    Cool Ultimate Seat

    Decision time, has anyone owned or riden on a Ultimate Seat? Can anyone testifiy which seat base material they liked best and why, ostrich Inlay or Croc Inlay. Is there a difference in comfort between materials? I have no doubt either materials hold up well as far as quality. Just interested in others opinion.

    I had an Ultimate on both my RT's and liked them a lot and I didn't have any special inlays. I would think the increase in comfort on your butt (from the inlays) comes from having a thinner wallet. I would just carry your wallet in a front pocket.

    I have the tall boy without the inlay material or fuel door. Was a little unsure at first (first ride was the start of a 1000 mi trip), but now you would have to steal it from me. It is perfect for around town rides or 400 mi days, after about 95 miles I get of for a couple of minutes and it is like starting fresh. My wife's only complaint is the seat sits her a little higher and even with the running boards up she, at 5'3", doesn't have the most secure footing.

    So you say, "you would have to steal it from me." what was your address again? I can only tolerate my RTL for about an hour or a little more. Thinking of going to F3 for that reason, I need a solution, your seat may help.

    Also so what time do you normally go to bed so I don't disturb you, thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

    I'm interested in this as well. I'm a big guy, 300 lbs, and the wife is not tiny. We always are 2 up, so the midrider position is it for me.

    Anyone else of similar size want to "weigh in" on the comfort?

    Default ultimate seat

    I have the ultimate seat with the crock. inlay. It's not only beautiful but I went from a one hour
    max in the saddle to three or four, It's the best thing I have installed on the spyder yet.

    I also had the ultimate on a VTX 1800 and it was great. I just got a RT Ltd 2016 and have ordered the Ultimate tall boy. I'm hoping to be just as happy with this seat.

    I have the Ultimate tall boy with Ostrich inlays. Love the seat. I wouldn't think one inlay would be better than the other. Just personal preference.
