Default Tall boy seat

Im looking for a new seat. How is the tall boy? Im 6 4 and Im ok with the forwards and stock seat with pillion on my 06 superglide. But if any one can tell me what seat will push me back an inch or more would be great.

6 3 and very happy with mine for 4,000 miles now. My thighs are now level instead of having my knees higher than my hips. Added highway pegs for cruising and makes for a comfortable ride. Also raised the rear with longer shocks. Adds to cornering clearance. Seems most riders go for the lowered look but from the perspective of a taller rider I like mine better this way.

I'm 6'2', I have the Tallboy Seat and the forward foot controls. I am very comfortable. It has been well worth the money.

Guess I'll be the odd man out: I' 6'3" and have a 38" inseam. Bought my bike with a Tallboy on it and canned it within two weeks. It sat me up way too high into the wind and it looks like a couch monted on a Dyna. I snagged a stock Low Rider seat (have put 11,000 miles on it so far)on eBay for $100 and I really like the wiggle room and back support. Just ordered a Mustang Custom Squareback for long distance trips.

Seats are a very difficult item to purchased, based soley on others opinions...
