Thumbs up need recommendation for RK seat for my big ****!
Well the title pretty much says it all. I'm 6'3" and go about 250. Looking for a seat for my '08 RK.

Try the Tallboy. I am 6'1" 250# and I really like the way it moves you back.

Absolutely. Did 200 miles on it today without stopping and my lower back is not in the best shape.

I'm also 6-3 and recently put on a Police air ride solo seat on my 08 RKC. This is the most comfortable seat I've found. Definitely one of the best upgrades for me. PM me if you're interested and I can give you more info and pics.

Have you checked out the latest ones they are selling over at the JD store..........

You make it sound like you need a tractor seat

6'2" and 285...Corbin Dueltourer...period.

Firm support, so your tailbone isn't bouncing off the plastic seat pan.

Could not be happier.

I have the Ultra seat, and after back surgery I can tell you that this seat will let you ride as long as you want, with no problems. It has a lot of cushion, yet it's scooped enough to let you feel the support so you don't feel that you have to hang on while riding. Good luck.

I've got a Tall Boy ('09 RKC), and it helps move you back some, but it's definitely not the end all in comfort. A friend of mine had his seat reworked (gel pads etc added, foam carved) by Boss Hogg and it IS very comfortable for *** and lower back. I'm taking my Tall Boy to him in August to be reworked. Ck out his link:

I had a Mustang on my RK. Swear by them, I now have one on my FXSTC. I'm not exactly petite either at 6'1", 240.
