Hey Des,

I've just installed the Lowrider ultimate 3 pc seats set on my VTX 1300C in
Cairo, Egypt and believe it or not your work is a piece of art, as if I'm
sitting in my cozy comfy living room! No more lower back pains ....
Thanks a million.

Hey Des, I was the guy that picked up the display VTX 1300C Midrider & backrest from you guys at the bike show this past weekend. I couldn't be happier with the product and was very impressed with the deal that you guys gave me. I've completed the install and figured that I would provide you guys some pics as well as some photo's that I took back in the summer when I took it out for a test ride. Please feel free to add these to your VTX gallery and thanks again.

Hi Des:

It's ok if you choose to post this review. I ride a 2007 Honda VTX "R".
First of all, I'd like to thank you and Amanda for your help during and after my purchase of a 4 Piece Ultimate Lowrider.
I've now put just over 5,000 miles on the bike with the new seat. Many days were over 500 miles per day while on a trip.

My reason for getting a new seat is that my wife was very uncomfortable on the aftermarket seat that was on our VTX when we bought it.
I thought I was as comfortable as a person could be on the seat that we had until Ultimate entered our life.
I can definitely say that after owning around 10 motorcycles which included Gold wings and Ultra Glides, the Ultimate is the most comfortable seat I've every had.
My wife is also much more comfortable on the Ultimate seat which has made our riding much more enjoyable, allowing us to ride several days in a row with comfort.
Again, thanks for a great product.

sincerely
Greg

To Whom it my concern,


My name is Casey Gillespie I just received my VTX 1300 R seats this past Thursday and we made a trip from Wiggins,Ms to Jacksonville,Fl this past weekend and this is by far the best seat my wife and myself have ever traveled on we only stopped for gas. Thank you so much for your product it is the best. Customer service was awesome and the quality is unbelievable.


Thank you so much,


Casey Gillespie

Sir
I received my new low rider for my 1300R VTX I love it. It rides great and looks even better on my bike. I have already recommended you to my friends.
Thanks

Hi Des,
I wanted to pass along my feedback concerning your amazing Seat and amazing Customer Service.


Customer Service
It was great working with you and your company. First, via the emails I had with you, they were informative and it was great having my questions answered....quickly mind you even during the busy bike events happening around you last week! You took the time to look at the photos I sent along to help address my saddlemen saddlebag fit issues. (It fit great btw!) Amanda was also great in helping me fill my order over the phone. She went above and beyond for me when I placed my order. I had to have the seat soon and she checked to make sure it was in stock and that someone in the Florida office got it shipped out the same day I called to ensure my overnight delivery came before the weekend!! Sure enough, that all happened! Thanks to you both!


2005 VTX1800 C Seat
WOW.....really....I could just say that! I love the seat position compared to my last after market seat. It helped the pain in my knees and tailbone. The seat was very comfortable. Over the weekend, I put probably 200-250 miles on it. No pain in the tailbone and knees. I couldn't believe how comfortable the ride was. I wish I had this seat the weekend I rode to the bay area and back (1200 plus miles!)


The install was great and fit my 05 perfectly. I've had issues with my bike from other after market seat manufacturers. One of them had no idea the pan / tank changed on the 05 models. None of their documentation or catalogs mentioned anything about it. I got your seat and it fit perfectly, I was very pleased!


Thanks again!!

I wanted to thank you for making a great product. I live in Victoria BC and have a VTX 1800T. My girlfriend and I have been on several "week long rides" using the stock seats....and while the drivers seat was OK, the stock passenger seat became a real pain by the 3rd day. By day 4 we were stopping every 45 minutes. Riding is not fun when your partner dreads getting on and off the bike.

The Ultimate seats changed that. In May 2011, I bought a Bigboy driver/passenger seat combo (including drivers backrest) in advance of a trip to south-western USA. In total we covered just under 9000 km in 24 days, with our longest day being 860 km. The Bigboy riders seat is very comfortable and marked improvement over the stock seat. But the passenger seat is a real wonder. My girlfriend had no problems during the trip and is absolutely ecstatic about the new seat. She indicated that "while it may not be bum heaven, it is very close". Indeed, she so enjoyed the ride that we are planning a two month cross Canada adventure next year.

The seat for my 1800 F is VERY comfortable, I don't know why I didn't do
this years ago, and I am pleased when I did decide to get a better seat, I
chose yours.
Thanks for the pleasant conversation at the Delmarva bike week event, and
keep up the great job you are doing with the seats. I will recommend it to
anyone that asks about the seat.

Here are some of the pictures I have so far after I get the passenger seat on I'll send some more. Thank you for all your help and I would like to say I've been riding for about 40 years and your seats are by far the most comfortable and best made seats I have ever owned !

Hi Des,

Thanks mate for a fine product. Went for a ride to try out the bigboy with the backrest and covered 400km and noticed the difference straight away. Went on nice and easy too. My first chioce was the saddleman vtxsolo seat because i was buying through CC but CC sent me the wrong seat and being from Australia its too much money for me to send back so i looked elsewhere for a seat, and so glad i did. Your site said delivery in 10 days and the seat was here in 10 days. Very Happy that you returned all my emails the very next day. Great customer service and a great product. I would recommend these seats to anyone looking for comfort because there it nothing worse than having to stop because your bum needs a break or your back for that matter. My new seat fixed both.

Des,

Wanted to drop a line to let you and your staff know what I think about the seat I received Friday may 6th 2011. The back story is I was on a competitor’s seat for about 7000 miles before pulling the trigger on an Ultimate. On “that” seat I could ride 30-40 miles and I was ready to quit! I am young (31) but a big guy (6’0 255) and have a bad back (4 bulging disks and arthritis) I love to ride and was so disappointed I couldn’t ever enjoy my bike! So after much debate I finally pulled the trigger on a Midrider Plain with Driver Backrest and no LOGO stitching thx to the reviews on VTXOA.com and a buddy who has one on his VTX 1300C. I also must say your staff was very helpful and patient with me when I called and e-mailed with questions. When the seat was delivered to my work I was so excited I had to leave to go home and put it on! The seat and backrest went on my bike very easy and as soon as I sat down to ride the 35 miles back to work I knew I had made the right choice, I put close to 200 miles on the seat the first day and in the last two weeks I have 600-700 miles on the seat, it just keeps getting better! I don’t know how I ever made it before without a backrest! I do wish you made a Bigboy for my model of bike (06 VTX 1300C) just because I would like to be about an inch farther back, but that’s just me being nitpicky LOL. I used to have to stick to riding in town and dreaded riding 35 miles to work because of my back and butt, now I want to ride cross county! Your seats have made riding enjoyable again, so thank you to you and your staff, you don’t call them ULTIMATE for nothing!

Des, I have to drop a note to say THANK YOU for making an unbelievable product. I got the Big Boy 3-piece seat for my VTX 1300 and just got back from a 3 day, 1100 mile trip in to Oklahoma and Arkansas. In the past, I could go 60-80 miles before the numbing pain set in my butt and lower back. On this trip, I never had one moment of discomfort. I truly couldn’t believe the difference your seat made. It’s great to find a product that lives up to its billing and is worth every penny! I’m now an official Ultimate Seat fan for life! Thanks again Des.

Hello,

I just ordered the Low Rider Passenger seat for my '04 VTX 1300C. I currently have the driver's Low Rider and absolutely LOVE IT! My wife doesn't ride, so I'm getting this to make her bottom feel as comfortable as possible for when she does. I'm sure it will be one less thing to worry about while riding with me. I can't wait to put this on the bike.

