It was just too damn big for me.
Assuming verticle challenge is not a problem, how does it feel while riding? Was it 21" of fluffy comfort or are my expectations to high?

It is big! I barely got it on my bike with the passenger grab rail on it.

Felt good to sit on though. I didn't ride it and it was deflated. My bike wouldn't keep running long enough to inflate it.

Yea it's a big seat, looks like a seat with a motorcycle under it. If you know what I mean!

Have had one on my ultra for 4 years and yes it's big, but for me it makes for a great ride. On the long days being able to make adjustments at 3 different points makes the difference. Just my .02

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!

I tried one of the RZ with the leather cover and it was like sitting on a feather
pillow...very soft and comfortable...and very large..I only weigh 155 and
you could fit 2 of me on it, side by side....

And this was the lead in front of the battery stuffed under the tank?
Because if it was the other lead with the same plug it very well could kill the bike since that is the data connector for the ECM.

Nope. This lead is under the left side cover alongside the data connector. I know it's not the data connector because I've already used that one to download a TTS map. The ACC plug used to be routed up under the seat/tank but now it's located under the side cover.

Thanks anyway.

Didn't have it long enough to try it. Knew after I put it on the bike and sat on it, that I wasn't going to like it.
