Hi. Anyone got a hammock seat and have an opinion on it. I now have osteoarthritis and riding has become a bit of a chore. I am getting the loan one from Harley Heaven to try. Sat on one on a guys bike the other day and seemed good. Would be interested to get an opinion from someone who has a few kilometres on one. Cheers   I have a 21 Heritage Classic. 

I was having trouble on long rides with the other half getting uncomfortable. We tried the rental seat for a weekend and she gave it the tick. It was also better on a long run for me as a bonus. So we bought a real one. Don't get me wrong it's a good seat, but the rental seat must have been a bit flogged out. Our new seat is like 25mm higher than the renter. Bear that in mind if your inside leg is a bit short. Seat is fine, but the extra height alters low speed manoeuvrability and screen protection. 

Thanks mate. I was told by HH you had one and I tried to call you. The height is a factor because I am short. I currently have a solo sundowner seat so I was wondering if that’s a bit higher than standard. I’m ok with the Sundowner but would like a bit more comfort with my now crappy back. Thanks for the reply. I’ll try calling you again. I’m in the Barossa. Cheers 

Sundowner usually moves you up and forward a little compared to stock, at least that was my experience with my Dyna, you might be ok?

I have a 2018 heritage and a hammock seat - but I love my back rest ! 

with the 4 different Harley's I've owned none of the std seats were comfortable, I've used aftermarket HD (some were ok but I didn't like the look of them) also tried the Saddlemen Step-up (pushed me too far forward) in the end I've settled on a Lepera Kick-flip seat and my ass love's it-  https://lepera.com/v4_Deluxe_Heritage_result.php

It's great to find a seat you like, I have few seats for my slim, every one of them except the stock one get a run from time to time depending on the circumstances, I sometimes think it's overkill but when I go to get rid of any a little voice says nar, you will regret it.

Could you please post a pic of you heritage with the hammock seat. Cheers 

Apologies daffy , was away for a bit - can take a better one if needed 

This was from when it was new 

Thanks mate. You still happy with it. I have a loan seat from Harley heaven. Haven’t had. Chance to go for a decent ride. Maybe tomorrow. Cheers 

Yes , it is ( or should say ) very comfortable for me .

Went for a 100k ride yesterday. Not that far I know. Enough to convince me. Ordering one today. That loaner seat programme is great. Cheers 

The seat on my bike can give you a sore arse cos it doesn't have a lot of padding. I can't be bothered going to the trouble and expense of a new seat so I thought I might try one of these.

Have an AirHawk,  about 20 years now. Only used couple times, as my Sundowner is good.  But always take away on long trips, just incase.

Took the bike for a short run yesterday arvo after work and my first impression is that it is better with the cheap seat cover thing than without.  I didn't notice any difference in the riding position even though I must be sitting an inch or so higher. 

Got the new hammock seat. Went for a 300 k ride the other day and loving it. Very comfortable and no backrest was ok. I now have the single sundowner seat for sale for $250. That’s half new price. Seat is a1. If anyone is interested shoot me a pm and I will send pics. Cheers. 

I’ve done 70K with the Hammock on my old ‘18. Missus loved the pillion. Riders seat is good because its width lets you lever the bike into turns. I’m 6’ 90kg, Missus is 5’8” 60kg. I rate it. 

OLD 2018 Thats a new bike man . i consider my 01 new but im old school . and preferer the carb bikes ,