Thanks for giving us options on the comfort of our "booties".

Des,

I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you these seats and backrests are the BEST. About a year ago, my hubby and I each bought new seats for our VTXs right before taking a 1300 mile trip and could not have been more comfy! I just got the backrests for both of us for our anniversary and let me tell you....... those made a great ride even better!!!

Wonderful product, customer service that can't be beat. Thank you!!!

Dear Des & Leslie,

First and foremost, thank you again for the personal attention to detail and for taking the time to install everything for us this Saturday. I am sure you have a lot on your table with the Daytona Bike Week next week and yet you personally worked with me and our Honda VTX with Saddlemen bags to get a working fit for the Ultimate Seats and my extended my risers to be sure my ride would be both comfortable and safe.

Our goal on Saturday was to see if your Ultimate seat would help make the ride more comfortable for my wife Kathy. Over the past two year we have tried a gel pad ($100) and the more expensive AirHawk pad ($170). Both of these pads did help at first try, but after 60-80 miles she would experience nerve pain and leg numbness. I seemed that no matter how often we stopped once the pain set in the rest of the trip would be very uncomfortable for her and often took away from the joy of the ride/trip and preventing her from joining me for many of our longer Southern Cruiser Riding Club trips.

My stock Honda seat was never an issue, although I had recently bruised my tailbone in a fall making riding the bike these past two weeks miserable riding the bike, even when I used your AirHawk pad

I had called earlier and verified with Leslie that we could try the seats without obligation and we set out from St Augustine to head over before bike week to test them and if not significantly different for Kathy, give up on trying the longer rides.

Upon arrival, Leslie greeted us with a smile and took the time to show us the options and get us set up quickly to test out the entire pack for our VTX 1800 - low rider w/studs for rider and passenger, rider back rest, passenger sissy bar pad and handlebars. I wasn’t sure about the back rest and figured I would try it, but didn’t want one.

Once set and and on our way, Kathy noticed the difference immediately. I wasn’t as thrilled as the seat set me back more, the back rest felt uncomfortable at first and when stopped my leg position wad different putting pressure on my inner thigh while standing the bike up. One significant difference was – my bruised tailbone, no pain, no matter how I sat, the tailbone was comfortable on the entire ride down to Ponce Inlet to test the seats and the entire ride back.

When we returned, we thought we would wait and check out some other options before deciding on purchasing these to be sure. You never raised an issue, went to work changing our seats back and reinstalling our original equipment and thanked us for trying your seats.

Des, I got on our bike, started to leave, and before I could reach J&P cycles my tailbone was killing me and I was concerned that I would have to stop riding the bike for the 4 – 6 weeks my doctor said it would take for it to heal. I stopped the bike, looked at my wife Kathy and said I want to go back and get the seats if they haven’t closed up (it was already after closing hours for you).

We turned around, pulled in and met you in your office, you graciously went back to the warehouse, took the time to reinstall everything and added the handlebar extensions for me, adjusting everything to make my ride safe and comfortable. Kathy went and returned the Airhawk at J&P while I watched you do your magic. The ride home up I-95 was a wonderful, comfortable ride and we were able to go out with our friends and my tailbone never hurt at any time on your seat.

To anyone who is thinking of trying the Ultimate seat and have had bad experiences with other stores and vendors – forget your past experiences as this is truly an honest, fair, friendly, family business who are totally focused on helping you have the best riding comfort in your life. No sales pressure, no false promises, no negative attitude should you test them and decide they are not for you.

I highly recommend Ultimate Seats and will gladly give my endorsement and referrals to all I meet on the rode.

Sincerely,

Roy & Kathy Carlson
St Augustine, FL

PS – I only wish I could replace my Lazyboy recliner cushion with yours because as I sit here writing this – my tailbone is killing me and I will have to take the bike out for a ride again today to take ease the pain.

 
Des,

Just wanted to tell you how much I love my new Ultimate Big Boy seat. I had purchased a second hand 1300 VTX from a friend but could not ride more that 30 minutes before my wife and I would have to stop and walk around. We have gone for 2 hours now and could go further. I am looking forward to ordering a matching passenger backrest to complete the bike.

Thanks,

Hello Des,


Six months ago I received the midrider seat for my VTX 1800F. It was such as I had ordered it and it's very very beautiful. I made 5000km since and it is very comfortable, especially for the back. We do not feel sliding towards the back in the starting up: it maintains us well. But the person who likes this seat is my wife who agrees now to come with me. With the original seat she refused. Furthermore she finds its very original design, much more that other seat than we find on the market

For everything those who one VTX F or C I recommend it strongly. I join some photo with this e-mail.


Thanks to all your team and sorry for my english,it's not my first language................................Merry christmas

Hi Des

I just wanted to drop you a line to say how fantastic your seats are!

I bought my VTX1300R secondhand from a lovely lady in Florida and was very fortunate that she'd already had the full 4-piece Lowrider outfit fitted. I've had the bike for 3 years now and love every minute & thousands of miles I've clocked up, both here in England (UK) and through France, Spain, the Pyrenees and Andorra in Europe, a 2-week 2000+ mile trip in '08, bike fully laden and no sore back or butt. In fact, before I set off on the trip I stocked up on painkillers as my lower back was in a bad way through work, but after a couple of days I was riding pain free! My chiropractor couldn't get over the difference in me and then I showed her the bike - when she sat on it she enthused about how comfortable the seat was and said it was just what I needed (like I didn't already know...)

Many, many thanks from a grateful English lady, I'd recommend Ultimate to anyone!

Annie xx






Never got around to thanking you for putting me into this seat ! Bought a 2008 VTXF, rode 200 miles bitching and moaning and headed directly to your shop. Swapped out the seat and have ran almost 4,000 miles on it since. My girlfriend and I could not be happier with the seat to say nothing of the great service and install by your guy. Thanks, Barry and Ginger - Daytona 2010



 

In June 2010 I purchased an 2 piece rider and passenger seat for my 1300 VTX and my wife and I love it. I get comments and questions about it all the time, so many that I feel like a rep for your company. I wanted to write and say Thank You keep up the hard work and excellent quality.


 

I recently purchased a seat for my Honda VTX 1300 and wanted to share with you my complete satisfaction. It was beyond my expectations. I decided to give it a worthy test ride so on Saturday I rode 350 miles and alas, no sore back, no butt burn! I'm impressed and would recommend your seat to anyone. Thanks!

I received my Ultimate Bigboy seat set a little more than a week ago, and I have to say that it’s ALL that it’s cracked up to be! With the stock seat the best I could hope for was about 60 miles of riding before I was squirming, looking for a place to stop, and yesterday I did a 300+ mile ride and the only reason I had to stop was my bladder.

The Ultimate seat truly is ultra-comfortable - - thanks for such a great product.

Des,
I got home last night and there was that beautiful box from Ultimate seats and inside was the even more beautiful SEAT. I had forgotten what a terrific finish your product has on it. My wife could see the excitement in my face and sent me to the garage to do the installation on my VTX 1300. Less than 20 minutes later I was riding in comfort. Your ad is true...you do not sit on an Ultimate seat, you sit in it. Thanks for a great product.

Des

Sorry we did not get to Galveston, TX to see you but I wanted to let you know much we enjoy the new seats. We purchased the entire VTX Lowrider package, because my Wife hated the pillion seat that came with the bike. She would begin to hurt after only 15 minutes, making it very unpleasant for her to ride with me. The first day that she rode with me after installing the Ultimate seats we rode for about an hour before we stopped. She got off and was very happy “that was such fun, the seat was so comfortable that I did not notice that we rode that long”. Did a 900 mile ride the second weekend after installing the seats and just enjoyed a very comfortable ride. Next we plan to tackle a 3,000 mile ride. Thanks, the seats are great and it is a joy to have her riding with me and that she can enjoy the ride as much as I do.

