I ordered a Baldwin a month ago and its supposed to be built on the 28th. Looks like he`s ahead of schedule and its being built the 23rd. Should have it by next weekend!  |

The only issue that I have with customs is that most of them are shorter than the Uly tall seat. I bought the tall seat because it is taller, if/when I do another seat, I want it to be taller than the one I have. |

Most of these guys will build one pretty much however you want. If you want a DAMN tall Uly seat, I'm sure they'd build it.  |

I don't think Russell's tend to be shorter. Quite the opposite actually. |

I've had no problems doing 900 mile days on the stock 09 XT seat in the past. I'm 156# with a 30" inseam & 65 years old.
I have noticed that lately the seat itself seems to be collapsing down a bit around the front edges. Did about 300 miles yesterday and it started to bother me a bit for the first time. Was wondering if the 06-07 seats fit the 09 XT???? Would guess that they should be interchangeable from 06 on, regardless if it's an X or an XT. |

I have an 07 low seat on my uly and it fits fine. I pretty sure they're all the same 06-10 X or XT |

Got my seat this morning and took it around the block. Bucket was moved 2`` forward and shaped different than the original. 1st impression on the test ride. Fits me much better and I can now stop flat footed at a stop.I got the gel insert and the firmness of seat very similar to a dirt bike seat but with less pressure points.Taking it to work the rest of the week which will add 150 miles to my impression. l8r bb |

Itileman...all this talk about butts has you thinking about yours! At 225 in my birthday suit I think the stock seats are just too narrow. I ordered a used Mayer floating around the Classifieds and should be here today. They make em wider to carry more weight spread out a little. We shall see. Euly |

Well I`m happy to say the seat was not a mistake. After commuting to work a week and a half plus this weekends cruise in Wis. this bike is the nicest most comfy bike I`ve ever owned. 6 hr days are very easy to do. They weren`t bad before but this makes a good bike great for me. Still got some more to farkle but the ergos are dialed in for me.l8r bb |

Yamafreak, I bought a Saddleman gel pad for my Sportster and I was not happy with it. To begin with it's very squishy and sits you up another inch. Also it's not really a big improvement in comfort. One last thing I'd like to point out is that if you leave it in the sun very long you'd better have a asbestos liner in your riding pants cuz you're gonna need it. The pad absorbs heat from the sun and it doesn't take long. I still have it and if you want to try it on your Uly, I'll send it to you if you pay postage. Send me a pm if you take me up on the offer. |
