Seat Options for Tall Riders
I'm 6'5" tall and need to set back more on my 08 Fat Boy to allow my legs to streach out. I have seen the "Tall Boy Seat" from HD. Does any one have any experience with this seat? I saw where it is supposed to set back 2" and up 3". I'm not sure if I want to set up an additional 3". Are there any other seat options?
thanks
thanks

I have seen several bikes on here were they have put seats on there bikes to put them back. I'm 6'1 and have the same delema with streching my legs out. Look at a Mustang vintage solo seat, It looks allot like the stock Fatboy seat, yet it's allot more comfortable in the long run. I have a highwaybar with pegs which help too for me to strech out. Seat wise I would say to look at a Lepera Siloette seat, it's a low profile seat, will sit you back and down on the bike.

I'm 6'6" riding a 07 FatBoy. What I did was first got floorboard extensions, which moved them forward about 2", then bought a C&C seat which moves me down and back. The TallBoy seat is about as ugly on a bike as they come. I tried one on my bike at a dealer and it came off immediately. I want to feel like I'm sitting in the bike not on top of it. A few of the aftermarket seat companies make their seats so that they sit you down and back. Check out ccseats.com. I have a Solo and a Sport Tour (which I'm selling)

Yes, I ride all day with relative comfort. I suppose my *** might hurt some after sitting on the couch for 12 hours also. Its the most comfortable seat i have found.