Hello Des,

I can only describe my Ultimate Seat as Spectacular! I have about 3000 miles on it now and no discomfort and most importantly no tail bone ache. For me it took some getting use to but nothing to out of the ordinary. I will and have recommended this seat to my friends and fellow riders. Your service is second to none which is everything to me. Every time I called I found a friendly, knowledgeable person on the other end of the phone. I will be ordering the drivers back rest very soon.

Thanks My Friend and keep up the good work

WOW!!!!!!!! That was the first word I thought of when I first got my seat for my 1800 R. The week before receiving my seat I took a 200 mile ride and was hurting after the first 70 miles. At least I should say I was in a lot of discomfort. After getting the seat I road about 130 miles without stopping and Never felt any discomfort. I was in motorcycle heaven!!! I can’t wait until I get the backrest to go with it. I can only imagine the ride will only be that much better. I live in Texas and we are known for being friendly and always smiling. Well, I can tell you that I am definitely smiling but now I am smiling on both ends!!! I am very happy but my butt is even happier. You have a great product and should be proud of the service you provide. Every person I talked to was very helpful and I wouldn’t hesitate to call and ask a question. Please tell all that work for you how great they really are. Thank you!!!!!

Just returned from a 150 mile trip on my 2006 VTX 1800N with my new Bigboy ULTIMATE seat. I must say that I am very pleased with the comfort level and over all build quality of the seat. Not only is the seat comfortable but I now have at least two more inches of leg room. This additional seat room makes for a much more pleasant ride and better all around ergonomics. I have had chronic back and neck problems for the last several years and a bike/seat combination that fits me properly is imperative if I am going to ride. I am very picky when it comes to purchasing after market products for my bike so if I am satisfied with this seat, most anyone would be pleased. However, it is important that the proper size seat is chosen for your bike.

The folks at ULTIMATE know what they are doing so let them guide you toward the proper size seat for your bike. I have had other custom seats in the past and none of them compare to the ULTIMATE.

Thanks again for a quality product.

I bought my new Ultimate X low rider and passenger seat a couple weeks ago. I got it and needed to do the trial 100 miles to make my descision. After 100 miles, I gased back up and kept going. After another 100 miles, I saw Nashville 84 miles, so I decided to head to Nashville for the evening. Got up in the morning and was going to see the sites, but was talking to someone and found out Memphis was only 301 miles away, so off I went. Drove straight (other than 2 stops for gas) to Memphis. Stayed in Memphis for a couple days and drove straight (other than several stops for gas) from Memphis to Indianapolis, about 500 miles. In my opinion, if you want a seat for the long haul the Ultimate X is the way to go.

Thanks
Gary Warren


 
Good morning,

I just had to write and let you know what a fabulous ride I'm having this season after purchasing your "ultimate" seat! Ultimate is certainly the correct terminology - it could not have been a better purchase.
I give silent thanks to you every time I get on board...smiles. My husband is thrilled with the look and considers it a nice-looking addition to his"baby" and is certainly thrilled that we can now go such long distances before having to pull over for a break. In fact, he is more likely to need the break before myself! Too often, I think, we are quick to write a letter of complaint but forget to tell people when they are doing a great job - and the people at Ultimate seats are not only doing a great job but doing a service to humanity - even if it just helping out a poor old biker chick's "butt".! I'd like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, but I think it would be more appropriate to just say thank you from my bottom...lol

Take care

Hey Des, I recieved and installed my Bigboy seats on 07-21-08. Got to check them out on a 170 mile cruise. I just wanted to let you know I thought they were just great! Before, after 30 minutes I had to get off and get the feeling back in my legs, back, shoulders & bum. I didn't have any problem what so ever, in fact I was trying to find different routes to go so as to take longer! Also, I thought you would like a picture of them on my trike. I noticed you didn't have any trikes on your VTX Rides. It's a 2003 Honda 1800 VTX Trike Conversion. Thanks Again!

Des,

I called a few months ago and ordered a low rider seat for my VTX 1300. You were gone to a show and a wonderful and knowledgeable lady helped me with my order. The seat arrived a week or so later and the first thing I noticed as I took it out of the box was the craftsmanship! The design, stitching, and attention to detail was apparent. I wondered if the seat was made by one person who is really proud of his/her work.

Next, I was shocked at the ease of installation. I actually took it off and re-installed to be sure I had it right. The fit was perfect! In the last month or so I have ridden it well more than the recommended 100 miles just to be accurate in what I say. I am 62 with chronic back pain and I used to ride 70 to 80 miles with my stock seat and have to take a break and stretch out. Now, I have to buy more gas (160+ miles) before I take a break and my back feels fine! The seat did lower my position and move me forward a bit, both good things. No, I did not buy the back rest (yet); however, the height of the back of the seat itself cradles and supports my lower back perfectly. This is the first "custom" seat I have ever ordered and if I ever trade my beloved VTX, you
folks will be the FIRST people I call.

Please thank the wonderful lady who helped me with my order and the craftsmen who made the seat...they definitely got it right!

To whom it may concern,
I purchased both seats for my 07 Honda VXT 1300R about two weeks ago. Today, July 12, 2008, I just returned from a two week trip to Michigan. I had had new pipes put on, carburetor with new jets for this elevation and they, the Honda dealer, put on my new ultimate seats. I wanted them to see what they looked like. They were impressed, but not half as impressed as I was when I took that bike for a ride. I will tell you this, without your seats, I would think about buying a different make of bike. I found out about ultimate seats from a Honda rider in Colorado Springs. I am not even sure my Lexus feels as good. Have yet to go any distance, but can tell you this , as of this Email I am not going to sell this bike. Seat is a low rider 10090 (plain).

Thank you very much
Respectfully yours

I have a problem with my NEW Ultimate seat..... Prior to getting my new Ultimate seat I could only get my wife to ride for about an hour without stopping to stretch. Now that I we have the new Ultimate seat she won't get off the bike. Even when we stop for fuel she says she is fine and
stays sitting. You didn't warn me about this.

Seriously, we love our new seat. I like sitting lower and closer to the handlebars (I am vertically challenged). I also found the installation to be as easy as advertised. My loves her seat and the back rest. I wish we would have purchased your seat a long time ago.

Thank you.

I can’t say enough about my new seat! My girlfriend and I ran from Pigeon Forge TN up to Bristol TN for the NHRA drag races yesterday (210 miles round trip) to try out our new Ultimate Big Boy seat and loved it! The feel of the seat is deceiving at first. It sits so much different than my stock seat that I was unsure of how it was going to perform. With my stock I could run 30-40 miles and had to stop for a break with 150-175 in a day MAX. After a 200 mile run last fall on the stock I could barely get out of bed the next day I was so sore.

To my surprise, with the Big Boy we were running 80-90 miles between stops with no problem. Could have run further but even in a car after that distance I am ready to walk around for a minute. After running 210 miles yesterday we could barely tell that we had been that far. The terrible sunburn on my face reminded me we had but or tail ends and backs felt great. I would recommend this seat to anybody.

Thanks for a great product and exceptional customer service!

