I am considering a 2025 Lowrider S. Like some posts on here I find the rider triangle to be challenging. My knees are above my hips creating some discomfort. I ride sport bikes so the mid controls are not an issue. I see mention of seats that higher and move you back but I can't find a thread that says this is the seat. I have looked on Salesman, Para, C and C, Corbin etc but none seem to have measurements. Maybe it is just the Harley seat for two up riding? I will be riding 2 up regularly. Can someone give me a recommendation? thanks in advance
I have the Hd tall boy and another good seat for tall riders with the stock further forward mids is the saddlemen explorer. I have since gone to forward controls they are bolth for sale.
How much taller are they than stock?
What seat are you using now with the forward controls? I
s the right answer just to change the controls at purchase?
The tall boy will lift you up and back. The saddlemen explorer lifts u up but not back. Both seats will get your hips level with your knees. Then pull back risers as you will be reaching for the bar. With forward controls I run the saddlemen step up. I like my current set up but they all made the bike more comfortable.

With the pullback risers are longer cables required?
