Default Seat Choice

I have an 05 super glide with 16inch apes, forward controls and sissy bar (other mods not relavant) I'm slightly under 6'3 235 trying to make a decision on changing saddle I'm happy with ride height and cushion but would like more of a pocket with more lower back support. The apes have made back feel better letting me lean back here and there any thoughts on a seat that has high lip, and passenger seat with out bringing the ride height up

Sounds like your looking for a C&C seat. With or without a backrest. The fastback, squareback or sport-tour would fit what your looking for nicely I think.

Looks good is there a big difference between the stock seat and the squareback or sport-tour, like u said, it looks like a good fit for what I'm looking for but it's hard to see online how much of a difference from stock. is sport-tour slightly thicker?

Sport tour is the same as the fastback for the rider. The passenger has a bigger space on the sport tour. I really like my sport tour over my factory seat. Moved me back about and inch and down also.

With the C&C seat there is def. a pocket you feel like you are attached to the bike instead of sitting on top of it. Also has good back support.