Hi Des
I have never written to any company for any reason, but feel compelled to tell you of my experience with your seats.
My beautiful wife and I bought a Honda VTX 1800 Retro, with the full intention of taking weekend trips, evening rides, and maybe Sturgis or Bikeweek in Daytona.
At first we just thought we were out of shape, and needed to "toughen" up for longer rides.We took a weekend ride with some friends and rode only 150 miles in one day, and we were literally crippled by the end of the first day. We almost needed help getting off the bike. Numb-bum is an understatement, we were in pain. I told my wife we might need to look for another bike, or another hobby. All the next day we were praying for beer stops, on the way home.
Then we met Bill Scobba, who told us about the Ultimate Seat (well named!) Because I am an extremely hard-headed individual, we bought only the seats, and not the backrest at first. The difference in your seat over the stock seat, was instantaneous. We rode around all day, about 230 miles, and both of us could not believe the way we felt. Honda would sell twice the amount of bikes they do, if one of your seats were on every bike that went out the door. Bill finally talked me into the backrest, and now I don't know why I ever rode without it. I left Daytona at 5:30 AM on my 1800 and arrived at home 980 miles later at 10PM, stopping only for gas and food, riding in all kinds of weather, and almost considered riding around an additional 20 miles just to say I rode 1000 miles in one day! The seating system you developed is the only reason I was able to do this. I am 57 years old.
I highly recommend to anyone that rides a motorcycle to purchase the Ultimate Seat, and get the backrest. I have told everyone I come in contact with about our experience with your seats, and everyone we ride with has one. Your seats put the fun in our riding experience. We have met and rode with some of the finest people God ever created, and none of this would have ever taken place if Bill hadn't told us about your seat. I am sure we would still be riding horses every weekend. The seat has started more conversations than I can count, and my wife swears one day my letting people ride our bike to demo, will result in someone stealing it.
I have a suggestion for your marketing department. You need to make a sign to put up on your trailer. " Ultimate Seats, not an accessory, a necessity. Of all the things you buy for your bike, nothing will give you more enjoyment than actually riding it... all day long. We make that possible." Or how about this "Ultimate Seats, the first thing to buy for your bike.... even before gas!" Last one, "Caution: Do your research, don't buy ANY bike till you check to see if we make a seat for it! Don't say we didn't warn you!"
There you go,

Thanks so much,
Bob and the voluptuous Deanna Arrasmith


Greetings,
I was a late starter as a motorcyclist. In 2003, at the age of 44, I got a VTX 1300 Retro. My first trip was from Michigan to Tennessee. By the end of that trip, I had to take a couple days to recover (I'm not as young as I used to be). Since then, I've made several long trips, including an annual 800 plus mile trip to Georgia. I've had to come up with innovative ways to make the trips more comfortable- a combination of foam and fleece, being the most successful. I had resigned myself to limiting myself to 400 or 500 miles a day. Even then, my entire body would be sore. That was until I decided to take the plunge and buy one of your seats. All I can say is.....OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!

On my trip, this past summer, I never experienced any fatigue. Normally, on the way back, my goal has been to make it north of Cincinnati on the first day. That's a little past half way. This year, I went past my "goal" by a couple hundred miles. If it hadn't been for some minor mechanical problems, I may have been able to make the entire 800 mile trip in one day. I have a good friend has a Mustang seat on his Harley. When he
found out I was thinking about getting a new seat, he tried to convince me to buy one, also. Mustangs seats are very comfortable. But, I went with an Ultimate Lowrider. After sitting on mine, he is considering your seats when he replaces his. Your seats are a marvel. I couldn't believe what a difference a seat could make. As I said before, I planned my trips with a daily 400 mile limit. No longer. You brought joy back to my riding. I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my.....eh.....seat.

Many thanks
Rick Carlyon



Well, I have got to give it to you, your seats are UNREAL!!!!!!! I’m a brand new rider, (and I mean brand new), and just purchased a 2004, Honda VTX 1300C, which had one of your Midrider seats all ready installed. Me and a buddy of mine, on our first good trip out was a 600 miles straight thru, (stopping for fuel only), from Tulsa, OK to Galveston, TX. (1300 miles total down and back in 4 days). I couldn’t believe my butt wasn’t sore at all! There is no way I could have made that trip on a stock seat, keep up the good work! But I do have a suggestion, and that would be to come up with a driver back rest for the Midrider, I could have driven coast to coast if I had a back rest. I have enclosed a better pick of my bike that I would like to post other than the one I gave you before. Thanks for all the help. Sincerely, A very happy customer.

Just wanted to let yall know how much I love your seat my first ride on it was 400 miles right after receiving your seat. I couldn’t believe the difference. I had a custom Corbin seat and I would ride it for about a 100 miles and had so much low back pain and my but was numb. Honestly didn’t expect a lot better. But was amazed I felt like a million bucks no fatigue at all. Would recommend your seat to everyone that wants a comfortable ride. Have since forth told everyone I know about your seat and some close friends and family are looking into your seat. As for me I won’t ever ride anything else.

Thanks for making a perfect motorcycle seat.

Des,

I have to admit, your seat is amazing!!!!! I’m 6’5” and 260 lbs. and I could never ride for more than 30-40 minutes on my VTX before I had to stop or go home in pain.

I installed the Big Boy last week and have rode more in the last 6 days than I had in the last 2 months. Today I rode for over 4 hours, the best part of 200 miles and have almost no discomfort at all. I have a chronic tailbone issue and as you wrote, my tailbone has barely any pain at all. I’m going to ride again tomorrow for at least 2 hours.

The seat passes the 100 mile test without question!!! I highly recommend your product and can’t wait for my honey to get a ride on the new passenger seat.

Feel free to use my comments on your website. Take care.

I purchased the Ultimate Seats for my VTX 1800 R several months ago. I ordered front & back, studded, with the embroidered VTX logo on the passenger backrest. I must tell you that these are the finest riding seats ever! My wife and I love to tour the Hill Country here in central Texas. With the Ultimate Seats we can ride for hours and hours in complete comfort, and step off the bike afterwards with no "numb buns" or stiffness. The quality is superb and I am thrilled with your product......worth every penny!

Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am with my new seat. I have a 2005 VTX 1300R that I had installed a 2nd party driver's backrest on. At first it offered some comfort, however, after long term use I found that I was not getting the support I really needed and would experience major back pain even after a short ride. To the point where standing straight would be somewhat painful.
After reading many comments about your product, I decided I would order myself the 4 pc Lowboy w/studs. Now I'm pleased to say I am enjoying my ride the way it was intended to. So far, the longest ride since installing has been 3 hours without having to stretch my legs or make any other adjustments. I was able to get off my bike and walk around as I normally would had I not been riding for 3 hours. Your seat offer's me the support where I really need it in the lower back area whereas the stock seat was simply a pad to sit upon offering no support at all.
Nothing new to you I'm sure, just wanted you to know you have another satisfied customer.

Regards,

I have the VTX1800R . I recently purchased the 4pc. Lowrider seat to replace the "cruel" stock Honda seat. What a difference!!! My wife and I took a trip , along with 11 other bikes of various types, from Spokane Wa. to Victoria B.C. I honestly thought I would get marginal results. Man ,was I ever wrong.And to top it all off ,the styling fits the bike perfectly.Thanks for making the process painless too.

I need to take a moment to thank you and your staff of making this experience of the F model seat nothing but Outstanding. It is the best looking and sitting seat I have ever sat on. Your staff as well was completely helpful from the shipping to ensuring that it was done on time. If you ever need a recommendation please feel free of letting anyone contact me at this email.
Again, Great product and personal service I could not believe this still exist in these times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Des,
Thanks for all your help and putting up with all of my questions. I purchased my Lowrider seat with the expectation of getting it in about three weeks. What a great surprise to see it on my door step in just one week. It was perfect timing as I had a 300 mile ride planned for the next day and was dreading doing it with my stock seat. I immediately put it on my bike that evening. It was extremely easy to install took just minutes as everything lined up perfectly (which is not the case with a lot of after market accessories...).

