Looking for ideas on seats for my newly purchased dyna. I'm 6' tall and using extended mid controls. Would like something that sets me back a little and is comfortable for all day riding. What do you recommend?? Thanks

Does it set you back further than the stock seat does? I'm considering forwards but much prefer the mids for how I ride. Highway pegs are in order however.

It does set you further back and slightly lower than the stock seat.

The 'Sidekick Two Up" seat from HD sits you slightly further back again and is just as comfy

I'm 6' and 210 and am riding an '08 FXDC and have the Mustang Touring One-Piece seat:
(http://www.mustangseats.com/Product/...Dyna-2006-2016)
It's been very comfortable and extremely well made. I've attached a picture so that you can see what it looks like with me on it.

I am 6'7" and like the Mustang wide touring seat. I had one on an 03 WG and when I got my 08 I ordered one for it as well. Seems to set me back and lower a bit over the stock seats. My longest ride has been about 780 miles with many in the 300-500 mile range. I would not hesitate to recommend it

I would call Mean City Cycles they can modify your seat anyway you want it, with heat too. That's all they do is seats.
