Thanks for the pics guys I would love try one after the other and compare.

Well Im on the Low seat today
I added my stock backrest and took the wife fro a ride last eve.
She wasnt happy, The driver backrest hits her thighs, Seems that the rear cushion on the low seat is taller then the CVO Hammock
So I need to find a solution.I tried my buddys 2011 driver backrest. it has a longer mount, but it was tooo high on my back
Good note I like the way the bike handles with the LOW seat, better center of gravity, im at least an inch lower in this seat maybe more.
I hope I find a solution to the driver backrest issue.

Yea  I have kicked that around, But she is only 5'2, So that could create issues with the crash bars when she moves back
This seat changing is getting complicated

Well Ill have a collection Im sure when Im done
I have a 2012 Ultra seat with the MCC mods Super narrow and memory foam driver and passenger coming. It sits 2 inches lower then stock seat. Im hoping to trade my stock seat and some cash.
I also may be trying the Mustang touring seat.
Im trying to keep costs down by buying used seats, hoping I can resell them as I go
Hope its all worth it in the end. I hate to spend over $500 on a new Hammock seat.
But that may be an option also.
hey Xmas is just around the corner   ;D

this is the exact route i took, had 6 seats cost over $500 each.  I'm down to 3 seats.

 1) stock 12 hammock (duel heated)
 2) custom 10 hammock (duel heated)
 3) stock hammock (no heat)

 I would like to buy a duel heated , two up Mustang.

 like you said, maybe for xmas  :huepfenlol2:
