Dear folks at Ultimate
In 07', I purchased a gel seat for my 05 Road Star, for our trip to sturgis,
and after lengthy research, (hadn't heard of you guys) thought that it would
be what I was looking for. It is 1200 miles from where we live to Sturgis. This
seat was horrible. We got married at Bulldog campground on the 31st of July,
and were to head home on the 2nd of Aug. I was really dreading the ride back.
As we were headed back to the campground on the last evening, I saw your trailer,
and made a u-turn, wife say's "what are you doing"? I said you will
see. We sat on the seats that you had set up, and I bought the whole set. When
the seat was installed, the first words out of the wife's mouth when she mounted
were "OH MY GOD". The seat was heaven! Now for the sad part.
We left the next day, and after 145 miles, we hit a rain storm, HUGE rain storm.
We pulled off the road, got in some mud that looked like gravel, and I dropped
the bike, at zero miles an hour. Wife was not hurt, but the bike landed on my
leg, and broke it in three places, spent 7 days in the spearfish hospital, and
had to fly home. It was 8 months before I was able to try the seat again. I have
since healed, and we have made two trips to Sturgis since, and the seat was wonderful.
We are planning another trip to Sturgis this year, and the Wife now rides her
own bike. I purchased a rider seat and back rest for her bike, and she simply
loves it.
Your people were simply awesome, and we are very grateful for your product, and
your help. Just wish you made a seat for the Sportster I ride around here LOL.
And by the by, I am 65 years young, and I think that your seats will keep me
in the saddle for a few years to come.
I have enclosed a photo of my roadstar. We have put about 13000 miles on the
seats.

I bought a set of your seats for my 2008 Yamaha Roadstar Silverado S shortly
after I got it. I now have 23,542 miles on her. I'm 50 years old and I
must say, Your seats are great!!
I have road several all day trips (sun up to sun down) and when done, I
have no aches and pains at all. My wife loves her seat and backrest, said
it fits very good and keeps her in place with no slide-up.
If I ever get another bike I will put them on it also. You have made a
believer out of me and my wife. Keep up the good work.

I bought a new Yamaha 1300 Tourer about a year ago and did some short rides
with some of my friends. One weekend my wife and I were invited to
go on a ride to a destination that was 4 hours from our house. With
the stock seat we had to get off of the bike and walk around for about
15 minutes after about an hour of riding to rest our butts. By the
time we got home that day we were so sore that even the couch hurt
to sit on! I asked some friends about different seats and all of them
kept telling me to get your Ultimate Seat. I went ahead and purchased
them and boy are we ever glad we did! We can now ride for hours with
no pain at all. These seats are GREAT!!! I would recommend them to
everyone. Not only are they comfortable but they are very easy to install
too. Took me about 15 minutes! You really have a great product! Thanks! |

I just finished a 1000 mile trip with my new Ultimate seats, and all
I can say is WOW. I wasn’t even the slightest bit sore. I could
have easily rode another 1000 miles. This has been by far the best
purchase for my Vstar 1300. My wife is also extremely happy with the
wider passenger seat. Our experience with Ultimate has been OUTSTANDING!!
Thank you so much for your excellent product! I
will be highly recommending this seat to everyone I ride
with.

I have had my Midrider seat for several weeks now. I have put over 1000
miles on my bike with this seat. I love this seat. The day it arrived
I put it on my Road Star and rode for over 4 hours with only two quick
stops for gas and something to drink. When I got home I got off my
bike and it really felt like I had only rode for a short distance.
My back did not hurt and my legs were not all numb and shakey. The
more I ride, the more I appreciate this seat. It just keeps getting
better. I am 6 foot and weigh 250 lbs. Also I'm 53 years old. To ride
for hours with no discomfort is great. I have told everyone who will
listen about your seats. I should also say that I have owned a Mustang
seat and your Ultimate seat is better, hand down. And if there is a
trophy for customer care, you should get it. Thanks for making a great
product and taking care of your customers.

