it’s their “wall”. I have it on my fxbbs and my fxdl/i.
Highly recommend, but it needs miles to adjust to your body. Plus, their website has a design interface that you can see what it looks like with all the leather choices.
Thank You,
that's a good looking seat. I have a 34" inseam and wonder if this seat sets you higher?, which I need. I think anymore all seats take longer to "break in". I'm on a Saddlemen SDC, 5000 miles later it's still like sitting on a board. I have a Corbin on my FXR, very good seat once broken in.

im 6’1” and it 32” inseam, and I’m comfortable. When you order, they ask for weight and inseam. I’m sure that figures into how they make it.

Could you take measurement for me? I attached a photo of the area. Appreciate it.

will do but it will have to be tomorrow, I haven’t had power since 1:15 am. I’m on the Atlantic coast at the DE/MD line and we got 20” of snow. Garage is dark and we are living with candlelight and a pot of water steaming for heat (natural gas stove).
I can show you how my day off work was spent!

Thanks.

Power came on this morning as I was leaving for work. Had a lot of scrambling to do to get the house in order and break down our pioneer style light and heat. I'll get the measurement this evening. If I forget, respond to this thread or DM me as a reminder. I work 40 hours a week at my day job plus have a home office for my accounting and tax return business (most evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday, 2/1 to 4/15), but a measurement will take 30 seconds.
