thank you , I'm putting my vtx 1800r back up to road worthiness and my back has been dreaming about this seat since 2008 . as for that adjusting bolt set it to where you like it , then put a nut in all the way , cut off the excess and back off the nut to clean the threads up.

You can definitely see the different in your seat position with the new seat. Besides - the new seat looks sleek and comfy even if it needs to be broken in a little. Thanks for sharing the experience. Oh - I think the little girl with the bike on training wheels was taunting you - haha!!!!

Have the same seat on my Valkyrie, 5 years old and would never change it for any other. 20thousand miles on it's and it's still like new.

Indian does make an extended reach seat. Its sets you back 2 inches further and an inch higher. It is also wider and has more back support. Its heated as well. It's on their website under accessories/seats... It makes a big difference! Have one ordered for my Springfield. Only 500.oo with my original seat trade in.

Nice video. The Roadmaster seat even looks better. I hope to see an update and see if this solved your problem. The lack of rider comfort for bigger people is what has kept me away from Indian.

Very informative video, thanks for posting it!

So any updates on the seat? How do you like it.

I can't wait to see the video after you have had the seat for a few weeks. I'm looking to replace my seat and I'm in between mustang, ultimate and Corbin.

I love the seat will be looking into one for my 16 chieftain. But I'm really interested in the trunk options to make it more like a roadmaster. That 3500 price tag is ridiculous

I ordered an Ultimate seat for my Indian. Thanks for the review. Not calling you out, but when I see people getting on a motorcycle on that side, I assume they are new to riding. No one should get on that way. Cheers.

How easy does the quick release passenger backrest and rack come on and off? On the Ultimate website it states the Roadmaster passenger seat will not fit with the quick release passenger backrest. How does your wife like the new passenger seat?

Everything you addressed is the same issues on my 2016 Roadmaster. I'm 6 foot and not enough leg room. My Crossroads was much better for leg room. Great demo. Is there a follow-up?

Interesting, I did a review of my ultimate seat. On my v star it pushes me forward.

Hi, first of all what a great and informative video! thank you so much for taking the time to do this excellent review. Do you think this seat would fit on a Chief Vintage? My guess is that it would, based on the fact that the Chieftain and the Vintage are seem to be very similar.

Good video! FYI Indian backrest is smaller & rectangular (2018). I too felt very crowded, forward, on a Chieftain & not so on the Roadmaster. I bought the RM. I too came off a Vic. Ultimate says you sit in their seat instead of on it. Do you agree?

Hey where did you get the kuryakyn back rest ? If you have a link thanks

Really great video, i,m in Australia just got my RM ELITE, moved up from the 2014 Vintage, 2 weeks ago when i got it i had the Indian extended seat put on, after sitting on a friends one, unbelievable comfortable, back 2 inches and extra cushioning, but unfortunately unbeknown to me it also went up 2 inches.. and i,m 6ft and it was a struggle to Baltimore the bike and touch the ground.. so this video was very interesting for me.. so checking with you how is it going now, ? And didmit raise the height? Cheers

from a scale from 1 to 10 how hard is to put on sissybar with luggage rack and remove cause i do that quit often i can see its against the bar but have no problem with that.

Maybe I miss this point in your video, but If I purchased the same seat from Ultimate Seats as you did, would I still have to purchase the driver's seat frame that goes under the driver's seat? I know that would probably be a question for Ultimate, but your video is super informative. I thank you in advance for your answer.

So was there any problem getting the Indian sissy bar [ back rest] and luggage rack on with this seat ?

did you like it?

Do you still have the stick seat?. Want to sell it?

my stock back rest has a straight shaft not bent like yours mine came from Indian

Thx for your video just got my '17 RM, love it! 2?'s Do you still like the ultimate after you broke it in? I had one on my '14 Stratoliner, but it was too firm, though I probably did not give it enough time to break in properly. 2nd ?, what is your garage brand name called? Where and how much? I need one for my work place. I get tired of covering and uncovering, plus the antenna has to be carefully fed under my cover. Thx. We also RV! only have a 33 ft pull behind but going to change to a toy hauler soon. Better half has a Suzuki 1 cylinder 650 thumper she learned on, Had but sold her nice Suzuki 800.

How much? Can be red wine?

Since that's a RM seat, is it heated? I have a '14 Chieftain and was just curious,

I don't know much about motorcycles. But that one looks nicer and more comfortable. For $900 it should! LOL

I'm thinking about taking the same route as you by replacing the stock seat of my '17 Chieftain Limited with an Ultimate seat. I noticed in your video that you put the Roadmaster Ultimate seat on your bike, but I have some questions about the passenger seat you added. On the Ultimate website it said that there are two types of passenger seats available as one will not work with the sissy bar (which I have installed as well). Did you go with the option that "won't fit" which appears to be wider, or did you order the "longer and little bit wider" option which is meant for the Chieftain. If you did go with the full Roadmaster setup, how difficult was it to mount the sissy bar once the seat was installed, and second, did it damage the passenger seat aftre repeated use as the manufacturer said?

What motorcycle garage are you using?

does the seat have heat ? can you get it with heat for the Roadmaster?

Spend that much money you think they would have gave you free shipping.

For the crazy money they want for these bikes you should not have to buy a seat ridiculous greed.