The next day we did our 300 mile ride and I was extremely pleased with the comfort and the position in which the seat put me.
My wife is just starting to muster the courage to start riding with me and was not totally thrilled after taking a ride on the stock seat. With the addition of the Ultimate seat, she is much happier.

I would definitely recommend this seat to anyone that wants the "Ultimate" in comfort.

Many of my Harley Friends that have purchased Mustang Seats were very impressed with your seat and asked when the Ultimate Seat would be available for them??

Thanks for making such a great product. You may have just help us to stregnthen our marriage by giving us one more thing that we can enjoy together. I am attaching a picture of my bike with the Ultimate Seat. Feel free to use it on your website if you like.

Thanks,
Mark (Houston Texas)


I purchased your Lowboy and passenger seats for my VTX 1300R on May 24th and asked that the seats be shipped express for a planned ride on May 27th. I was assured that the seats would arrive by Friday May 26th. I did in fact receive the seats as promised on Friday and installed them that night.

I liked the look right off. I had searched several seat vendors trying to find a pillion seat for my wife. I even called a couple of companies to ask if they could customize my OEM pillion. I wasn't happy with the answers. I then found your web site on Google and was impressed with the write ups, photo's and especially the customer testimonials. My wife rides a great deal with me and she always complained about the pillion seat. Her back hurt and she was always really fatigued after a day of riding. I was instructed to make getting a comfortable passenger seat a priority, as she just couldn't take it anymore.

We mounted up on the morning of May 27th for a ride with the California VTX Riders to Big Bear. We had to ride a little over 50 miles to the meeting point, then another 50 miles plus to Big Bear. The wife didn't complain once and was quite happy when we arrived at Big Bear. I noticed once we all parked at Big Bear, with 60 plus bikes that quite a few of the bikes had Ultimate Seats installed. We departed from Big Bear and rode the long way home. The all day ride was over 200 plus miles total and both me and especially the wife are really happy with the seats. To quote the wife. "The money you spent on the seats was well worth it, and I must say that after comparing your seat prices to others, I thought they were a bargain".

Thanks for your prompt shipment and for making a great product. You have made riding even more fun.

I took delivery of the 1300c lowrider seat for my 2005 VTX. I was
extremely impressed with the ease of installation, quality and style. This seat is very comfortable and supports the lower back. Thanks for making a great product. Feel free to post my comments and picture!!

I just want to tell you how great I believe your seats to be. I attended a rally in Stecoah Valley North Carolina this past week. I rode to North Carolina on my VTX 1800 from Tulsa Okla. I also managed to ride at least 200 miles daily and a couple of days of 300 miles while I was there. The main reason I'm writing this is not because of that. I'm writing to tell you that I rode all the way back to Tulsa on Sunday the 7th of May in one continuous trip. That's 859.3 miles in the saddle. Your seat more than performed at my expectations and I was still feeling able to ride more if the need be. I will continue to recommend your Ultimate Big Boy or any thing else you make to every one that will listen. Thanks for making a great product and more than that my Tail thanks you also. Oh yes, the trip to ride the Dragon in Deals Gap was well worth the time. Thanks again.

First off feel free to use my comments. Edit it if you can't use the Mustang name.

I finally got my Ultimate Big Boy installed and went for a ride. It fits me so much better than the Mustang Vintage Sport I had. With the Mustang it pushed my forward and I felt cramped, my foot would hit the engine guard when I used the rear brake, so I had to adjust my riding position. I wasn't comfortable. The BB moves me back and now I have plenty of leg room. Just for the record...I'm 6'2" with a 34" inseam and 200 lbs. The quality is great and the comfort is incredible. Pics are attatched.

Thank you,

After 21,000 miles on my stock VTX1800R seat, I just installed my Ultimate LowRider. I pulled the scoot up off the kickstand and eased into my new seat nice and slow....

It was as if little elves had worked on my bike all night and built a leather sofa custom fitted to my seat!

I rode 2400 miles to Corvallis and back to LA on the stock seat and it killed me.....now with the Ultimate LR, I don't think America's big enough.

Thanks for a great product.....and I have to say that my rear-end is grateful too!

Des,

Just put 2739 miles in six days on the new Ultimate seat. Best thing I've ever done to a motorcycle. We rode 14 1/2 hours on day two just to stay in front of tropical storm Tammy with NO discomfort. What a bun saver. I've been riding for 42 years and never sat a seat this good.

To all at Ultimate seats,

My sincere thanks to those who took my order, who manufactured my seat, and who shipped so outstanding fast! I am absolutely blown away by the comfort and workmanship of my VTX 1300 seat. My order also included the installed blinker buddy, and that was just another reason I went with Ultimate seat. That device by itself takes away one more thing for me to worry about. I can now look forward to much morecomfortable miles ahead, and I certainly have you to thank for that!

Sincerely,
Conny Jakoboski - Westfield, MA


Hi Bridget,
I just wanted to thank you for the efforts you and your staff made to get me the Lowrider seat before Sturgis. You and your staff are wonderful !!

I also want to state that your seat is by far the best addition to my bike and to my joy of motorcycle riding. I would have never thought a seat would make such a difference in riding comfort, nor allow a full day of riding without even a hint of discomfort. I've ridden most of my life and sat on many seats. The Ultimate is heads and shoulders above anything my tail feathers and back have experienced. The Ultimate is a fantastic seat. I'll never have another bike without one !

Sincerely,
Ward Stanford



Hi,
I recently took delivery of your VTX 1800R Bigboy seat with studs and an orange logo. A few days after I installed it, I had to go to Wisconsin. Instead of flying (from Cottonwood, AZ), I decided to try out my new seat. Well, I didn't really understand how far an 1800 mile ride was. With the stock seat, my butt would start to hurt after 100 miles or so. So, I expected the new seat to give me 200-300 miles before it got uncomfortable. Well, I was amazed when it was never uncomfortable, even after 1800 miles. Now don't get me wrong, everything else hurt. My knees, my ankles, my back, my eyes, and I never thought my pants buffetting in the wind would be an issue, but after buffetting 3 times per second for 26 hours, I know what chaps are for. But the seat was always comfortable. Even on the third day, after a short break, I sat back on the seat and it was so comfortable to get back on.
Thank you for your wonderful seats. Honda should offer these seats as their standard.

Best regards,
Chuck Conover
Cottonwood, AZ



Des,

You may certainly use this comment on your website. I am not only pleased, but ecstatic over my new Ultimate Bigboy seat. The wife and I rode 750 miles over last Friday and Saturday. Saturday was 540 miles of the total. I was comfortable for the entire ride without one instance of "numb-butt" or backache. That is a real tribute to your seat because I have had other brands and always felt uncomfortable after 200 miles with the best of them. The Ultimate seat is far better than the others.

I, also, want to thank you for the great customer service and Ultimate's policy of doing whatever is required to please the customer. I bought a Lowboy, but the seat position was too far forward (as we suspected might happen during our original conversation) and you traded me for a Bigboy with no additional charges except the difference in original cost. Your policies are truly refreshing in this age of profit motive and the relegation of the customer to a secondary status. I am sure that your company will continue to thrive as you expand your product lines. I have several friends with that "other" brand of American cruiser that want to know if you will be making seats for the other American brand of motorcycle besides the Honda VTX. LOL.

