HD Signature Seat
Greetings,
Still in quest of "the" seat. All the seats listed below were bought used. I currently have the following....
Corbin Classic Solo - Best backrest I've experienced. Seat is too hard. Just remounted this seat and went for a good 175 mile ride yesterday and my *** cheek bones were killing me. Love that it's leather and locks to the bike. Would prefer if it was higher by 1" or so.
Mustang Wide Touring solo w/ backrest - Seat ergos are decent, but wish it was another 1" back. Do not like their backrest. Firmness is decent, more supportive than stock, but not the *** killer that is the Corbin. I can ride for quite a while in comfort. Wish it was leather.
HD TallBoy - Really changes the rider position. 2" up and 1.75" rearward. Ergo's are an "almost". Rider position change is a touch too drastic. Seat is well padded, but it looks like a tumor on the bike. Best compromise in my seat arsenal for a touring seat and only seat with passenger accommodations.
Considering trying out the HD Signature seat. It has a backrest. Anyone know how it repositions the rider from stock? Any overall comments on the seat?
As a side note, anyone with experience with the Danny Grey with either LowIST or TourIST seats?

I've tried the following:
Stock LRS solo - forget it.
LePera Mavrick daddy long legs - decent enough rearward position, but too low.
Saddlemen Explorer - moved me WAY to far forward.
...and I keep going back to my three bike old, ugly as hell Tallboy. I've basically given up on getting something that looks good, in favor of what feels good. I'm 6'3 and a heavyweight, so my choices are limited.
I was thinking after the Explorer went back, of trying a mustang, but they all seem to move forward or not at all back.
So as I said, i'm probably done.
Go to a dealer and try out the tallboy. I bet you'll buy it, regardless of its hideousness

Any idea if the Signature and Tallboy share the same dimensions?

Perfect. Thank you. Unfortunately, I'm looking for something that lifts the rider and is a little further back.

Have not. Any experience with them? Thoughts?
Just went to their website and read some info. They claim it positions the rider exactly as stock. The stock seat riding position does not work for me. I'm looking for higher and back.
