This is actually my 1st seat on the 'Liner. Went through 5 on the Roadie. Liner doesn't have the R* frame horns , so......


But.....It is on its way back to Corbin for an additional modification. BB

I've had vinyl Ultimate on my bike for a few years 14,000 miles and shows no wear. I'm not in the rain much, but like folks have said, vinyl holds up better than leather in the long hall. I have ridden all day without complaint. I have the Ultimate on the pillon and my wife is very happy with her ride also.

Yeah I remember the others were on the Roadie. So I was just messing that you had to get a new bike. Good Luck this time! Haven't ridden the Liner, but sat on it. A little more roomy for us big guys! oops...

Hey GJ...If you get the opportunity mate, I'd recommend taking the Liner for a spin...they're as smooth as silk with power to burn.

I have sat on one and just as comfy as the R*, to me.. more motor for sure.
I am only 5'8" and can reach everything, but BB makes the bike look almost small, enjoy.

Serious... It looked like a gigantic rat and I've never seen one that large. It was at night many years ago. I was driving my car on a side street and saw it with my headlights, I waited for it to move out of the way before I proceeded. For a moment, thought the thing was going to jump on my car.