Keep up the wonderful work and you are going to grow.

Brandon is to be especially commended for his handling of my purchase.
Outstanding service.

Des,

Just wanted to drop a note and thank you and Brandon for getting my VTX set up with your seats while at the hoot.

I've done about 700 mi. with the new seats and what a difference! It seems that with each ride, the seat is more comfortable than the previous ride. Guess we're getting acquainted with each other! Nothing short of a superb ride, no low back stiffness or any other
squawks on long rides...just pure comfort!

The payoff though, is when my wife, Jennifer, gets off and has said after EVERY ride so far, "Boy, do I love that seat!" Can't say it better than that.

Again thanks for the service, and it was a true pleasure to meet you and Brandon.

I will tell all who will listen of your stellar products!

Happy Trails!

Des,

After having one of your Low Boy seats with a back rest for less than two months I have riden over 4000 miles with my 1800 VTX Retro. Now just returning from Knoxville for theThe Honda Hoot, touring eigth states and meeting you at your booth, I'd like to tell you again how much your seat has made riding long distances a pleasure. In one day I put on over 650 miles and 2850 miles in eight. The one day I could have went more, but I ran out of daylight. Thanks again for a great seat and incredible service.

Sincerely,
Mark Gerber



Des,

Just wanted to let you know that you guys ROCK!! Picked up my seat yesterday, put it on and took a short putt (about 50 miles). Butt didn't hurt, legs weren't numb, it was awesome!! And having a back rest is the best.

Thanks for the wonderful product. I will definately tell everyone about your seats.

Susan


Des,

Sorry it took so long to reply,got the 3 piece Big Boy seat installed,finally the weather broke so we could ride. Your seats are great looking and sets just like my lazy boy recliner,on my stock seat I could ride 80 miles and I would have to stop and get off and walk around, now I can ride my VTX1800R all day,couldn't get over the difference,you get what you pay for,and I'm glad I purchased your seats because they are Ultimate

Thanks again,

Des:


I am so sorry for not getting back to you sooner about the seats.
With our weather here in Nebraska, we were not able to try them out right away. But as soon as the weather got better and we didn't have to work we jumped on the motorcycles for a ride. I can tell you I didn't even
get out of the driveway before I knew I was going to love my new Ultimate seat!! And love it I do. I can't wait for our first weekend trip!!
Thanks a bunch!! Mary

P.S. I had 'researched' new seats, read message boards, etc..the whole bit before I decided on the Ultimate even though I had never sat on one. My husband was going to wait to see if I liked minefirst....but, he ordered his along with mine mostly on a whim, so I was a bit concerned how he was going to like his. And he LOVES it.
Kudos to you!!


Des:


After doing a lot of research, reviewing discussion boards, and talking to associates about bike custom seats I settled on the Ultimate Seat with the Back Support. As soon as I received my seat I easily installed it and took off that weekend on a 600 mile ride. You have to understand my dedication to riding that weekend. It was January, in the middle of winter in Utah, with temperatures near freezing. I rode from Salt Lake City to St George and back. Needless to say, I was the only biker on the roads that day. With my heated gloves and socks I kept pretty toasty warm on my VTX 1300. However, the warmth was not what amazed me the most—it was the comfort of my seat and back support. After having endured long sore rides in the past, I was just amazed with how comfortable my ultimate seat was. I was actually disappointed each time I HAD TO STOP for gas. I could have ridden forever and ever without a sore lower side and back. Thanks for the design and development of the ultimate seat. I now understand the reason you titled your seats ultimate. Now all I need is an ultimate way to keep riding without having to stop for gas.

Des,

Just wanted to let you know that I received my seat today and I put it on at lunch and rode for about 45 minutes. I’m in heaven. Dude, this is the ULTIMATE seat and it goes great with my color of bike.

I’ll send pics as soon as my camera charges.
Thanks again. Wonderful seat. I thank you, my back thanks you, and my butt thanks you…..hehe

Des,
Just wanted to send you a little note to express my sincere thanks for making such a fine backrest for the Ultimate Bigboy I bought from your previously. Not only looks great on my VTX 1800 but is extremely comfortable and will pay big dividends to me on those long rides this spring. When I first looked at the backrest I was very impressed with the attention to detail and durability of this product. Really allows me to just kickback and enjoy the ride. I only wish you sold more products as your quality and outstanding customer service sets a very high standard. Thanks again….

Des:
Received our (My wife owns our VTX 1800) Bigboy seat and passenger seat, and it 's awsome. My wife Rhonda, said we were going to have to sell our VTX because she couldn't ride no further than 30 minutes at a time. As a last resort, we heard about your seat and took a chance on it. $500 vr's $12,000 made a little more since to me. Boy did it pay off. She won't get off our Honda now!!!! We have rode up to 4 hours at a time, and could go even longer. With the back rest supports, and the comfort we get from your seat, we can now tackle the road in style and leasure. We like everything about the Bigboy. The design is AWSOME..... Again thanks so much.
I will be telling all my rider friends down here in the South about your seats. My Rhonda thanks you and so do I.

I received my 4 piece lowrider yesterday dec 16, 04. It was plus 9 degrees in southern Alberta with lots of sunshine. I took advantage of this warmth to try out my new seat. What a pleasure it was. I cruised about 50 kms down the highway and when I came back home and got off my VTX 1800 Retro I coundn't believe how good my back felt. I thought I was on a lazy boy. Fantastic seat and well worth the money. I love it and cant wait to go touring next spring.

Des,

I bought one of your Ultimate seats for my '04 VTX-1300 Retro back in September. I had a trip from Houston to Bandera coming up the week after I ordered it and was hoping it would get here before we headed out. It came in with a couple of days to spare. My stock seat would kill my tail after only an hour and I couldn't face another long ride on it. I put on the Ultimate seat, made the trip to Bandera and found that I could stay in the saddle for 2.5 to 3 hours at a stretch. I had a happy butt on the trip. I've put over 7500 miles on it and still think it's the best purchase I've made for my bike. It fits better everyday.

I want to thank you for getting it to me so quickly. I've recommended the Ultimate to everyone that has asked about which seat to get. It has made life on the bike so much more enjoyable. I'll have the Ultimate seat on any future bikes I have also.

Thanks again,

Becky and I (POGOGOLF) love our Lowrider 4-piecec setup. I just wanted to give you some feedback after a few 100 miles (close to 500 since we installed everything) and let you know we truly love the ride. Thanks again for the calls we had back and forth to get it all down pat on the front end....I'll recommend your seats to anyone who asks.

Later and God bless,

Just a quick note to say that you have one "very satisfied customer". While in Daytona at Bikeweek a couple of weeks ago, I ordered the new Ultimate Big Boy seat for my Valkryie trike and rode it yesterday for the first time. It was wonderful! So much more supportive and comfortable that the original Honda seat that came on the trike.

Thanks so much!

Des,

Thanks so much for getting the Lowrider 2 seat here so fast before Daytona!!! Absolutely as promised the most comfortable seat over long or short distances, without moving me closer to the tank - and an added bonus - when getting on and off the bike, the drivers backrest folds down and back up as to be almost invisilble. And the blinker buddy keeps me from getting flagged down by the neighbors anymore.

Bottom line is I'm super comfortable and relaxed on my VTX now. That wasn't the case driving it stock!

