ULTIMATE!!
I bought the ultimate big boy and passenger seat for myself during the X-Mas sale at HDL last year. WOW what a difference. Both for me and the wife. She used to get antsy after 30 minutes, and i could barely last to the next fill-up.
This summer I did an IBA 1000 mile, and my butt had NO issues. As a matter of fact, i was up the next day riding, my buddy wasn't...but then he doesn't have an Ultimate.

I bought my Ultimate from HDL at the Thanksgiving sale and love it also. I got the Ultimate Big Boy 3 piece with Drivers back rest. Man what a difference that makes. I got it for $630 because it was on sale, regular $700 w/shipping free. Can't go wrong with it. Real easy to install, 5 bolts is all. I'm riding to the Dragon in May on it.

I've been riding my 1800C with the standard seat for about 3 weeks now. Over Xmas we travelled approx 900 miles around the North Island of New Zealand and found that after only about 100 to 150 miles we were starting to get the dreaded butt ache. We're planning a trip to the US later this year, September in fact, and are wondering if this "ultimate" seat is the real answer to this problem as we're expecting to be travelling around 500 to 600 miles a day. So is this "Ultimate" the real deal for long disance comfort or should I be looking at another bike, I've been considering the Valkyrie. What do you think guy's.

My two cents also go for the Ultimate Big Boy. Best ride I've ever had and I have a big butt, you won't go wrong. I have the solo with a back rest (highly recommend the back rest) and love it.
