Followup on Ultimate Seat

I sent my Ultimate Seat back last Wednesday because it put me 2' closer although they claim it's in the same position.

Yesterday, Saturday, I received notice of the credit being issued to my credit card. THIS IS A REPUTABLE & OUTSTANDING COMPANY that I would do business with anytime.

I ordered the standard seat that they said is the same position as the stock seat. I took the seat off and before I returned it, I put the seat side by side using the locking peg as my point of reference and sure enough, the Ultimate seat puts you 2" closer. When I called them, they assured me they sent the correct seat so it's on its way back. The exercise cost my over $120 in freight but I can't use the seat they sent.
Nice looking ride!

Very odd! I ordered the Ultimate seat and I did not want to be any closer and I am NOT. I also ordered the seat that was supposed to put you in the same position. If anything I am slightly farther back and definitely more upright. I would get a sore butt on the stock Limited seat after 5 to 6 hours. Now with the ultimate seat I am good 8 to 12 hours without a problem. WE love this seat as my wife also finds the passenger seat far more comfortable than the stock.

There's gotta be something wrong with that seat linedrawer, my RT seat just carried the Missus & me thru 5 DAYS of fairly heavy rain & it's still not soggy!! We spent about 8 hours a day in the saddle, & I did put a 1/2 cover on the bike overnight when it was parked outside. But the seat's fine, we were comfortable (gotta get off every couple of hours or there-abouts to refuel & have a coffee, but apart from that....) Sure, the seat got a little rain on it while we were riding & more when it was sitting out in the rain, but nothing soaked in & it was always fine to just get on & ride on! :thumbup:

I've ridden on a lot of far worse m/cycle seats & some very uncomfortable m/cycle seats; I learnt thru painful experience to NEVER put a sheepskin cover on a m/bike seat & ride in the rain again; and I really think that BRP did a pretty good job of making a reasonable seat for most of their potential riders...

I replaced my seat with an ultimate seat and I am glad I did. The seat did place me a little closer. I did not notice it at the handlebars, bur, with the brake, but, I've gotten used to it. It was also hard at first, but, has softened. I ordered the backrest and it easily adjusts. If you get an ultimate seat, it needs to be broken in so give it a few rides before you decide.
