I've noticed that I feel better on my stock RG Ultra seat than I did on previous seats I've had. Having said that, I needed a little more leg room and was afraid the Tallboy seat wouldn't be comfortable enough so I got a Hammock Seat. It slides be back a little, gives enough room for my passenger to be comfortable, and is really comfortable on long rides. I put 350 miles on it the day I got it and felt like I had been sitting in a lazy boy all day.

Just flip the seat over, it should be in a tag on the bottom.

Regardless, I am now on the watch for a Sundowner.

Does your seat part # end in 11? if it does, put me in line when you get the Sundowner. Thanks.

I have the 2011 SG seat on my 2009 SG. Much better, more cushion even a little spring feel to it. It also sets me about 1 inch forward compared to the old. The combo of more comfort and 1 inch closer has made a huge difference for me.

Like all have said it is only $179.00 before discount. %20 off at Chicago HD.

I highly recommend it...

6'1" 34" is. The small movement forward seems to make the handling at slow speed much easier. I also measured it against a 2009 Ultra Classic and still about 1" further back than that. The 2009 seemed to me to be too far back with little to no " butt sliding back" support upon rapid acceleration.

Default 2011 seat

Got a brand new 2010 SG, at the dealer they threw in a 2011 seat and 2011 dual exhaust in the deal. The 2011 seat is much better for me 5'7" and the lower back support is a huge plus over the stock 2010. just saying..
