Anybody with Ultimate Seat + pics

I have a Corbin on my 03 Nomad, I love it, but the passenger area is very small. I have the Ultimate Seat (Driver/Passenger) on my 98 Honda Valkyrie and also enjoy this seat and wife likes it mucho better. Anybody have the Ultimate Seat on Nomad and can share some pictures.

I have the Ultimate seat but am using the stock passenger seat.
My wife has her own bike so didn't need to spend the extra cash.

I have it without a drivers backrest. I had a Corbin Dual touring seat I think the Ultimate is much more comfortable and my girlfriend loves the ultimate passenger seat.

Patrick... Thanks a million, the pics are great, exactly the info I was looking for. Yup, I have the Corbin 2-up Touring seat, great for me, but passenger space is a little tight. Thanks again. Vinnie

Pat, that's a pretty small trunk you have on your carrier.
Can't get much in there can you? ;)

TC it is a Mutazu DMY, not as big as some but suits my needs. On trips it has plenty of room for all the stuff I want easy access to and Margaret's full face helmet. I think it looks smaller than it actually is in that pic. It will hold 2 full face helmets with a little room to spare. Right now it has a exo400 an exo100 and her leather jacket in it.

I would love to put a tour pack on it, but cannot justify the cost. Most of the time I have no trunk or backrest on the Nomad. I throw the backrest on if going for a short trip with Margaret or the trunk if I want the space on a longer trip.

Pat, I was being a wise ass. I was referring to the pictures of your bike that had the half helmet sitting on the luggage rack.
I forgot the first pic had your trunk on there. That doesn't look that small.

No worries glad I could help! The passenger seat is a couple of inches wider, and Margaret says the position is more comfortable too.

Heads up! The people a Ultimate assume you are replacing a stock seat. If you don't have the mounting hardware from the stock seat you will have to pick-up the parts from Kawa dealer. Not alot of money. There is one bracket that you cannot get without buying entire rear seat I ended up picking up a t-bracket from Home Depot for around 6 bucks.

good luck with it.

Here is the thread that lists the part you will need, if you don't have the stock hardware.
