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

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 competitors
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 (60 255) and have a bad back (4 bulging disks
and arthritis) I love to ride and was so disappointed
I couldnt 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 dont 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 thats 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 dont
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
couldnt believe the difference your seat made. Its
great to find a product that lives up to its billing and
is worth every penny! Im 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 wasnt sure about
the back rest and figured I would try it, but didnt
want one.
Once set and and on our way, Kathy noticed the difference
immediately. I wasnt 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 havent 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.

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

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

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.

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,

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 was
extremely impressed with the ease of installation, quality and
style. This seat is very comfortable and supports the lower back.

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

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.

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,

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.

Just wanted to let you know that I received

minutes. I’m

with my color of bike.
I’ll send pics as soon as my camera charges.
Thanks again. Wonderful seat. I thank you,

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….

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,

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.

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,
Gary Jordan

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,
A loyal customer,

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

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!

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,
Ken Littlejohn (LJ of VTXOA)

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

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

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know I received my Ultimate

for the other X'ers if you would care to read.

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!

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.
