My favorite of all the seats I tried was the Lepera. It sat me just as far back and a bit lower. They also make a tall version called Daddy Longlegs. They are a firm seat but not as firm as Carden. I am 6' as well.

All this seat discussion makes me glad that the stock HD seat works for me. Coming off a GSXR 600, which had a thin pad for a seat, my factory LR seat feels like a Lazy Boy.
I see this thread has went past 500,000 views. Wow.

when i had just gotten my dyna here in FL, the very first ride was 1000 miles in 1-1/2 days ho to Baltimore with the stock seat.... without ever have taken a serious/non-test drive.
a day later in Baltimore, a random guy at my hometown dealership wonders over to me to talk because i was the only nutter riding around on a bike in the rain in October. he saw the temp FL tags and asked if i just bought it. i said yes. first thing out of his mouth was get rid of the seat and get a sundowner..."?" bizarre... here i am having just rode a grand and had not a single issue (would later ride another 1000) and this guy is telling me i need a better seat.
seat is fkn fine. i actually love it. it's just right. getting some big ugly 1980's butt bean bag (sun downer or other two up) or some *** splitting bare-bones seat is not ok for me. after riding my sporty chainsaw around for years, the dyna solo seat feels like a water bed.
i also refuse to carry passengers... if a woman wants a ride, she better get her own bike or ride with someone else. no compromises there for me.

folks complain about seats all the time. even try to force it on others.

Seats have to be one of the most personal thing on a bike, what works for one is agony for the next. Age plays a big part of it, 35 years ago I could have put in 10 hour days on a sheet of plywood and it wouldn't have bothered me. Today however it is a different story.
