Road Zeppelin Seat Cushion

[Shriner Jim]

We have a RZ seat on our TG but my wife still needs a bit more comfort on long rides. She has been using an inflatable seat cushion for a few years. It sprung a leak in southern Mississippi year before last. I patched it, it didn't hold very long but we got home, I patched it again and it held longer.
I ordered a new HD RZ cushion last Sept from Surdyke. It has been backordered several times since I originally placed the order. The last straw was yet another BO, moving it to mid Jan. I paid for the cushion in Sept, 2014 and I just gave up. I asked them to cancel my order and refund my money. The did cancel my order but I am still awaiting a refund.
Surdyke says it is not their fault, HD is moving it out??? It's a cushion and its winter, what gives?

"What gives" is the new CEO Keith Wandell and the COO Matt Levatich are destroying Harley Davidson from the inside-out. They are cutting the union labor force, outsourcing manufacturing that was in-house, and creating an atmosphere of animosity between the workers and management. This comes directly from a worker at the York plant. The CEO makes $139K a week. :xzqxz:

I use an Airhawk R seat cushion and like it!!

check out asweetseat.com they can rework your seat to your liking. I just saw a seat they did last week with alligator inserts and it was beautiful.

Air leaks, long back orders, etc. I hate to see folks go through this. Every time I read these Zeppelin posts, it makes me glad I spent the time and money on my Russell Day Long.

Not to hijack this thread, but if you want to see how Wandell makes a year go to the following. But keep in mind he is tied in with other boards.

Looks like this poor guy is nearing food stamps. You can't fault him for success and I'm sure he hasn't made the decision to back order my seat cushion, however I just want my wife to be comfy. A happy wife makes for a good day.