I just wanted to let you know I really do appreciate the customer service
you provided me. I received my seat today,07/10/09, via UPS. And I
will have to say this is the best seat I have ever had the pleasure
to ride on, or in. It easly beats Mustang and beats Corbin hands down.
I've owned both. It came in at about 5:00 this afternoon and I put
it on my Road Star as soon as I got it. I then left the house and rode
until 9:30 tonight. I made a couple of stops during the ride but pretty
much rode the whole time. The whole ride was totally without any back
pain or discomfort. I am 53 years old and I'm 6 foot tall and about
250 pounds. I use to ride no more than an hour at a time and when I
got off my bike, my back would kill me. NOT NOW. THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU. I don't know how far I went, I just rode. It was great.
James Pettis,

Happy owner of a Ultimate Seat. P.S.
I think my Road Star is even happy |
|

I have had my Ultimate seats for going on three summers. I have put 16,000
miles on the seats on my Roadstar and have never been more satisfied
with a product. I have owned Corbin and Mustang seats and they were
no where near the comfort of your product(s). I will be traveling to
Sturgis this summer and my seats will make the trip as comfortable
as always…Thanks you Rock!

and I rode 200 miles like it was nothing. No sore butts.Outstanding product
and craftmanship, fit and finish is perfect. We are really looking forward
to a long trip.
Thank you for such a great product.

Des,
I was skeptical of all the positive reviews with no negative ones. Not
anymore. I'm 56 and interested in comfortable riding. My stock seat was
not very comfortable and caused pain after a short time. I tried the beaded
seat cover which did absolutely nothing. Then tried the gel pad which was
no better than the beads. Then tried the Air Hawk seat cushion which did
work fairly well but still had discomfort after about the 1st hour and
then about every 45 minutes there after. The discomfort really never went
away for very long after the first stop and who wants to ride with that
feeling. Yesterday I rode 145 miles to your Ormond Beach location. Took
the scenic route so by the time I got there my rear was pretty uncomfortable
to begin with. Figured with your 14 day return policy I had nothing to
lose. The new seat went on my 07 Roadliner in 20 minutes and away I went.
Took another scenic route home and rode for 2 1/2 hours at one stretch
without stopping and there was no pain. Not even any discomfort and I was
just breaking the seat in. 6 hours and 310 miles later with only 3 short
stops (under 5 minutes each) for water, head and gas I arrived home with
no rear pain or discomfort. It felt like I could have ridden all day without
stopping. Best investment I've made to my bike and can now look forward
to much more comfortable riding in the future.
Thanks for a great seat!

Des,
Great service, great product!! Thank you for making
something to really make me “Part” of the
bike. My butt feels great, I don’t slide about,
and the family loves the back seat and armrests. Keep
up the great work. Attached you will find 2 shots of
my bike with all your gear installed, feel free to
post in your pics area.

Thank you for the prompt delivery of my new roadstar rider seat , only
7 days acsoss Canada , i knew as soon as i sat on it for the first
time that you have agreat product. The feel of my new riding position
feels like i'm part of my bike not just along for the ride. This it
what riding is suppose to feel like! When we stop for a ferry or for
a roadside break i don't get off the bike it's that great. I liked
my roadstar before but now i love it!!
best regards

Purchased the seat approximately three weeks ago, via phone, and was promised
an approximate 3 week delivery date. Received it last Wednesday within
the time frame promised. The written enclosed installation instructions,
with pictures, made the task of switching out the stock seat for the
Ultimate seat fairly simple. Road on it over the weekend for about
240 miles. The seat was as advertised fitting my butt like a cozy fits
a beer can. At no time during the trip did my rear come off the bike
feeling sore.
Once again,
Thanks!!

Hi Des
I ride a 2006 Stratoliner and after a few hours in the saddle, I was in
pain.
I put up with the stock seat for a couple of seasons and finally looked
everywhere for a new seat.
My final decision was an Ultimate seat that I put on just before a week
long trip to the east coast.
I have never been happier!
I rode 5000 Kms in one week and never had a problem.
Thank you for the seat that made my trip!
Try and market this seat more in Canada...it's the greatest!!!

This is the first tine I have owned seats this comfortable and good looking.
The stock seats on my Stratoliner were about enough to want me to sell
the bike. After installing your seats I now think the gas tank is too
small. These are hands down the best seats on the market. On top of
this your staff is great. They went out of there way to make sure I
got what I needed. As I am 6’ 7” tall most seats push me
to far forward but not yours.
Thanks to you and your staff.

Hello,I purchased my Ultimate seat for my Yamaha Road Star only one week
ago, and having travelled all over north america, on my bike over the
years, I must say my Butt has died and gone to heaven.
This seat is amazing, it is so comfortable, and seats you in the right
position especially with the drivers backrest added, my daughter loves
the passenger seat also and now wants to ride with the group we ride with
on the back with me.
Thanks to all at Ultimate seats

I just received my Yamaha 1300 leather seat yesterday, installed it in
30 seconds and took it for a ride today. Wow. Thank you! It's incredibly
comfortable and fits me a lot better than the stock seat. I feel like
I'm part of the bike. No sliding around and the width in the front
of the seat allows me more leg room at the stops. Very comfortable.
I'm happy I selected your company and thank you for providing me with
a quality product.

