Seat recommendation for taller guy?
 
I recently bought a beautiful Dyna as my first motorcycle! Finally joining the Harley crowd!

I love the seat that I have now (comfy for shorter rides), but what's a seat that you all would recommend for me? I'm 6'0" (have forward controls), but I'd like to move back just a hair in the seat, and maybe even get a little back support. I'd like a 1-up seat and don't want the back support to look like a freakin' Lazy Boy, but something that may come up a bit higher (or even seating me a tad lower to create the higher back) than my current one, for when I start doing longer rides. Your thoughts?

Thanks guys!

Here are a few pics to let you see what I've got now. (MANY more mods to come later, haha :) )

I've got the C&C sport tour and I really like the back support it provides. You can also get them with a removable rider back rest. I'm eyeing the fastback model for when I'm riding solo. Oh and I'm pushing 6'4"

My Switchback is my first HD too. Going to a local guy here in San Antonio, he's going to modify my seat, add foam, move me back a hair and give me a backrest of sorts. quoted me $200.
Compared with an aftermarket seat, it's a steal.

I have my stock seat (exactly like yours) I do not like the position with it. I have a corbin solo. (the one in my pic) And I have a Badlander on the way, I will let you know how the position is with it when I get it. Should put me 1 to 2 inches back from stock the way it looks. My corbin solo puts me 2" back, but there is no back support. btw I am 6'2".
