There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I cannot afford one, but my friend bought one of each for his 2014 and said that was the best money he has ever spent. This is his second RT and he did not have one on his 2011. He said he would not hesitate again to spend the huge money now that he has ridden with one.

I have it on my 2014 RT-L. It was already equipped with it when I bought. I do like it but would look at Ultimate also if I had to buy it. Need to remove backrest if two up. Mine is heated and came with backrest. Grips and seat are same switch. Not sure that is the way to go, but no complaints yet. Mine was a demo that also included the vented windshield. That is not my favorite. I prefer the standard that was on my 2013.
Hope this helps.

If you have long legs you will probably like it. I really like mine and the BRP backrest. Seats are something you should sit on before you spend on.

Thanks! So riding 2 up the back rest has to be removed each time? Design flaw :-/

I put a BRP comfort seat on both the 2009 RS and on our 2011 RT. I have used no backrests with either.
For me, the seating gave the driver position about two more inches to the rear. I also found the comfort level to be improved compared to the OEM version of the seat on both models.
Cost at around $495 is less expensive than most other aftermarket seats.

You've gotten a wide variety of views, all of which I agree with as far as fit and value. My Spyder cane with the Comfort Seat on it and I find it exceedingly comfortable. The extra leg room for me is why I bought it. I don't need or want a backrest and my wife is very comfortable riding two up.

I have a comfort seat that I bought from someone on this site. I love the seating position (2" extra leg room), but the seat itself is not as comfortable as my 2014 RT stock seat (I hear it was much improved over previous models). I have a backrest that I installed, but since I never have a passenger, it is not a problem. My biggest question was, would I give up the more comfortable seating position with the Comfort Seat, for the more comfortable seat (stock 2014 RT seat)? My answer is to keep the comfort seat, and use my air hawk if I am going on a ride over 100 miles. Less than 100 miles, the comfort seat is fine.

You don't have to remove it, it all depends on the size of your passenger.
Very good point. There were a lot of people with Limited's that would try to sell their seats as "comfort" and they were just stock seats with the words Limited stitched on them.

I am riding with the OEM seat on my 2014 RTS also. I did add a Utopia backrest from the get go. I do like a backrest when driving. This is the first :spyder2: that I have not replaced the OEM seat on. When I need extra padding I add the AirHawk or Sheepskin/gel.

Love the comfort seat
I'm an old guy with a boney butt and my old boney butt really enjoys my comfort seat.

For all RT model years, the Comfort Seat gives you the 2 inches of extra leg room. But for 2014, in addition to adding the optional backrest, they changed the Comfort Seat to actually make it much more comfortable than it was in previous years. I had the opportunity to sit on the 2014 RT with a ComfortSeat, and I was impressed with.how much more comfortable it was than mine.
If you want, you can buy a 2014 style Comfort Seat , with or without the backrest, for earlier RT's. I didn't have that option because of my seat color, so I added the Utopia Backrest to my 2013 Comfort Seat.

Salesman at my dealership told me that while my '14 Spyder was being outfitted a '14 RT-Ltd buyer sat on his stock seat and my Comfort Seat and immediately upgraded.
