Default New tall-boy seat

OK......... Got my new TALL-BOY seat installed on my '07 DELUXE.......

What a friggin' difference in comfort!

I'm 6'3" 220lbs... stock seat was terrible... my knees were higher than my hips, when that happened I had sharp pains in my hips, all "scrunched" forward, extremely low height.... hated the seat, hated the DELUXE!

Matter of fact, I rented a ROAD KING ALL WEEK because I was seriously considering un-loading the DELUXE!

But this new TALL-BOY SEAT has calmed my nerves, actually love my DELUXE now, feel VERY comfortable, my butt's happy... nice riding position even as big as I am...
looks great on my bike!

I HIGHLY recommend this seat for anybody that wants to move BACK, or move UP or just needs a softer more comfortable seat.

Put the Xbones seat on if you want a good solo seat. The stock p-pad from the Deluxe will still work for 2 up. I have the Tall Boy as well - just don't like the way it looks on the bike. I'm 6'6" & 3 bills.

Miami totally agree with you as I too am 6'4" tall and went to the tall boy seat. My only problem was it looked like I bolted a couch on my bike and it didnt look right. I read the posts on the Springer seat and its not as comfortable as the tall boy (at least for me) but does come close.
Happy riding..

The TallBoy seat lasted all of about 60 seconds on my FatBoy. Has to be one of the ugliest looking seats I have seen. Plus the fact it sat me up way to high. I prefer sitting in the bike not on it. Got a C&C Sport Tour, sits me down and back and fits the lines of the bike. Does the TallBoy say " Built by Lazy Boy Recliners" on it?
