Hi there. Nice looking seat. Did you have any issue with the new seat moving you back further away from the handlebars? My new 2020 arrives tomorrow. My friend has an '18 and told me I'll definitely want a new seat, so I'm scouting and saw your post. He put a different b rand on his and it caused him to push back, such that he had to add setbacks where his handlebars mount. Thanks.

Thanks, welcome, and congrats on your new Wing Steve!

As Traveling Man posted, the mid-rider is same position as stock, the Corbin I've heard moves you back but I've never sat on one so can't speak to it.

Yes we are still loving the Ultimate Seat.

Excellent. Thanks! It is the Corbin that my friend has. Gorgeous seat and he loves it. But in his case he did need to make the add'l handlebar adjustment to make it work. Thanks for the info on the seat.

This is my 3rd Ultimate. Previous 2 were on Indians. One on the Wing just as comfy as those.

I did the full Monty, including their passenger backrest as well as the rider backrest All with OEM heat controls. Very expensive, but so far worth it. I’ve put about 500 miles or so on it and it gets better every time i do a long ride. Had the wingsoft recover and that was an improvement, but not enough for me. Ultimate makes a quality product and it shows. And the seat covers they provide i would only use if forced to ride in the rain all day. As someone said, a none issue.

Thanks. very helpful. Took delivery of my new '20 yesterday. Put 100 miles on it in my maiden ride. Loved the bike. But yep, especially by the second half, the seat has to go! I read one post that he didn't like the rider backrest and went with Utopia, which I've heard great things about. But yours looks great. And all I've ever cared about with prior backrests is the ability to easily (and ideally while rolling) scooch the backrest forward or back a bit, so it hits in the small of the back where you want it (which sometimes changes and you like to shift a bit on long rides). Does yours / the Ultimate adjust pretty well in order to sit where you like it? Thx.

That seat looks great. Apparently, these Ultimate guys have learned how to make a Wing seat, cause the one I got for my 2002 was the lousiest seat...it felt apart in a short period of time. But the one you got looks 'marverlous"

Mine hits me right in the small of my back, so works pretty well for me.

There is an adjustment screw to move the rest forward and back. The rest also tips forward so you can sling your leg over the seat. I keep forgetting to tip it forward when I dismount which causes me to catch my foot and do the fat man dance. Of course, this only happens when people are present.

Hi
What store did you order the Ultimate seat from ? I called the Florida store they were out of stock , then I called the Toronto factory , they have been shut down , it should about 30 days before they are up running again
So my question did you purchase your seat from a Canadian distributor ? the seat is a lot cheaper in Canadian dollars vs US dollars , just wondering
I look forward To you comment
Thanks
