Default '93 Electra Glide tallboy seat?

So I finally got around to getting my new to me Glide up & running and was wondering if anyone knows of a tallboy seat for a '93?

Seems like I can find a ton for the '97 and up bikes but not ones older than those.

Anyone got any ideas?

It's a seat that moves the rider back and up.

The previous owner was on the short side and I'm on the tall side.

When I'm sitting on the bike, I'm jammed against the tank. Not very comfortable.

Need to remove the lowering kit off the bike too.

It's getting tough to find ANY pre '97 seat for the Glides. Might need to do a pan-up custom.

You could have your seat re-cut like I did, thru Mean City Cycle http://www.meancitycycles.com They are a sponsor on this forum. They did a really good job getting my seat fitted just for my size.

"Tallboy" never made any sense to me. Back, yes, but up, hell no. I got what I needed with a Corbin seat and extended controls and footboards.
