Ultimate hands down! You will love the seat and the customer service!

I had a comfort seat on my 2011 RT and added a Utopia backrest. It was pretty comfortable but there was no room for a passenger so I found the Ultimate Tall Boy, with the backrest and have no regrets at all - over 20K miles on it. It is so good that I put one on my Vulcan 900. \

Corbin makes a nice seat and Lamont swears by them. To me, they were a little hard but there is a lot of me for the seat to support ....

Not backrest compatible

Was all ready to purchase the Ultimate Seat when I found out from them my BRP backrest won't work with it. Having spent about $450 for that backrest from BRP I have to re-think what I will do. I'm already using an Airhawk but just not cutting it with the standard RT seat. Might have to try a gel pad. Hate to try and sell the BRP backrest as it works great and I already have a lot invested in it. Why don't these seat manufacturers make their seats compatible with other manufacturers backrests?

look for thread called "Three Seat Comparisons for a Tall Guy" it's about a person who tried all three, very informative.

I was just ready to pull the trigger on the Ultimate as well and decided to try a gel insert first. It cost under $100 shipped. If it doesn't work, I'll order the ultimate...looks like a great seat backed by a good company with lots of positive reviews.

Here's a pic of the gel I just put in...waiting on the cover to be embroidered

I just ordered that the other day from Motorcyle dave.

Which seat?

I have a good relationship with my dealer. I told him when my spyder is in the shop, if someone is interested, and whats to try the ultimate tall boy seat, by all means let them hop on and try it! If the bike is not there, then give me a call. I will ride down and let them try it on for size.