Hi. I purchased my Ultimate seat two weeks ago and have put on approximately
300 miles. The difference in comfort compared to my stock seat is like
day and night. My Yamaha Roadliner is now complete. I have power and
extreme comfort for short or long trips. I don't understand why the
manufacturers sell the bike with
such plain stock seats. Its like selling a stereo with one speaker.
Thank you Ultimate for a great product.

Hello Dear Ultimate Seat.
My name is Claude Blair,
I ride a 2005 Yamaha Roadstar and the seats that came with the bike where
awful after doing some intensive research, I decided to purchased a 4 piece
set from Ultimate Seat.
Put the seat on in less then 15 minutes and drove 1000 clicks over the
weekend with my girlfriend.
This seat is awesome very comfortable natural seating for both driver and
passenger.
I would recommend this seat to all.
The only thing is the backrest position is a little to close for me (6'2
240 lbs) so I will order the offset bracket that is not on the web site
and also order the rain covers.
Thanks a million for the great work Ultimate.
Yours Truly Claude

I want to thank everyone at Ultimate seats for 1st class sales, service
and product. Your company was great in answering questions on the phone,
at the Leasburg Bike Show when I went to check out your product. The
seats were delivered fast and were a breeze to install. I put the seats
through the hardest break in possible. I rode from GulfPort MS to San
Diego CA a total of 4400 miles in all kinds of climate and traffic
conditions. I rode 675 miles the 1 st day going and 745 miles the 1st
day coming back. I could not have done 500 on stock Road Star seat.
The back rest gives you great support and comfort and the seat is cooler
in desert riding because there is no Plastic Liner. I Love your product
and having Eagle Emblems on both Back Rests got rave reviews each time
I stopped.
Thanks to everyone and best of luck in the future. I will never own another
motorcycle with out your product!!!

If anyone has suffered from "NUMB
BUTT" after a long ride. Please be
assured with these seats you can keep going if you want
after everyone
else has stopped .
My seats and seat backs installed in less than 15 min
. Ride position improved dramatically and the feeling
of being connected with the bike was noticeable on the
first turn out of my driveway .
Quality , Comfort and GREAT LOOKS . The style and stitching
are second
to none .
Safe Riding to ALL

I received my new seat yesterday and installed in last night - IT LOOKS
BEAUTIFUL!!!
I road my Road Star to work today - this is a first!!
The ride was sooooo much better with your seat installed.
I do not understand why the motorcycle manufacturers
do not install your type of seats during initial production.
Thanks
again for making my day!!
Sincerely,
Robert A. Heber

I just received my Ultimate Seats with backrests for my Vstar 1100 and
installed them in about 7 minutes. I am 6’3” and roughly
250 lbs.
After a nice 60 mile round trip, I have to report the seats are excellent
and a huge improvement over stock. The price is well worth the cComfort
gains realized with your seats. I feel like I’m riding on
a lazyboy recliner.

corvette style rearend with hand made fenders to match
the factory fender in the middle. All done in a dark
cherry color.It also has 20" corvette style Wheels

I cannot believe it took me so long to put this seat on my bike. So
far
I
have put a 200 mile run on this seat which I would have never done on any
other seat .I tip my hat to the folks at Ultimate Seats.
You sure have
figured it out .
Thanks

DES: I ORDERED MY SEAT IN JULY IN TIME FOR A 1000 MILE TRIP. IT IS UNDOUDTEDLY
ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS I MADE SINCE I BOUGHT MY VSTAR 4 YEARS
AGO.
THE STOCK SEAT WAS REPLACED WITHIN 30 DAYS BECAUSE IT JUST PLAIN HURT TO
RIDE. I RODE ONE OF THE COMPETIONS SEATS FOR 2 1/2 YEARS UNTIL I JUST COULDN'T
STAND IT ANYMORE. I WAS AT THE POINT THAT IF I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT
THE SEAT I WOULD HAVE QUIT RIDING.
YOUR SEAT SAVED MY RIDING PLEASURE. I CAN NOW RIDE ALL DAY WITH NO DISCOMFORT
AND ONLY NEED TO STOP FOR FUEL FOR ME OR THE BIKE, OR UNTIL MY RIDING COMPANIONS
CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
GREAT SEAT! I RECOMMEND THE ULTIMATE SEAT TO ANYONE WHO WANTS THE VERY
BEST.

