Default 2009 Dyna DXFC seat suggestions.

Hello.

Picked up a 2009 Dyna SG Custom today and have determined I need more leg room.

Figured I'd start with a seat first.

C.C. Rider has a tall boy seat for $380.00.

Any opinions on this seat or a different and possibly less expensive one?

Thanks

Seats are very subjective. What fits my *** might not fit yours.
I will say Mustang makes the best seats I’ve ever sat on, but again, that’s just my opinion.

As for price, CC Rider is among the least expensive on the market. Most others will start around $500 and go up from there.
Good luck.

Bubba,

Thanks for the input.

Do you think a tall boy seat will help for legroom?

This would be the quick and easy route.

I know forward controls would work but I thought to try a less expensive and easier install option first.

Thanks,

Chris

Im not familiar with the Tall Boy.

Another good, cheap, and easy option would be highway pegs. Either mounted to the engine guard if you have one, or mounted to the forward control location.
I have mid controls with highway pegs on my Dyna.
You can see them in the pic below mounted where the forward controls would be.
I love this set up. Mid controls feel better to me but it’s nice to be able to stretch out on longer rides.

I see from your picture how that could work for me.

Thanks!

I'd ride down to a Harley dealership and have them size up a few. They usually carry a few different brands/styles in stock on their wall and will no doubt demo them on your bike to get you fitted. That'll give you a reference to start shopping on your own, or you could stumble on the perfect seat...

Never thought of that.

I have a large dealer about 10 minutes away.

Thanks

Very happy with a LePera Maverick on my 09 low rider. Can snap some pics if interested, but it checks a lot of boxes for me and it not too oversized for a 300-500 mile day…what you need to look for is something with a flat lower back support and deep seat bucket. For reasons I don't understand a lot of seat manufactures make things with a giant radius to it, those suck.
