I'm buying a 2008 FLHTC and will need a seat that will give better legroom. Anyone tried a stock seat from a Road Glide or Street Glide? How about a Sundowner?

 

Forget anything from HD. Check out Corbin, their Solo is 1 1/2" down, 2" back.

But that's just the beginning.........................

 

I have a 2011 Ultra Limited and the stock seat is too far forward for me. I'm 6'1". I just ordered a Mustang Super Touring seat (P/N 79556). Supposed to move you back 1.75 inch. We'll see soon. Should be here by next Monday or if I'm really lucky maybe this Friday.

I also tried a couple HD seats and none really fit right.

And then I had a stock seat modified at a local shop to move me back and it feels pretty good but I'm not completely happy with it aesthetically. If I like the Mustang seat the modified stock one might be for sale.

 

I put a TallBoy on my '08 FLHX -- Moved back a couple inches and down a whisker (barely a whisker - and I have to make that assumption because I had the stock seat built-up somewhat).

Surprisingly comfy -- Typically, I'm a 'hard seat' (Corbin, etc.) type. But I did a 6-700 mile day on this thing and felt like a million bucks.

Moved the seat to my (current bike) 2011 FLHTC and it fits even better.

See if your dealer will let you throw it on for a test ride... Underrated seat, IMO. And not too expensive either.

 

Check into the LePera - Maverick - Daddy Long Legs. That worked for me. Sits you down and back 2". I also moved boards up and out an inch with the Kury extenders. Made a big difference.

Got my Mustang seat this afternoon. Put it on the bike and took about a half hour ride. This thing is NICE!!! Tomorrow I'll put some real miles on it but I can tell already from today's short ride that I like it. As soon as I reach my 30 days here on the forum I'll try selling my old seat here on the forum classifieds.

 

Just bought a Mustang Sport Touring on eBay for my 2010 Road Glide, was looking to move forward just a tad. The seller had auctioned it because his 35" inseam left him too cramped. I figured with my short 31" inseam I'd be fine. Not so much... I'm essentially sitting on the tank. Try before you buy!
