Road Zeppelin seat

[j79phan]

I had one for three years had back in the shop two times always leaked I got rid of it

Mine is about 1.5 years old. Very comfortable seat when it worked.
It is leaking now and needs repaired.
I'll pay the $$ to get it fixed, but honest opinion....
Wish I hadn't bought it.

Why, because of the repair?
My first one lasted 10 years and still worked when I sold it. My second one(the new 2 bladder design) had to have the bladder repaired after 2 years. Maybe they're cheapening it up - like Harley and everything else made in the word.

It's still the best seat you can buy.

Agreed, it is a very comfortable seat.
Needing repair after only 1.5 years, only having a 1 year warranty, and a 90 day warranty on repairs. That is unacceptable for a $700+ seat, and if asked my opinion.
I say, look elsewhere.

Merry Christmas

Maybe you just got a defective seat. I'm sure not everyone has to have theirs repaired in only 1.5 years. That's like saying my Ford had a defective wheel so I'm never going to buy another Ford.

I agree the warrantee should be longer after a repair, but just about everything has those kind of warrantees.
Even the product we make have a one year warranty along with all the OEM parts on it. Compare repair warranties on other products - they are even worse. Most only have a 30 day or 60 day warranty.
Now, the cost of the repair is another thing. Yes that is too high.

Look elsewhere?? Where? I don't know of any other air seat on the market. And all the static seats I've tried don't come close to the RZ seat, so I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that I don't have to have my seat repaired again, but I will if I have to.

You have a Merry Christmas also and all you other forum members. ThumbUp :Santa:

I have a RZ seat on my 2013, bad back, two neck surgeries, 25,000 and can'take wait for warmer weather. Àlready have several long trips planned for next year. The seat is excellent, I hardly ever use àir. I can ride with no problems. I highly recommend the RZ. I have been riding for 40yrs. and many different seats the RZ is by far the best.

We have a 2010 Triglide. Wife is has tailbone issues. Same cyst thing mentioned above. Stock seat is starting to bother her. Today we went to HD shop. They said the Hammock is their #2 seller, #1 is the Zeppelin Air adjustable. They gave us a demo loaner on the Hammock. gonna have it a few days no charge. On a quick 1 hour ride it was comfortable for me and she liked it. Will try again tomorrow. Next weekend gonna go back and swap for demo Zeppelin Air adjustable.
Keeping our fingers crossed.

One tip I'd give is to adjust the RZ seat about every 40 miles/1/2 hour - BEFORE your bottom starts to feel uncomfortable. Once you start feeling the pressure it takes a little longer to recover.
