Good as it Gets

My original 2007 seat just wore out after 104,000 miles of riding. A 50 mile ride to work and my rear end was sore. So I spent like 2 months reachering what everyone out there thought was the best seat. There are lots of opinions out there so finally I rolled the dice. Our 1st ride to the Pacific Coast hwy was the test. Day one my wife and I rode 1042 miles. Last year we went to Key West. My mom passed away while we were in the keys and had to get back to MN. We rode 1427 miles on the second day to get home. Could not have done this on my old wing seat. Here the skinny, the seat is well made. I have the heated version and this blows away the OEM heated seat. I ride in very cold mornings here in MN and that matters. The driver back rest is awesome and removes so easy. Now it comes with rain covers and I drag them along and use them when I can. In my opinion, if you get caught in heavy rain and didn't find a place in time to put the covers on, not big deal. Your body covers most of the seat anyways. We have ridden through two torrential rainfalls and everything is ok. If I leave the bike parked out side with a good chance of rain. the covers are on. I think thats what they are really for. Now for my passenger review. My wife has metal hardware in her spine and she can get fussy if the back rest isn't to her liking. Well the OEM back rest is cupped in where the center of her back rests. The Ultimate back rest is not so I put the OEM rest back on for her. I believe the average passenger will like the Ultimate back rest and with the Goldwing stiching in it is so pretty. |

Black with Croc inlays
| I just replace my 10 year old Road Sofa with a Midrider with back rest. WOW. What a ride! My Wife loves the extra couple of inches and she now sit up straight. They are a lot of money and I did have trouble justifying the expense. I have to say this seat was worth every penny. We are at that age now when my thoughts are leaning more to my wife's comfort in order to keep her riding. This is just one more nice improvement for her comfort and mine. Oh and be ready for the always interested people when they see it. I love the attention at rest areas and restaurants on our rides. We meet a lot of nice people this way. |

The stock seat on my 01 1800 was getting a little long in the tooth. The foam had broken down and it felt as though I was sitting on the frame rails. I had been looking for an aftermarket seat but I could not decide which manufacturer had the best product. I began hanging out in parking lots that were frequented by other Goldwing owners and had a chance to sit on a number of aftermarket seats. After sit sampling a few seats I decided that the Ultimate Midrider was for me. Luck was with me and Ultimate had a Black Friday sale. They had a seat that I liked at a really good price and I bought it. This seat is one of the best mods that I have done to my wing. Too bad I had to wait so long before I replaced the poor stocker. I have no idea how long this seat will last but I will not hesitate to buy another when it goes bye bye. |

It's the Ultimate
| The OEM seat works fine for me. But I bought the midrider with full ostrich panels because it is supposed to be better. It is and is much more comfortable. For me $1500 for a aftermarket seat is nothing because I have millions. Anything that might be better than the next product I want. I get only the best of everything. If you want the best get this seat. |

Butt Heaven
| I purchased the Midrider, including rider & passenger backrests with white ostrich accents. It really is a great accent on the metallic black '07. The comfort level of this seat is so far superior to the OEM seat that you can't even compare the two. The Ultimate rider backrest, however, is another story. I returned the pad, kept the hardware and used it on my Utopia. Works very well, but the appearance suffers slightly. I also must say that customer support from Ultimate has been first rate. There was an issue with the seat cover not adhering to the foam and they replaced the foam and fixed the problem within 10 days of calling them. Great seat - Better service. |

| First I want to say I was extremely uncomfortable in the stock Honda seat. I bought the Ultimate seat through Ultimate because I wanted the color accents and heater option. The seat looks great on the bike. I get lots of complements. Ultimate was a great company to work with, they gave me the rain cover for free. They also told me I could not return it within the 15 day return policy because I ordered the accents. They only take returns on the all black seat. I had researched these seats and everyone I talked to loved their seat. I also sat on one myself before I purchased. I bought the seat about 8 months ago but waited until I took my 10,000 mile trip across the country and back to write my review on this seat. I am sorry to say I can only go about 2.5 to 3 hours before I have to get off the seat and walk around, my butt really starts to hurt. I also own a Harley and I can go 5 to 6 hours on that seat (The Sundowner) without any pain what so ever. My wife loves the Ultimate passenger seat especially the backrest. It is angled better than the stock seat. The heating elements on the this seat are superior to the stock heating elements you do get nice and warm especially for the passenger's backrest. I know this is a staff pick and I talked to two of the Wingstuff staff that have the Ultimate seat before I bought mine, but I can not recommend this seat. I am giving it only 2 stars because I spent $1400 and it is not worth that kind of money, but since my wife is happier I will get a foam or gel pad for my butt. |

| Great seat. Hi quality and workmanship. I've had it for about a year now. However, I can't ride on it all day and should've gone with the King seat. After a few hours the front of the seat creates pain at the top of my inseam on both legs. I'm 5'10 and 200lbs. Ultimate Seat won't provide any type of prorated exchange of the seat so I have to put it on eBay in order to sell it and get a King. Make sure that you go on a long ride within the 15 days in order to take advantage of any exchange or return. Ultimate Seats won't work with you at all after that. |

| Order through Ultimate seats with some custom accents. Installed and they look awesome. I had these on my old bike and loved them. Many thousands of miles of enjoyment. When I upgraded to the goldwing, tnis was on the top of my wish list. Really exited to put many more miles on these. |

I have an Ultimate seat on my bike. You can it in my profile pictures. I love the seat and I think the style adds a ton to the look of my bike. I only rated it 3 stars because: 1. The company does not return calls. I called them with a question and the lady said she would have the owner call me back. He didn't. 2. I would like for my passenger armrests to match my seat. I called and emailed the Florida shop to find out that they will not recover new armrest that I might buy and they will not make a matching cover for any brand I might purchase so I can put them on the armrests. I am Unhappy about this. Don't you want your passenger armrests to match your seat? Great Seat, comfortable ride sorry customer service. |

I bought the seat and rider backrest with lowrider passenger backrest. I love the look and it is very comfortable. I am leaving in three weeks for a four thousand mile trip. I'll have a better review when I return. The people are super. I rode in on Saturday morning when no service personnel were working. The lady from whom I purchased the seat called a technician to come in and install. Thirty minutes from the time I arrived, I rode out with a happy butt. |

| I bought direct from Ultimate Seats long before WS began to offer them. Very nice seat - love the pan. Long rides are now enjoyable, and I no longer feel the "pain." Under the cover of the seat there is no plastic over the foam. The Ultimate site recommends the rain covers in case it rains (moisture can seep through the stitching and into the foam). Get the seat covers in case you leave your bike out or ride in the rain. Obviously very expensive. Would I buy them again? Yes. Yes again. You will have to decide for yourself if you can afford them . . . |
