Default Dyna info

I am wanting to get rid of my Ultra and get into a dyna
I am on the tall side 6'2" so forward controls are a must and I have been looking at the Tall Boy seat.Has anyone tried this seat.
I have had the sundowners on my previous RG and ultra....I really want a flatter seat to keep the "boys" out of my guts.
Any suggestions.

I don't know about the Tallboy seats but at 6'1" I am very comfortable with the Sundowner seat on my '07 WideGlide. I rode From SLC to Cascade Locks in one day and could have rode more. Your wanting to do the opposite of me, I wish I had an ULTRA.

I'm 6'2" and I am very comfortable with this Mustang Wide Vintage 2up. Cost me $350 at Dennis Kirk with free shipping. I sit this seat whereas I straddled my OEM Street Bob seat.

The Sundowners are nice seats though. Never owned one, did look hard at them before I bought the Mustang.

I'm 6'5" and I have a sundowner as well.
I also extended my forwards about two inches out and down a little, makes it very comfortable.

My two-up set-up is similar to RWB's. A pair of Mustang wides and extended forwards. 34" inseam.

I found the Sundowner to sit a little higher and more forward than the Touring seat. At 6'4", I'm more comfortable with the Touring seat than the Sundowner. I prefer highway pegs and mid controls. I've learned to shift and brake with my heels when I've got my feet out front.
