Getting a new seat

[Bob Denman]

where did you find that ad ? --irv

does anyone know about increased passenger comfort or only for driver?

Irv,
There's a finite amount of space available.
This is the classic case of "Robbing Peter; to pay Paul". nojoke

thats what i had heard .need to find one to have us both sit on.
hate to lose the backrest. that also takes passenger room.

When I put the Ultimate Tallboy on I was concerned about passenger room. She did lose a little but say she is still plenty comfortable and thats with Tallboy plus backrest. I saw other lets say larger people on the back and they said they were ok too. So I would think unless the passenger is extremely large you should be fine - but always best to try if you can. On the Ultimate the passenger backrest is more cut/sculpted to make up for some of the lost room as well.

Sadly, passenger comfort is not included with any of the aftermarket seats. The passenger usually gets a 2nd Class or Economy class version of the seating. All the manufacturers are missing the boat there. Some are better than others, but it is a crap shoot--IMO.

In 2012, I finally bought Linda her very own :spyder2: to drive because after 10,000 passenger miles, we just could not endure it any more.

I Have to disagree with you on the statement about (passenger comfort is not included with any of the aftermarket seats) If it is built by Russel it is built for both Driver and Passenger for both height and weight. Sure one can buy cheaper seats but then there are so many that have bought them and sold them for half price because they did not fill the bill. There may be a few out there that didn't like the Day-Long but that is one seat that I have never seen for sale because it was not comfortable.

I have not heard any complaints from my wife about the comfort of the passenger on our Ultimate seat. Couldn't be too bad since she falls asleep back there.

Seating comfort is one of those subjective topics. Some seats work well for some people while not for others.

According to the Ultimate website, they shave a little out of the passenger backrest (front-to-back) so the passenger doesn't lose as much room.

I have used three seats to discover what puts you back the farthest.

I did a complete write-up of it here.

Never got around to selling the Corbin or the Ultimate. PM if interested.

It gives the passenger seating a slightly more "leaned-back" positioning.
I got one of them for my Missus, and she DOES notice the difference.

That's great!

I had the BRP comfort seat on mine for a short time, but it reduced the passanger seating and did not fit either one of us (we share driving) so I ended up selling it for 1/2 of what I paid for it. I think it's a good option for solo riders.

That depends on how big your passenger is.

f,

Thanks slick999, however BRP has a list of items they want to get rid of, (overstock) and only certain items are on that list. Unfortunately a 2014 seat in black is not one of them. We do have a Costco discount and will get 15% off the price so that will save us some money. Thanks for the post.
