That looks way too sterile. I prefer greasy old torn leather seats myself.

Only kidding--looks too nice to ride on.

Nice! I went with saddle brown instead of the white. I was afraid I would spend too much time keeping the white clean.

Great looking seat!:thumbup:

Hi,
How does the passenger do for room, comfort? How much better do you find comfort level over Oem seat ? Don't you just love all the questions ? Thanks for your time.

Beautiful! I installed my new Hartco seat today. No high fashion, but custom look and great fit!:doorag:http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=108722&stc=1

Your Ultimate set up looks gorgeous. When I added the Ultimate seat to my Spyder I also went with the white Ostrich trim but used a little less white than you did. I was worried about keeping it clean.

One item that helps the Ultimate seat is a replacement strut. The factory strut doesn't have the strength to hold up the heavier Ultimate seat and even though I wasn't raising it that much due to the gas through the seat feature, it ultimately bent.

I was about to replace it with the $69 Can Am part when I saw this post last month on SL....

On my 2014, & the seat wouldn't stay up. BRP/CheapCycleparts want $60 for the replacement. I found that the one in there was a SUSPA which is cheap and was a replcement. At O'Reily's I found a Stabilus SG359011, 40# for $27. Fit perfect and should last forever. 2 minute job.

I bought the strut from O'Reilly's and it has a 40# capacity versus the factory strut that I think it 20#.

Good addition with the seat.

I also purchased the seat and driver backrest. however I did not get passenger rest ,my wife feels she needs to be a little forward of the factory to be comfortable and ultimate says they cut the rest back a little deeper.what is your opinion now that its installed. thanks

[Purple Guy]

Thanks i will get one.

Me too! Always using the handlebars to keep the seat up while gassing up.

Your seat looks great Jim! :clap:
I'm sure you'll find like I did, the comfort of your Ultimate seat is worth every penny! :thumbup:

I plan on getting an Ultimate Seat (Tall Boy) as well. I found the strut on Amazon for $14.87. http://www.amazon.com/Sachs-SG359011-Lift-Support/dp/B001BFPPO4