Just finished a 300 mile ride with your seats and my wifes toush and mine

the pow logo was a hit with many. A royal star rider with us may be
visiting your site for seats after he got my response, Thank You

Hello , My name is Walt Packala , just back from a extended ride from Washington
D.C. to St petersburg Florida , Both my riding partner & I have
your seats on our Yamaha Stratoliners . We had to make some adjustments
on our bikes during the trip , handlebars & tire pressure . But
the biggest thing we didn't notice was our back sides , extreme heat
or cool & rain nothing but comfort ... Thank You for a Most Excellent
Product . I recommend them to anyone who asks , would I buy it again
? absolutely ! Will I have your seat on another bike ? You bet your
bippy !
Thank You again

Dear Ultimate Seats,
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for making such a fine product.
I recently went on the longest motorcycle trip of my life over the course
of three days. It was the America's 911 Foundation Ride. http://www.americas911foundation.org/
Attached are some pics of the ride that I took myself along with the seats
on my purple roadstar. Many guys were coming up to me and asking me about
them for their Harleys so I bet you get some inquiries. With my stock seats
I was good for a little over 200 miles then the pain was terrible. With
your seats I was good to go for more each day. No arguing with honest results
like that. Whatever you guys do, keep it up!
Start on page 8 and work your way back....

Thanks again,
Billy Lon.

Hi,
I purchased the 4 piece set plus the rain covers and rider backrest bag
for my 2006 Yamaha Stratoliner. It is sooooooo comfortable. I can't say
enough how happy I am with your product. Thank you very much.

I just wanted to thank you for making such a great seat. I have had
four seats on my Roadstar and this one is by far the best. When you
guys sent it to me I put it on and went on a overnight ride (600
miles) and it was like riding on my recliner, I love it.
My wife will be calling you to order the backrest for the passenger (my
birthday present) I want it to match the riders backrest.
I went on a ride last weekend with 100 other bikes and I think you
will
be
getting some calls. Here are some pictures of it on my bike.
Thanks,
Darwin.

I'm sure Sturgis was profitable and I must tell you about your product.
I have a 2007 Stratoliner, live in Calgary, Alberta. Sturgis is exactly
1965kms from Calgary. My girlfriend and I road down in two days. We both
had pretty sour rears the end of the 2nd day. There is no question, saddle
discomfort will effect your performance riding ability and longevity in
the saddle.
Our 3rd morning 8:00 a.m to Sturgis the next day I passed your booth and
in 2 minutes had your seat on. The only complaint I have with my Stratoliner
is the bike is promoted a cruiser-tour, they gave little attention to seat
design and comfort. My girlfriend and I toured Sturgis area and surroundings
over the next few days adapting to your seat.
The true test of your product came two days after departing Sturgis for
home. 675miles in the saddle - 19 hours!!!! Due to the forest fires, etc.
as a result absolutely no hotel vacancy untill I reached my home city limits.
If I had the stock seat, we would never had been able to do the almost
Iron-Butt run, which I have done on my Road Star in the past. My girlfriend
was a little sour, but I was fine which provided me the opportunity to
ride safely and not get fatiqued.
Not only does your product perform, it also enhances the tour image of
the Stratoliner.
Good Job, Great product and thanks for your courteous/knowledgable staff.
I'll be referring Ultimate lots!!!!!!

My stock seat used to give me accelerating numb butt. What I mean is
that on a long day of riding, at the beginning of the day it would
take two hours of riding for my butt to get numb. After refueling and
getting blood back into my butt it would only take an hour, then it
would only take 30 minutes, then 15 and by the end of the day, just
looking at my seat made my butt numb.
Now that I have the ultimate seat this no longer happens.
What a relief.
The first day I had it, I took it out and
rode one tankfull... about 150 miles, and no numb
butt. But
that test ride was too short, so last weekend I took
it out for a ride around Washington state, with junkets
into north eastern Oregon and south western Idaho.
I rode all day Friday , Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Covered about 1200 miles... mostly high speed twisties
listed in the Destination Highways books and NO Numb
Butt. Not even a twitch.
This truly is the ultimate seat
and to top it off, it is at an ultimate price.
This seat is great. No other
way to describe it. And it looks good. Its worth
the money. Its worth more
money than they charge you for it (but don't raise
the price or change the seat). Buy one, and while
you are at it, get one for your old lady; she'll
love you for it. (girl friend, wife... I have no
idea what the PC term is... )
Next is an Iron Butt ride.
I know I couldn't have done it on my stock seat,
but I'm confident that I
can
do 1000 miles in 24 hours with the Ultimate seat.
In fact, I think I can do more. What a relief.

