I'm around 5'10" and put a Mustang vintage solo on my Fat Bob and it pulled me back a bit. I love the seat and put a set of pull back risers on the bars and now it seems perfect. Would actually like to try a reduced reach forward conversion kit to make it a bit less of a reach for the legs.

I've looked at those but think i'll try a Sick Saddle solo, good looking seats at a reasonable price.
