Default Tall Guy, my butt is now cradled by the hands of a Goddess

I wish I had done this 8, yes 8 seats ago......

My last seat was a custom seat by Hartco and by far the best seat I had ever used until now.

I put a 2013 FLHP solo seat with shock over coil suspension on my 2014 Limited.
My butt feels like its being held by the hands of a goddess.....

I have now ordered the Mustang recessed passenger seat and a Utopia Backrest to complete the package.

This seat does sit you up high, but I've never been more comfortable.

Background, I'm 6'6" tall 205 lbs with 36" inseam legs.

I hope this helps other tall riders looking for seat nirvana

Ive got 11K on the police seat and Ive done a few 500+ days without the pins and needles of every other seat Ive tried. Im 6.5 and it was by far the best mod .

Congrats! I've been telling people for years that they would have to spend quite a sizeable sum to beat the comfort of these police "solo" seats. Some don't care for the looks, I do, and they definitely have "all day" rideability built into them.


Now you need to outfit the FLHP solo seat, the Mustang passenger seat and the Utopia backrest with the HD "Circulator" pads. I have the full set of 4, including the passenger backrest. Keeps your backsides very dry and comfortable during those long, hot rides. No more "swamp ***"!
There are after market pads available as well but I have no experience with anything other than the HD brand. They are priceless improvements to my riding comfort.

I have the full package and I love it. I would never change it. On long rides I can go from fill up to fill up without changing my seating position. Very, very comfortable !

I once saw someone that had a seat guy make a skirt for that seat that pretty much made it look like a normal seat.

+1 on the HD Circulator pads. I use them all the time. The little one for the rider backrest is awesome as well. No more sweaty back...

The cop seat is great! That and bags that could be used while seated on the bike were some of the main reasons why I wanted a cop bike when I started seriously looking. Then Harley fixed the bag problem and put that beautiful big screen infotainment in the Rushmore bikes ...

I love my cop seat - found a used one on this site's classifieds - but now I've gotta tell my wife about the goddess' hands, lol.