I received my new Ultimate seat today, and had the stock seat on and this
new seat in place within 15 minutes, and took it for a ride...........
What a difference! Instead of sliding towards the tank, I sat nice and
low, "IN" the seat just as your advertisement said I would, with
no forward sliding at all. Unlike the Mustang seats which I had used before,
I didn't feel pushed towards the tank at all either. What a joy to ride
comfortably! With a little adjusting at the stop lights, I found the perfect
position for the back rest, and all I can add is that I will never, ever
ride another bike of mine without an Ultimate on it. PERIOD.

I received my seat set today and I would just like to thank you for a
wonderful job. It took only minutes to install them and they are just
what I ordered. A quick adjustment of the drivers backrest and I was
off and running. The short trip I made with them just proved to me
the money was well spent. I now don't have to strech to reach my bars
and highway pegs and feel I am in the bike rather than on it. I also
feel more in control of the bike over the way it felt before. You really
make an awesome seat set. Thanks again here is a site with pictures
of the seats on the bike. Fell free to use any of them if you wish.
Sincerly;

Des,
Still can't believe how comfortable these seats are. Have one on a VStar
and I don't realize I'm even sitting on one. Made a 300 mile trip and had
no discomfort at all. Really a wonderful seat. Thanks again for a wonderful
product.

I need to write this to tell you how much I love my new Ultimate seat.
I am 5'8" and weigh about 165# and I do not have much cushion in the
buns area.
I have a 2006 Yamaha Stratoliner S. It is all silver and you may remember
me from Lake George Americade. After installing my new seat we left my
bike sitting in front of your tent for everyone to see.
I have a son in the Army in Ft. Rucker, Alabama. He came home for leave
and for the return trip he trailered my bike and I drove back with him
to Alabama from Ticonderoga, NY.
Upon arriving at Ft. Rucker we unloaded my bike and I drove it 200miles
to Fort Walton Beach, Fla. to visit some friends.
July 5th I started my 2000 mile trek home. The first day I rode for 11
hours on my new seat. I went from Fort Walton Beach, Fla. and drove the
entire panhandle coastline over to Tallahassee and continued across into
Jacksonville. From Jacksonville headed north and continued into Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina. I spent the night in Myrtle Beach. Amazingly, after
riding for 11+ hours, I had absolutely NO DISCOMFORT. My butt did not ache
of ever get numb.
July 6th I rode from Myrtle Beach all the way up into Ocean City, Maryland.
Again, another 11+ hour day and again....another day with no discomfort.
July 7th I got a late start and traveled from Ocean City into Rhinebeck,
NY where I spent the nite visiting friends I have there. This was an 8
hour day and the same results. Nothing but comfort.
July 8th I returned home traveling the last 3 1/2 hours north from Rhinebeck
and I must tell everyone that I had the best ride ever. After this 2000
mile trek from Alabama to Florida and back north to NY it was a heavenly
ride. I have never had a seat that was so comfortable that I did not have
at least some saddle-ache. The driver back rest hugged the small of my
back while the saddle embraced my buns like they were being held in the
palms of angels. I know some of you skeptics out there are thinking "This
guy is crazy" , or that I must be exaggerating greatly the levels
of comfort that I am explaining. I swear I am not either. Ok...maybe a
little crazy for making this trek by myself....but not crazy for my explanations
of comfort.
I had many comments from other bikers and enthusiasts of how great my bike
looked or how nice the seat felt. I raved about this seat to everyone that
wanted to listen and gave out your web address to many bikers who sat on
this seat and said they had to have one of their own. We never exchanged
names or contact info I just told them to get online and get this seat.
I hope it turns into some business for you. I couldn't thank you enough
for saving my buns and back and giving me the ride I have always craved.
Thanks again...
Steve P. from Ticonderoga, NY

This is the best seat ever! I went on a 400 mile ride before I got this,
and now I wish I could turn back time..

