So, I finally sprung for a new seat, and Ultimate is offering me a 14-day trial period. I am planning a 10 day half-cross Canada ride and will give it a good go. Couple things I noticed right off...
1. The price I paid was in $Cdn vice the advertised $US on the site. Saved myself 30% on exchange. Any US people that are looking for a seat, might want to get it from the Cdn distributor and save some $$.
2. The 14 day trial is only good for a seat with standard vinyl/vinyl construction. Custom seats are not open for the trial. I was planning on exchanging my trial seat for one with carbon fibre inserts if I like the seat after my ride. Turns out, they gave me a seat with carbon fibre inserts and I am gtg either way. This will potentially save me the hassle of an exchange. +1
3. That bad boy was a tight fit! Getting the stock bolts to line up was a bitch! I’ve read on the forums that you can get tapered bolts or grind a taper into the stock ones. I’d prefer to just get tapered ones. Where can I find those? (Update: http://www.bigbikeparts.com/template...&GroupGuid=118)
4. They threw in some rain covers gratis, so that saved me some more $. Putting that on is like trying to squeeze into a medium Durex. Another tight fit! Plus it’s a hassle with the rack out back.
Overall first impressions... Great service from the folks at Ultimate Toronto! Nice looking seat! Fits like a glove on the quick test ride!