Keep up the great work and service,

Des,

I wanted to drop a line and let you know how great I think the Ultimate Big Boy seat is. I received it Wednesday but due to weather couldn't ride till today. I did a hundred miles and I never felt any saddle soreness. My wife loves her passenger seat and back rest as well. I have owned other after market seats but won't again that is for sure. A quality product that is well made and lives up to its reputation on VTXOA and meets you guarantee. I look forward to many more long rides with it and a drivers backrest in the spring. :)


Thanks

Hey Des,

BluDog I just returned from a 30 day, 10,400 mile cross country trip from NJ to CA and back. I couldn't have done it without your seat. I wanted to let you know that I NEVER felt saddle sore or any numbness. I'm so happy, I plan on doing another trip this Spring/Summer. I want to do the northern states and Canada. Maybe I'll stop in :-)

Thanks for a great Product

Des, I love the new Ultimate Big Boy seats. We ran a poker run route this past weekend we had done in the spring on the stock seats. On the stocks I was so sore halfway through the route I could hardly walk. This time on the Ultimates I was so comfortable I nearly fell asleep and at the end I was still ready to go riding some more and whats more, no butt soreness at all!!! . The next day I was full of energy and not fatigued like I usually am after a weekend of riding. Had a passenger rider on the other VTX with us on the poker run and she was on the stock seat, she too complained of being butt sore halfway through the poker run, so it wasn't just me that felt sore on the stock seat. I showed the Ultimate seats to our local Honda dealership before we installed them and they were so impressed with them they contacted you right away to see if they could sell them too! A few days later I asked them if they had heard back from you after giving them the info to get in touch with you and they said yes and they had already sold Ultimate seats to two people! This seat sure has made riding as a passenger much more enjoyable...to me they are worth a million bucks! Probably made my husband happy to feel no more squirming or making frequent stops to get the soreness out of my butt. He loves his new Ultimate seat too, especially the way it gives his tailbone support.

You have my permission to use this emal in your customer comments... I LOVE MY ULTIMATE SEAT and I thank you for designing them!

 

Des,
Just wanted to let you know you have another extremely satisfied customer. I purchased the Bigboy for my VTX1800R and it is awesome. I put a 100 miles on it the first day and I was more comfortable than I have ever been. I have had several different bikes and a few seats (incl. a another major aftermarket manufacturer), but your seat is by far the best. Everything you say it will it do from comfort to positioning was right on. Additionally, my wife injured her tailbone as a kid and has never been able to ride for more than 15-20 minutes before she is in pain. We took a 1hr ride the other day to test it out and she loved it. She said the passenger seat is more comfortable than most car seats she's sat in. Only problem, now I need to order one of your backrests for her as well - oh well(lol). Finally, your customer service was top notch. Overall you sell an outstanding product/service.

Thanks,

Des,
Thanks for a great product. I am not much for riding 100 miles and stopping for a drink and with this I can ride until reserve is on fumes and keep going after a quick pit. I will be sure to recommend your seats to anyone who is asking. It is a can’t miss seat.
Hope all is well and be prepared as your business is only going to get busier.

Thanks again!

Thank you Ultimate Seats
I ordered my Ultimate Seats Big Boy, and delivery was prompt, even with the special embroidery (The Standing Wolf looks AWESOME in blue). At once I noticed the difference in the comfort level. In my butt’s opinion, the stock VTX seat is approximately a 230-250 mile seat. More than that many miles in one day, and things got a bit uncomfortable for me. After installing the Big Boy, I immediately noticed a difference. I thought to myself, “Now THIS is a 500-mile seat!”. Well, the proof is in the ride, as they say. This past weekend, I rode from South Jersey, to Hamilton, Ohio (just past Cincinnati). The trip covered 600 miles each way. The seat performed wonderfully. After 13 hours, I gotta admit, I was a little fatigued getting off of the bike. I had been stuck in 3 different traffic jams, so the trip took much longer than I expected. Coming home was another story. I did the entire trip in 10 hours. I felt like I could have ridden another 300 miles if I had to. I had literally no fatigue or soreness what-so-ever. I actually took my FireBlade (sport-bike) out for a couple of hours, soon after arriving home. Your seat has made a huge difference on my VTX (and on my butt)!! I’ll be riding out to California, next year. The group I’m riding with will be traveling 500 miles each day. Wimps!

Thank you, Ultimate Seats. And thank you, Dean, for allowing me to get the Standing Wolves embroidered in blue. They really do look awesome!!

Des,
Received my new seat yesterday and could hardly wait to put it on. Haven't seen this type of quality in a long time and the precise detail of the stitching and embroidery was very impressive. These seats are fairly expensive but in my opinion probably the very best upgrade a person can make on his machine. Taking it down the road for the first time was simply amazing and your customer service was top notch. Highly recommend the VTX Logo embroidery and it adds a little something to an already top-notch product. I sincerely appreciate the superior quality of your product and the excellent personality you displayed as we ironed out the details when I placed my order. Thanks, Again,

James Arnold

 

Des,
I purchased the four piece low rider from your vendor stand at the Honda Hoot. I left Knoxville at 6:00a.m. this morning and had such a comfortable ride, I didn't stop riding untill I got home. 548 miles and not even a case of warm buns and nary a tingle. I'm 62 years young and feeling great after a very full day in the saddle. Thanks for making the ride fun again.

Wooo Hooo! I got my new seat yesterday (thanks for the tracking number). I'm 6'6" and 350lbs. My ass started to fall asleep after about 30 miles on the stock seat due to pressure on my tailbone area. I could go about 50 miles before really needing to stop and walk around a bit. Just to try it out, I rode about 80 miles yesterday without stopping and my ass didn't even start to go numb! I stopped for gas and didn't even stand up it was so comfortable! Thanks for making a seat for us big guys!

Hello Dean,

I just wanted to let you know that it is a pleasure to do business with you. Ultimate seat products are great and your cheerful attitude makes the purchasing experience great as well. Thank you for your cheerfulness and positive customer oriented attitude.

Best Regards,

Thanks for building such a wonderful seat! I had my doubts before I ordered your seat for my VTX but it completely cured my sore tail bone after riding for 50 miles or more. I can ride all day now with no tail bone discomfort. I can't say enough how comfortable your Big Boy seat is. The only mistake I made in ordering was not ordering the red stitching to go with my red bike, but as comfortable as the seat is, I can live with the silver stitching. thanks again for a great product that is worth every penny that I paid.

Des & Dean,

Thanks so much for making this seat. Not only does it look great, but my first ride was a 250 mile loop, and I was extremely comfortable the whole time. The support on my back and butt are fantastic :-) AND the logos and name on the seat are dynomite.
I can tell you that "Blu Dog" and I will be very happy on our cross country trip this fall. I will tell everyone about this seat.

Thanks again
Dennis Harrigan

 

Des i want to thank you and your staff for a wonderful seat. I done quite a bit of research before finally deciding on your seat and i know now it was the right choice. I'm 6ft 2in and weigh 400lbs and i bought the ultimate big boy and it is like riding a whole new bike. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future.
Thanks

Des,

I received my '02 VTX Retro seat yesterday. The craftsmanship is superb, it's a work of art, and it's darn comfortable as well. So, I took it for a ride today. 500 miles round trip. How anybody could ride on any other seat is beyond me. I tried the other seat made by M _ _ _ _ _ g, it went back the very next day! That's when I called you. Am I glad that I did!! You literally saved my ass, and it thanks you.

Thanks Des,

Des,

Just wanted to take a minute while the snow is STILL flying here in upstate NY and say thanks for a quality product!