Des,
I got my seat yesterday and noticed a big difference within a mile. I have
back problems and when I would get off my stock seat I was nearly doubled
up from pain. With this new seat for my V Star 1100 I was amazed by the
comfort I experienced. I look forward to having a long ride. Everyone was
amazed at how nice the seat looked. Most thought it was leather. I have
been giving your address to different people because they want one. I have
noticed that the vibration from the engine is no longer felt through the
seat. What a seat. Couldn't be happier.

I couldn't be happier that I bought your seats. I don't have back problems,
but I don't like to get saddle butt after a long ride. I was apprehensive
about shelling out that much money for a product I'd never even seen
or sat in. But I really am impressed! Everyone says it, but it's true,
you do sit "in" not "on" these seats. I'm a shorter
rider, which can make it tough to feel in control of my bike. With
these seats I feel like I'm in total command! I'm comfortable on a
long ride, in control the entire time and smiling the whole way. That's
why I bought my bike in the first place. Thanks for making my road
experiences even better!

I have to tell you I was very surprised.
I have lower three vertebra fused with steel rods. Add to that two years
ago I broke my tail bone in two places...I had taken my stock seat on my
Road Star and added 1" of gel and 1" of memory foam..Still no
help. I received your seat on Friday and since then I have put 700 miles
on it...I could never have done this with my fabricated seat....What a
great product!
Thank you...It feels like a different bike!

Dear Des.
Last year I purchased a new 2006 Roadstar Midnight Silverado. I am a disabled
veteran with severe stomach injuries. Needless to say the stock seats are extremely
painful, a upholstery shop modified the seats for me, didn't help much. I purchased
a gel seat, that didn't work at all. A Mustang and a Corbin seat failed as well.
So after desperately searching the internet I found the ultimate star seats.
I now have several hundreds of miles on this seat, I can honestly say I never
felt
this comfortable before on a bike. The seat actually works.
Thank you.

Just wanted to comment on the Ultimate Seats i purchased for my Yamaha
Stratoliner recently.The two-tone seats that came with the bike looked
great, but they didn't solve the numb behind my wife and i got whenever
we put on a few miles. Being a bit skeptical at first, i purchased
the 3-pc.set for the bike.Since receiving and installing these seats,
i
have been truly impressed with the looks, the fit, and especially
the comfort of this seat. Your seat has taken comfort to a level that
makes longer trips enjoyable again !!
Thanks for a great product.

Picked up my seat at your shop on Saturday March 17. Installed in 10
minutes. Got to ride on it for the first time on Friday. Just
a note to let you know how pleased I am with this seat. I feel like
I am anchored to the bike. Mush
more comfortable than stock.
I would recommend your products to anyone!!

Hey there,
Just wanted to report that your seats are the ultimate!
I installed the new rider and passenger seats on my
2003 Yamaha Roadstar in just a few minutes. And that
is saying something as I am about as mechanically minded
as your average tree stump.
The first weekend I had
the seats on I rode just over 900 miles and what a
relief from that stiff stock saddle!
My butt truly felt like it was in heaven!
Thanks for
a great product!

Howdy and greetings from Huntsville, Texas. I received my Ultimate Seat
with driver’s backrest this week. I installed these on my 2007
Yamaha 1100 Silverado Classic and truthfully, the seat is exactly as
the advertisements state. Having a comfortable seat has been amazingly
perplexing for me. I tried a competing product for a few months, and
though better than the Yamaha seat, I still had a lot of discomfort.
This
has really been puzzling to me. I mean, why are motorcycle seats uncomfortable?
I think it is because
one cannot easily move about, adjusting position during
a ride. My Ultimate Seat reminds me of my office chair
and it doesn't’t grab the seat cloth as other motorcycle
seats appear to. It is easy to move about as one naturally
needs to shift position.
Installation was quick and
simple. After adjusting the angle of the backrest,
all was great. Immediately,
I found myself in a more natural position on my motorcycle,
my wrists were no longer strained since I was leaning
back a bit further, and my legs were no longer bunched
up (I’m a big guy). Indeed, I had ordered foot
controller extensions so I could stretch my legs a
bit more and I really don’t need them---I should
have waited!
Definitely a quality product with immediate
comfort. Admittedly, this was an expensive investment,
but comfort
and quality are important for me. I appreciate this
product.

