    I know the comfort seat ( BRP's ) puts the driver about 2 1/2in further back from Glove box ….. I don't think the Tall boy is from BRP, it's just someone else's version of the comfort seat …….. I'm sure someone will add clarity …… Utopia has pics with measurements on their website !! … Mike

    Comfort seat may not sit as high as the ultimate seat but both sit you back about 1-1/2 to 2 inches back from stock.

    As owner of two current and one previous BRP Comfort Seat...I can give a good endorsement for them. They sit you back about 2 1/2 inches. 2014's seem to have a little more padding and lumbar protection. I had one on 2009 RS, 2011 RT, and now on the 2014 RTS.

    IMO...they have the OEM mushmaster seats beat. At current price of around $600...they are a bargain.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Absolutely, because you aren't moving the passenger back 1 1/2 - 2 inches ….. Mike

    According to the Ultimate website, their passenger backrests are made a bit thinner to compensate.

    I have the comfort seat(heated) and the wife has no problems losing a little. Just brings us a little closer, she used too wrap her legs around me all the time when we were younger.