I had a Mustang seat on my last bike and wanted to wait for the Ultimate after hearing rave reviews on the Delphi Forums VTX Riders Forum. Your Ultimate Lowrider for the 1300C hasn't let me down. The padding in the seat seems to almost make it feel like your riding on air. And also that extra little push forward from the sacroiliac support in the rider's seat is just enough to relieve fatigue in the arms. Before the Ultimate Lowrider the bottom of my right arm from my elbow to my shoulder would go numb on 100 mile rides.

Not to be forgotten my wife sends her support and thanks as well with the widest and most comfortable aftermarket seat out there. It was definitely worth the wait and warrants my endorsement any time.

Stay Smart and Ride Safe!

Thanks again,

You guys absolutely exceeded my expectations. The seat looks and feels great. The embroidery of the FD logo couldn't look better and you've just left me speechless.

In a world full of disappointing vendors, you guys have shined!

Great work and please pass on my thanks to the folks behind the scenes.

Thanks Des!

From the VTXOA web site:

have to tell you, the people at Ultimate seats, are really great. I ordered a new Lowrider seat for my 1800 Retro, in February, had it made with leather and blue stitching, really like the looks of it, but rode my bike the first time this past weekend, since I got the new seat. it really felt like I was sitting on the gas tank, I'm just to close to the tank. But since there guarentee says, they only cover workmen ship on custom seats, like mine, thought I would have to live with it. I e-mailed them today, just to see if they could modify mine in some way, heard right back from Dean there, told me to send my Lowrider back and they would replace it with a Big Boy seat. You all know how important customer service is, and it seems like the people at Ultimate Seats do also. They got my business from now on. Would encourage anyone wanting a new seat to at least take a look at Ultimate seats. I don't have any experience with the other manufactures of seats, to compare them with, just know I'm happy with Ultimate.

Two years and 28 days is two years and 28 days tooooo long to ride on the Retro stock seat...............

My Ultimate "Big Boy" arrived today, installed in a minute and I was gone for the first test ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After 10 seconds on "MY NEW BIKE", all I can say is... IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I only got to ride down to the gas station and back (it's still cold here) but I can only imagine how comfortable this would have been on the ride to California last August.... makes me want to ride to Daytona, right now!!!!!!

It does lift me just a bit.... but it's well worth it so far!!!! It doesn't push me forward like the "Standard" Ultimate does... but I don't feel any further away from the handle bars. I actually feel a little more upright, less slouch in my back, better back support, better riding position and oh, so cushy........

I can't wait to get it out for a long day's ride!!! If I get to ride to Tucson in a couple of weeks as planned, it's gonna be a tough decison on which bike to take!!!!!!

So if you've been thinking about the "Ultimate" but don't want to be more forward..... go large - go Big-Boy !!!!!!!!!!

Des,

Just a note to let you know, you can't have the seat back! I have been riding for 36 years and I have never been this comfortable on a Cruiser. Besides the wife wouldn't let me send it back if I wanted to. When she rode on the stock VTX1300 seat, 35 maybe 40 miles, she would have to stop. Last weekend we rode 115 miles straight with no squirmming or complaining. Thanks Again Des!!

I hope to see you at the Hoot again this year.

Best Regards,
Carl "castaway" Grimes

 

Greetings Des, this is Ken...(Virginia Beach, Va.)

Wanted you to know, I received my 4 piece Ultimate BigBoy Seat set and am so very pleased with how wonderful a product you have provided for me...and my tush. I installed the seats/backrests with ease, just as you stated it would be. Although I didn't have the opportunity to ride until a week after putting them on, once I did, I put over 100 miles on with absolutely no discomfort at all. The riders seat provides me with the room I've needed and the backrest is an awesome feature which gives that added support, whether on short or long rides. This entire set looks GREAT on my Retro X and I've enclosed several photos for you to view and use as you please as part of your "customer comments" page. I truly Thank You for your time, recommendations, insight and expertise in the decision process with these seats. I'll highly recommend your seats and products to all who are looking for a seat(s) that I know they'll be very happy with.
Again, Thank You...

Take Care...and, Stay Safe!!
Respectfully,

Des,
Here is a couple of pics of my wife's VTX with her new seat on it. We just got back last week from a 1700 miles trip from Ohio down to Deal's Gap, The Smokey Mount. National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our first day ride was 410 miles and our return ride was 460 miles in one day, with all the other rides of at least 200 miles or more. Her seat performed GREAT! It fits her well and as you can see by the pictures it looks GREAT too! By the way, my Ultimate big boy did a fantastic job too! Thanks for building the perfect motorcycle seat.

Des,
Seats arrived fine, and they look great. I must say, your quality looks as good as any I've seen. The acid test will hopefully come this weekend, when "the boss" gets a ride. I'll let you know how it goes. Until then, here is a picture so you can see how the finished product looked installed.

Best Regards,
Jim


 

Des,
This is Don Hicks in Tampa (Wesley Chapel) FL. Have had the seats now about
two months and they are great. Took some pictures and though you might want to see what they looked like on a 03' Candy Red (The Fast Type) VTX 1800 C. These are with the Honda Line sissy bar and your pad.


 

Hello des
Well when i asked about your seat you were very good about telling me i was to big and to tall for your seat. but you said try it if you want. Listen this is harry gunzel from chipley florida.Ii weigh 275 and am 6 foot 2 tall. well i will tell you this you cant have the seat back. It fits just to well. the stock seat on that 1300 vtx retro was bad. If i could ride 50 miles it was a wonder. And i had to force myself to stay on the bike for 50 miles. I havent really taken any long trips yet but 100 miles is no problem. then a short rest and back the 100 miles. so if i can ride these may miles and no problem whats there to worry about. i just wanted to say a job well done and a very fine product. i will be sending for the back rest soon for the sissy bar. also when i got the seat on it took about 15 minutes and was all installed. and one other thing with the seat and back rest i feel like one with the bike not just siting on the seat. it gave me far more control of the machine than the stock seat. also just to prove this i had other people ride the bike and tell me the samething. so again thanks for a fine seat and i will tell others. a very thankful 51 year old gray haired biker. no more sore ass at 15 miles

Des,

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know I received my Ultimate seat yesterday. I love it! Great seat! Very comfortable! Looks wonderful! Just wanted to say thanks! I posted some feedback on the www.vtxoa.com forum for the other X'ers if you would care to read.

Have a great day!

DES

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SEAT.
THE SERVICE AND QUALITY ARE FANTASTIC. I PASS ALONG YOUR WEB SITE TO ALL THAT HAVE VTX'S. SOME WANT TO KNOW IF YOU WILL BE MAKING SEATS FOR OTHER BIKES.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE PROMPT DELIVERY, CAME EXACTLY WHEN YOU PROMISED. A LONG TRIP ON A BAD SEAT IS TWICE AS LONG.
THANKS

Des,

I can't say enough good things about this seat. I have never felt more comfortable on a bike in my whole life. I don't feel the pressure under my legs at the edges of the seat like I did with the stock seat. The seat is firm yet I can tell that it is conforming to my rear end personally. I was only able to do 40 miles before the drizzle drove us back home but I can tell that my sore saddle days are gone! Thank you so much for making this seat for me.

I have told other people on the forums and you should expect to be very busy in the future making seats for 1300's.
You're the best!

Marilyn

 
Des,
Just wanted to share a couple of pics with you. Thank you so much for providing such a great seat. I put a couple hundred miles on the bike this weekend in total comfort. Much better than the stock rock that came with the bike.

I should be meeting with a couple of people this week specifically to show them the seat. I have also shared my feelings about the VTXR Lowrider seat via posts and pics on the VTXOA and a post on Delphi.
