As far as I'm concerned, it is the most comfortable seat the MoCo has ever made.  Even better than the Zeppelin air seat.

No complaints here expecially on a cooler ride!

If anyone has a stock 2011 seat, I'm in the market to change mine out. PM me if interested in selling one...

JD-

What is the part number of the seat you now have?

Thanks

I'll have to say that SO FAR, this seat is very comfortable.  We'll see after a few thousand miles though...the foam tends to collapse on some seats.

  I have the non heated new version Hammock on a 2011 limited ....It is the best seat I have ever owned.....I wish I would have bought the Heated version.............4500 miles on the seat....

Nearly 16k mile under heavy stress of the DesertHOG and no foam collaps to report to date. Love this seat.

That's good to hear   Maybe I can save that $1000 bucks for a Corbin this time.

I was wondering if I have the hammock seat on my 2011.5 SEUC. It is heated and what came with it from factory. But as compared to my 1997 Utra Classic I find this seat very very stiff and no matter which plate position I put the backrest into it seems to hit my back uncomfortably. My girl says that she has way less room on the back. With the old bike she put a water bottle in the pocket on back of my backrest and she had lots of room still, Now the backrest is smashed against her. I checked the tour pack and it is positioned all the way back. I know about the george anderson but my old ultra was stock and it didn't need an anderson. Has the seat stiffness and the amount allocated between the driver/passenger on the seat changed this much? Since my last bike was 14 years old I have no comparison.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you've got the same seat on your SEUC as on my SERGU.  I'm not sure about what you mean by "stiff"...if you mean firm, then yes, it is firmer than previous HD seats I've sat on, but for me, that is a good thing, as Corbin seats are VERY firm, but once broken in, there is nothing better for my butt.  This new seat seems to be comfortable thus far for me...However, I will agree that the distance between the backrest and the TP backrest seems to be a bit smaller compared to my '06 SEUC.  I've got my driver backrest in the second holes back from the front of the fender bracket, and the backrest in the top holes on the vertical part.   I'm sure you know that there is an angle adjustment for the backrest.  I'm not sure what makes there appear to be less room for the passenger...perhaps the lumbar adjustment in the passenger backrest?  I also checked to be sure they had put the TP in the proper mounting holes, but it is.  It's hard for me to judge, as the '06 SEUC had the smaller, leather TP, so this is my first with the King TP, and it is definitely about 1/3rd bigger overall.

I did have the driver's backrest as far forward as possible, but it seemed to push me a bit too far forward in the seat, and I'm short with short arms...moving it back a hole, and putting the backrest in the top holes, plus angling it forward just a bit, seems to give the passenger the same amount of room, but more room for her legs to be a bit closer together because the backrest is higher...hope that makes sense.

I'll soon know, as we are about to make a 300+ mile ride to Ribfest next week (her first real trip on the bike)

Thank you for the tip on forward and rear adjustability on the backrest bracket. I only knew about up and down and angle. I hope you have a great trip and sunny days!

[Midnight Rider]

Yea....pull the seat off and you'll see...it's easy.  Take three nuts/bolts off and move it wherever you want it.  Mine came in the second hole, moved it to the first, now moved it back again.  The bars on the SERGU seem to come back a little further.