Des,
I've received my Ultimate seats for
my Roadliner and I am so happy I don't know how to
thank you enough
for making such a quality product. Being in Australia
and ordering these from you in Canada was a bit of
a leap of faith for me but they arrived
without problem and in perfect condition. If you ever
have any customers in Sydney, Australia that want to
see your seats before ordering please
feel free to give them my email address (christian@kraushaus.com)
and I'd be more than happy to show off your top quality
product.
I'd be interested to see any pictures of the Harley
ones you are doing as I have a few friends that are
very interested and love the comfort of my seat.
Chris.

Des,
I recently ordered a set of seats for my Stratoliner about a month ago.
I must say, everyone else could take a lesson or two from Ultimate on how
to design a seat. I was hesitant at first, but actually sitting on the
seat for three hours was all I needed. Our ride took the wife and I from
Crestview, Florida to Biloxi, Mississippi, about three hours. To my amazement,
when we got there I could still walk without pain. The four piece seat
is an absolute must have. The drivers backrest was a fantastic addition.
It resolved back pain which Mustang failed to do. The wife and I both loved
the additional padding which Ultimate utilizes in the construction of the
seats. Overall, the seats are fantastic and definitely put the comfort
back into riding. On a performance note, you do actually sit in the seat
versus on top. Overall, a fantastic product. Thanks!

Des,
The ride last weekend up to the Blue Ridge Parkway
in North Carolina was everything we could have asked
for, lots of color on the trees, lots of friends to
share the ride with and a WONDERFUL SADDLE on the bike.
The Ultimate Seat fits me, my wife and the Royal Star
Tour Deluxe very well. We were on the ride from 7:45
A.M. until 6:10 P.M. and not a saddle sore was to be
found. It is a definite keeper. You guys really did
a good job!
Feel free to use this as a testimonial and
me as a reference if people have questions.
Thanks,

I bought my Royalstar TD seat
from you at the Daytona BiketoberFest last weekend.
My butt was quite sore from my ride from St. Pete FL
all the way to Daytona. On my way home my butt was
still sore when I sat on the Ultimate for the first
time. The ride home was hot (temperature was 91) and
I also got stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic 4 times
for an additional hour or more in the saddle. I decided
to ride to work on Tuesday of this week and made an
additional side-trip that added another 70 miles or
so on my ride home (200+ miles round-trip).
All
I can say is "my butt is smiling now!" Had
I known, I would have gotten an Ultimate Seat 2 years
ago. Two weeks ago at Sebring I had a "buttbuffer" installed
into my stock seat and it was a total waste of money.
Thanks
for making my butt "smile" - I can't
wait to take the long rides I have been longing to
take but knew I couldn't handle because of the discomfort.

Your instructions indicate
that I should ride 100 miles to find out
how it feels. it is fantastic right out of the box.
Why wait for 100
miles ?
Thanks for a great product.

Des,
I have received the seats and installed them on my
Yamaha XV 1600
Wildstar, everything fits great and I love the seat.
I am 6 Ft 4 and
always had back problems. With the new seat plus backrest
my back
problems are history.
It took UPS 5 days to deliver the seats to me in Holland.
Thanks again for the great service and fantastic seats,
I can
recommend them to anyone who owns a Wildstar (or roadstar).
Best regards,
Jaap Riemens

Got my RoadStar Ultimate seat
months ago and the difference is amazing - I can ride
all day and never notice any discomfort - would not
have believed it if I hadn't bought it.
Thanks for helping me enjoy my ride.

Hi Bridget,
I would just like to thank you so much for all the
assistance you have given me in getting the correct
Rain Covers for my seats for my 2006 Royal Star. I
received the passenger seat cover on Tuesday and it
fits beautifully. In addition I would like to add that
in my 30+ years of riding a motorcycle, I have never
had a seat as comfortable as the Ultimate Seat, and
as a consequence I tell everyone I meet that rides
about the quality of this product. Rest assure you
have a very satisfied customer here, who will praise
your seats wherever I go and refer them to your website,
or encourage them to drop by your factory.
Again Thank
You so much.

