G if MeanCity Cycle hadn't hit
the nail on the head, and carved the Ultra seat perfect for my ****
and my wife's butt.

Des at Ultimate is good people and stands behind his work.

Top notch for comfort and customer service. I just didn't like the look of it, but if you can get past that, it's probably the best choice out there, IMO. You'll get alot of responses from former VTX and Valkrye owners since those were the first bikes he made seats for. Truly the most comfortable seat I ever had.
