Default Hammock seat available in a few weeks FS..

I bought this seat last year, and it just doesnt do it for me....so I'm going with a Day Long from Russell.

Amazon is selling them for $435. I'd be willing to do $375, and we'll work out shipping.

Best to PM me.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, they sure do.

Flexible a bit, but I dont want to give it away. Its going to finance part of the new Russell seat.

Good evening TVTommy and Happy 4th,

Got a question from you on the Hammock seat. Do you know how it compares in seat height to the stock seat on a Ultra Classic?

I've had several people tell me it keeps you about the same height and some that say it makes you lower and some say it makes you higher. LOL

I just need a definite answer. :-) I'm short legged and can handle the stock seat height, but higher is not an option and I'm definitely in the market for a new seat.

Thanks for you time.

Well, in my world its not higher...the hammock seat is a bit flatter when compared to the stock seat.

A good dealer will let you put on one your bike and see how it feels. Its super easy to change...only one screw...thats it.

Yep had my seat off a bunch. Never thought about asking HD shop to let me try one on for fit. Will do that.

I got a couple of rips in my seat from wear and from ill-placed boots when getting on. I'm gonna send this seat to Mean City to get it rebuilt and fixed up, but I gotta have another seat in the meantime. I've had the Hammock seat mentioned to me that it would be a great choice as an upgrade seat. I would definitely like to see how it fits and sits on my bike.

I know you are getting rid of yours, what are your thoughts?

I purchased the SE leather heated seat from a member on the forum; the seat is about one inch lower than the stock ultra seat; it is wider and flatter. you can move on the seat; it's a lot better than the ultra seat. just did a 2,500 mile trip and never had a problem with the seat. the bike broke but the seat worked great.

hope this helps

Thanks 9miles. Is that the SE Hammock seat that you are talking about? Or just a SE Ultra seat? I appreciate your input.

Hey TVTommy,

What is the model number of your Hammock Seat? Is it #91583-99? If so, I just went to HD's web site and they say it will fit my '08 and it will move you down 1" from the stock seat. If that's true, I want the one you got. :-)

Let me know. Thanks.

yes mine is the Hammock seat and it does move you down a bit; it will fit the 08 I let one of my buddys check out my seat on his 08 road glide.