Des,
Wanted to thank you for the seat for my Roadstar. You got the seat built
and shipped even earlier than promised so I got it a day earlier than
expected. I am VERY impressed with both the quality and the looks. It
fit and locked in even easier than the stocker. The embroidery I asked
for is excellent. The comfort is outstanding compared to the stock seat.
I took a 150 mi ride as soon as I got it and while it took a bit to get
used to the change in seating posture, I soon settled in and enjoyed
it immensely. No more tailbone numbness. Looking forward to a ride up
to Yellowstone later this month on my Ultimate. I'm visiting a friend
in Houston in October who also rides a Roadstar and I'm taking the seat
so he can try it out. I'm quite sure he'll become a customer before long!
Thanks and best regards,

Hi Des,
I have to tell you how much I like my seats! You said somewhere to ride
for 300 miles before you really can feel the difference. I now have 4000
miles already this year on these seats and they are amazing. The right
compromise between firmness and comfort for my 245lb frame. My last trip
was 420 mountain miles in one day and my butt and back were both not
tired while my buddies were very sore.
One thing that surprised me right away was the difference in control
over the bike. On the stock seat I slid around and was riding on the
seat herding the bike around. With your seats, I sit IN the seat and
gain a large measure of control. It is hard to explain, but it seems
like I can just twitch my butt and the bike follows!
Best thing I have done for my bike !
Thanks,
Roy Grimm

Brandon,
Got the seats thats for the express shipping. The
seat was worth the wait, did 600 miles in two day with
no butt aches. Had to cut the
trip short had some transmission issues, but your seats held up strong!!!

Dear Des:
I wanted to let you know how very pleased I am with the Ultimate Seat
you sent me for my Road Star. The moment I sat down on it, I realized
how uncomfortable I have been for the last few years riding on a Corbin
seat. I confirmed how comfortable the Ultimate seat was a few days later,
by taking a 160 mile detour to work. I was so comfortable the whole time
that I did the same trip the very next morning, because it was now so
enjoyable to ride my motorcycle.
Before ordering the seat, I was a little concerned that it would be ugly,
and I would sacrifice looks for comfort. I was pleasantly surprised that
the seat turned out to be very attractive, and really compliments the
lines of my bike.
Your Ultimate seat has transformed my Road Star into a much more enjoyable
motorcycle. My only regret is that I did not buy one sooner.
Sincerely,
Mark Richards

Des, Brandon,
Seats came in last Monday but I was in Baton Rouge LA for the Cushman
Scooter National Meet. Got back Fri. and put the seats on for a Sat.
morning ride. I admit I was skeptical as they didn't feel much
different from the stock roadie seats. 15 riders left 8:00 AM and 290
miles later I was still wanting to keep riding. We only stopped for
food and water and
I
could actually sit in the wood seat chairs, without pain, where we ate
good
old Cajun food. One of the other riders had your seat on a V Star and
she told me it was the best thing she had added to her bike. Until
now I was almost ready get rid of my roadie. I think I'll keep her
now. Whatever
the Ultimate seat secret is I am a believer.
Thanks,
Rick Wilson

Des,
I put about 130 miles on my V-Star 1100 yesterday without any discomfort
at all. The rider backrest is a revelation and the rider seat itself
is amazing. My spouse loves the passenger seat and we can’t wait
to take a rider together this weekend. The nature of my motorcycle has
been changed. It has become a traveling machine.
I got the seats late Tuesday afternoon. It was very
rainy. First thing Wednesday morning I installed them.
It took less than half an hour. I changed out the hardware
on the passenger seat pan due to the recent recall.
The quality of the new Ultimate Seats is absolutely
first rate. I am very pleased.
Your pre-order process that allows choices to be made
and changed is a smart one. It allowed my selection
of just the right set of options for my seats. Everyone
who has seen my seats have really been very impressed
by them. Several have asked to sit in the rider saddle
and some as resisted getting off the bike when asked.
And
to top it all off, you folks have been great to work
with. You’ve been responsive to any questions
I’ve had and I really appreciate that. I’ll
be shipping my original seats back to you today via
UPS today. The original hardware has been installed
back onto the passenger seat that I am returning to
you. Thanks again for everything.

I had purchased
one of your seats for my 00 RoadStar and it was the
most comfortable seat I ever had.
I now have a Yamaha 05 Royal Star Tour Deluxe.
I saw that you will be at the Star Day at St. Joseph, Mo.
It would be great if you would be able to develope a seat for the new bike.
I know that there are a lot of Star riders out there with 05 RSTD looking for
a more comfortable seat than the standard one.
Thanks
Jack

Des,
The seat did make it on the 2nd of July. I put it on my Midnight Star
and headed out immediately. I owned a mustang and corbin before but,
yours is undoubtedly the most comfortable seat I have ever sat in.
IN being the descriptive. It looks great with an outstanding fit
and finish on all three pieces of the set. It was well worth the
money and I will recommend it to all those I ride with.
Thanks, Bob (Las Vegas, NV) !
