Ultimate Seat 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Just got off the phone with Ultimate Seats in Toronto. I mentioned to them that quite a few of you guys have them and the general consensus was that the push you forward. Their claim is that it will not and they stand by that on the phone. I told them I have the Mustang seat to which they said "it will definitely push you forward" to which i agree it does. Near the end of the conversation the girl asked me my height and weight to which i replied 6ft 210lbs. She said no way it won't push you forward. I asked her if size had something to do with it and she said yes.
So I ask you guys is that true or am I wasting my time and a lot of money?
Sorry about all the she said stuff.

Re:Ultimate Seat 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Helmut, I'm 6'2" @280 lbs (maybe a bit more - don't weight myself much these days...). So for a big guy, I find myself pushed forward a little when I first get on, but after riding for a few minutes the force of the ride pushes me back a little anyway. Plus the seat's memory foam adjusts to my hiney and back a little so it's very comfortable.

You can try the seat out for 14 days and send it back for a full refund, if you decide you don't like it. But I really think you'll keep it once you've ridden on it for 100 miles or so.

Any seat that sits you lower on the bike will push you forward a bit. It all has to do with the way the frame is. If it didn't move you forward you wouldn't have much of a back pad to the seat. You get used to it after a while and I love my seat wouldn't trade for it fo anything.

I had a Mustang and now have an Ultimate, the Ultimate will put you a smidgen forward but not as much as the Mustang.

Re:Ultimate Seat 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
I am 6'5" and 350.My Ultimate had a forward push feel to it when I first got it.But then I found out that they have a offset backrest bracket and I ordered that and it feels just right now.For some reason they do not list the offset bracket on there website.I love my Ultimate and can ride from fillup to fillup with no pain.
