What a deal!
'07 Ulysses seat (black/black) $109 (plus CA,tax.)

I told the counterman he could expect to sell a few more at that price.

Checked with my dealer last week and they couldn't find a listing!

California Harly-Davidson.

I stopped in to buy a drain plug and casually asked if they had a parts catalog for the '07 Uly. A few seconds later one appeared still in plastic.

When I heard the price I ordered one on the spot!

Dang it! My dealer's closed...

They had the '07 parts catalog also, but I guess they hadn't indexed the part numbers yet. I'll try first thing tomorrow.

Thanks Teeps!

I thought I had read somewhere the 07 seat wouldn't fit on the 06s?

Can't say how "good" it is, but it's lower and has a more rounded contour toward the front.

Does anyone know for sure that the 07 seat will fit the 06? For that price, I would like to try one. Even if it only gets me a half-inch it would be worth it.

Then I could get back the slight height increase that the ScorpionSyncs cost me from the Dunlops.

I was told by a Buell rep at Laguna Seca that he has an '07 seat on his '06. It fits.

I bought one today myself, a black one though I have the Orange bike and I like the two-tone seat. One reason is that the Triple Tail leaves marks all over the orange part of my stock seat.

Second is that I want to get the Black flyscreen and airbox cover. Those with the black seat on my bike would trick people into thinking I had the less fast Uly!

Yeah Bosh, but like you posted the seat seemed firmer to you than the '06.

I'm fine with my stock seat for daily riding, 32" inseam so I don't have a problem, and I like the positioning while riding.

For the distance though I think it's too soft. That's why I asked you about the firmness. Found out for myself on an '07 at the Rock Store later, felt really good and FAR better than the Low seat I bought along with my bike.

The slight decrease in height is about an inch I think, my stock seat has softened up some so the difference under compression might not be so great. I just want a harder seat.

Got the dreaded "Part is on BACK ORDER" call yesterday.
Though I am not surprised, being that the '07s are not even at (CA H/D) the dealer yet.

Those fork springs are showing up as a $23.00 part..? That can't be right can it?
part # J0113.2AK

The parts guy at Dillon Brothers HD/Buell just got a CityX. Anyway, he told me Buell parts are very inexpensive. That in itself makes owning a Buell a long term value proposition. Try going to Yamaha, Honda and the others and buy parts. Arm and a leg. Really can piss ya off. Gotta love the Buell business plan: Treat your customers like family and provide value. I just made that up.

What is the height difference between a low '06 and and the Standard '07?

If anyone has tried both, is it worth changing?
