Dear des I recently purchased an ultimate seat for my 2011 Vulcan 900 classic Lt. I have tried other seats around same price (won’t mention any names ) they still left my butt numb. Some say it puts you closer to the tank and looks oversize hogposh you will get to love it as I have .After two rides of approx. 200 K I’m like the energizer bunny I’ll keep going & going & going till I have to get gas. Also I live in North Bay On. Canada and received my seat in one day after I ordered it (now that's service!!) anybody my weight 260 height 6-2 stop shopping go right to the ultimate. Its obvious why that's its name! here is a pic. of my bike without backrest and sissy bar. Again thanks for the comfort and if you want pic. with backrest let me know Ken. P.S. I look nothing like that _ _ _ _ _ng BUNNY!!!!!!!

I ordered a 4 piece set for my Kawasaki Vulcan 2000. I received it in 2 days. I put it on right away. It fit snug, but perfectly. It improved the looks of my bike quite a bit over the Mustang seat I had. I spent the last two days riding farther than I could ever ride before. This seat is amazing. I am 6’4” and 375 lbs. Riding on the Mustang seat I had to stop every hour. After a long ride on the Mustang seat I couldn’t ride for days. After riding on the Ultimate seat for hours, I began to feel a little uncomfortable. I stopped to refuel , and felt great when I began to ride again. I have found that if I begin to feel uncomfortable, all I need to do is stand up for a minute and stretch. Then I am good to go. Thank you Ultimate Seat. Now I can ride all I want.

Des,
I just wanted to say a big thank you! I got my Vulcan 1500 seat late last week and rode 300 miles over the weekend. Its like I'm riding a two-wheeled couch! Actually smooths out a lot of the bumps in the road. Your seat is great! The rider's backrest is top notch too!
Thanks,
Brian

Good afternoon, I received my new seat today. For my lehman storm trike.I thought you may like to know it took 3mins to install it and it fit like a glove. Very happy. Thanks to the whole staff for the great service.
Best,

Hey Des -
Just got out for the first (short) ride with the new seat on my Vulcan 900 and I must say that my girlfriend and I think the seat is fantastic! It's a completely different experience from the old seat and much more comfortable. Could NOT be more satisfied with this seat from the very first ride.
The studded seat plus the silver stitching looks great with the black matte finish of the custom Vulcan. Once I get the passenger seat pad swapped out (cursed crap Kawasaki bolts) I'll send in some pics of the total package.
Totally satisfied. Totally smiling again on the ride. You guys make one hell of a seat.

Des,
I just wanted to thank you for the great service that I received when I ordered my Ultimate seat from you about a month ago. Attached are a couple pictures of my ’08 Kawasaki Nomad with it installed. Perhaps you can use them on your website.
The weather in Calgary has been pretty crappy this spring so I have only gotten in a couple of 2 to 3 hour rides on the new seat. So far it does feel better than the stock seat. The real proof will be in a couple of weeks when I embark on a 10+ hour ride to Osoyoos for a the Volusia Riders rally.
Thanks once again!
Des,
Just wanted to let you know how much I like your seats! They fit and feel great on my bike. Thanks for producing such a good product!
Thanks again,
Russ
Just wanted to let you know that I just returned from a road trip around Lake Superior and I was very impressed and satisfied with my new Ultimate Seat for my Vulcan. I was skeptical that it would be noticeably better, and I was proven that it was worth every penny! I didn't get sore AT ALL!! I will be happy to recommend your seats to my rider friends. Very nice product, keep up the good work.
Thanks!

Hi Des:
Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for the seat that you made for my Vulcan 1500 over the winter. I left your shop and rode all the way to Trenton Ontario before I had to stop for gas. (About 2hrs.) I then got some gas and a coffee and rode the rest of the way home. (About 2 more hours.) You have great staff; Len and Turkey were real good to me while I was there.
I could never ride for more than an hour and a half without starting fidget before and after 4 hours of riding I didn’t even feel it. My wife was following me and she couldn’t understand why I wasn’t stopping until I told her how comfortable the seat was. She has now tried the seat and loves it.
Thanks Again
