How does your non stock seat fit your Dyna...thread
Greetings,
I've been on a seat hunt lately. I demo'd a Tall Boy and liked it a lot, but it may have been a smidge too tall. Liked the seat position though. I understand it moves the rider 2" up and 1.75" rearward. The seat felt a little firmer than stock and was flatter vs the more cradled feeling from stock. More surface area to move for and aft.
So, I'm looking for info for Dyna's (FLD specifically) on how your non stock seat fits your bike as compared to stock, as well as any other comments you'd like to make.
Seat - HD Tallboy
Rider dimensions - 6', 34" inseam, 34" arms
Height change - 2" up
For/aft change - 1.75" rearward
Comments - Seat felt flatter. Easier to reposition for/aft. Seat felt firmer, but more supportive. Was aware of the additional height at parking lot speeds. Upside was a more commanding seating position. Felt more in control of the bike.

Thanks for all the replies.
How did your seat change your riding position? How does the riding position differ from stock?

My seat put me down further and pushes me back a couple inches.
