I have a cousin who just purchased his first Harley. He picked up a 2008 Ultra Classic, only 10000 miles. I'm helping him get it set up. The previous owner was small in stature, with the seat being low and pushed forward. My cousin is 6'2"and weighting in at 215. What are some good seats for someone of that size and weight. Hoping to find a used seat in good condition. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. JR

Most if not all dealers have seats available for testing. I would think that that would be the best option.

Agreed, looking for a good seat to start testing. JR

I'd start with the Tall Boy, but my seat of choice is the Sundowner.

The dealer program is nice to try before you buy. I'm about the same size as him. I have a Road King with a Street Glide seat. I'm looking at a C&C seat at the moment. I tried a police seat but it wasn't quite my thing.

Is there a style he likes too? Is two-up a consideration? If so, bridging the gap between cool and comfortable is the Mustang Sport Touring (or similar name) seat.

YUP, I agree. I've run a mustang seat for many years with no complaints.
