VP8-
We narrow down the front of the F6B seat as much as we could, while still allowing us to keep our pan and foam tolerances.
Best,

VP8 - Keep in mind that the factory seats for the GL1800 and the F6 have different seating positions. Also, because of the way the F6B side covers were designed - our seat pan is wider on an F6B then our pan for the GL1800 in order to allow for you to continue to remove the side covers without removing the seat.

Can anyone who has ridden on an Ultimate (preferably King as I'm 6'5") describe how the feel of it differs from the stock? I understand that people feel it's more comfortable and it may be hard to describe more than that, but I am super interested in this seat but that is a HUGE investment to make site unseen. Even though the reviews are mostly positive, I am really nervous about forking over $1K and not having seen or sat on one of these at all. If I didn't live so far from Daytona, I'd swing by to see it in person but that unfortunately is not in the cards. :( Any thoughts?

Bill,
Don't forget, just because you can't swing by Daytona, doesn't mean you can't 'try' the seat. We understand that seats are a big investment, that's why we give you 14 days from delivery to make sure you love the seat - if not, you're only out your freight charges, out and back.

Richie,
It would vary by rider. The variables really come in with the combination of height, weight, inseam and really how the rider is built. For instance if you're carrying any 'extra weight', are you carrying it 'in front of you' or 'behind you'? If you're carrying it behind you, you'll be pushed further forward in the seat because of the increased lateral support in our seats, and your thighs will be closer to the nose of the seat which is more narrow. That's just one 'for instance' of so many. That's why we offer our trial period. Not everyone can see us on the road, or come visit our factory or showroom.

Darcym,
Unfortunately not this year. The farthest west we will get is TX, AR and SD. We bring our rig out of Daytona Beach when we go - so it's a bit of a hull to make it all the way to the west coast. Not to say it won't happen anytime in the near future. But, not this year.
