Default Hey fat asses!

Ok Now got your attention: This is for all of us BIG GUYS! Stats: 6-3 375lbs

I'm looking for a better seat, I switched from stock to the Tall Boy, yes it was better but only marginally. I am looking for help from anyone out there with real experiance with a good seat swap. My issues other than being larger than average is I get sweaty butt which was mostly remedeied with a good sheepskin however that took away from the seat. The other problem is I can only sit in it for about 1-1.5 before my legs start to get tingly numb and my butt feels like it is being pinched across the back of my legs or in that general area.

I have given thought to the Zepplin and even the Road Sofa from Saddlement but have a hard time looking at spending $800 until I have some real feedback from someone else of similar staure with a good experiaince.

So what ya got boys??

Mustang Touring Seats are 18" wide. They've got a few different styles to choose from.

Stay away from mustang seats. They are not designed at all for tall riders. I'm 6'5" 275 and I have tried 3 different seats from mustang and they all make you feel like your sitting on the gas tank. Lucky for me I just borrowed them from friends and was not out big $.

Yes have thought about meancity as well but I sold the origanol seat right after I got the Tall Boy. Maybe if I can find one relatively cheap and send that? But I like how the tall boy moved me back a little.

Hmmm.................mps
