So far I am fairly happy with it. I have not been able to go on an all day ride/trip yet, but I have done a 200 mile day and was surprised at how I felt afterwards. Seems like I could go farther without the burn/pain in the ***. I did have to put a back rest on because there is no back support with it.

My Mustang set me back 1-2" and down about 1-2" vs stock, so it let me stretch my legs, but had to reach for the bars. The Hammock set me up at least an 1" and forward about as much vs the Mustang, but it is still fairly comfortable. The increase in height is noticeable, with an 8" windsheild I was looking just over the edge with the Mustang, but now I look over it by an 1" or more. I also seem to have to reach down at the handlebars.

My wife seems to like it better than the Mustang too. She hasn't complained about sliding forward at all, so maybe they changed it from the older version. With me sitting up higher her head is now lower or the same height as mine, so she has to look around me to see. She also mentioned that the backrest hits her lower than when we had the Mustang on it.

It does seems like we can ride farther, but until we do a 300 mile or 400 mile day ride or trip that will be the real test. The only thing I have issues with is the looks. It looks kind of big and fat, not very streamlined.

Oh yeah, the seat made all of the difference for me, I did 2000 miles in 4 days late March with the first and last days doing 620 mile each day. I was tired but I could not have done that with any other seat I have ever owned on any of my bikes. Some people need hard seats, some need soft seats, this is a soft seat. You just have to try it and see if it works for you.

Thanks,

Thanks,
